Thus, for the ejected material to have been flung off of Earth, centrifugal forces would have flung such off in the SAME DIRECTION as the Earth spins... not in the opposite direction. Thus... any theory that pre-supposes the Earth to have been the "mother" object from which the Moon was formed is going to likewise be forced to face this glaring contrary fact.Upir'https://www.blogger.com/profile/06473665488678771761noreply@blogger.com
