Moon To COLLIDE With Earth And Turn Into Ball Of Magma–planetary Scientists Warn by Kemperor: 8:16pm On Feb 08, 2017
- A scientists assertion suggests that the Moon will collide into Earth

- The research infers that the collision will be in a few billion years

- Here is the explanation...

Experts are warning the moon will collide with Earth, an impact which will turn our planet into magma. Yes, this is for real… but stay calm, it will not happen for another 65 billion years!

The moon is presently moving away from the Earth. This movement has been calculated at around 3.8cm per year. But scientists have come to the conclusion our planet’s rotation will eventually slow down, causing the moon to slowly be pulled towards us.

In the event of a collision, massive amounts of energy would be released, melting the Earth into a magma ocean.

Dr Jason Barnes, a planetary scientist at the University of Idaho, is the expert behind these predictions. “The final end-state of tidal evolution in the Earth-moon system will indeed be the inspiral of the moon and its subsequent collision and accretion onto Earth,” he puts it, explained in scientific terms.

The moon orbits around Earth due its gravitational force. Nevertheless, the moon also exerts a gravitational force on our planet. This is the reason behind ocean’s high and low tides, and the fact that it slightly pushes the moon away at the same time.

Dr Barnes suggests that when Earth's rotation slows down –one day, very far into the future– the moon will stop moving outwards. This will coincide with the Sun running out of fuel, expanding towards the Earth, it what has been called the “Red Giant phase”. This will sap energy from the Earth-moon system, making our satellite start coming closer to Earth.

Dr Barnes warned that the moon will “get so close that it would spiral inward, dissipating its orbital kinetic energy in a spectacular collision and merger with the Earth.”

Where will human beings be in 65 billion years? If our race still exists by then, let’s hope not on Earth!

What do you think about this prediction, let us have your opinion

how does that even make sense?
the moon has been moving in it orbit as perfectly designed by God from the begining and has not collided with earth for zillions of years.
Is it now that it will suddenly change course out of its orbit without any force?
If we are to apply the Newton law of motion that an object will continue to be in a state of rest, or continue to move along its path EXCEPT an external force is exerted on it. So the question is what external force causing ONLY the moon to deviate from its course. Such a force, that is strong enough to change the moon's path would have been felt by earth.

So what else are we supposed to expect from these people? that the sun is tired of giving light to the solar system?

A beg, next.....

this is probably a so called scientist trying to get into the lime light by twisting out crap right from his dreams - it's a fact that in fact the moon is drifting away from us...
