So OK, we have a fluid Earth. How, precisely, does that allow the
Moon to be captured from Sirius or from Venus?

Good grief, it really doesn't. Earth being sufficiently fluid is what
simply allows the gravity of sol and that of our moon's combined tidal
energy to keep Earth's mostly fluid planetology in motion, and thus
unavoidably kept a little extra warm and toasty (mostly from the
inside out), although the friction associated with the moving of our
badly polluted oceans and atmosphere is certainly added right along
with the little extra worth of secondary IR/FIR that's also
contributed by way of our unusually massive and nearby moon. It's
called "Global Warming" or GW, and for the most part it's extensively
via friction.

An interesting answer, actually. Not sure I believe it without some
calculations, which I'm not all that sure how to do at the moment.
Boiled down, the Earth's flexing (as though it were a rubber ball) as
it rotates under the Moon is partly responsible for global warming. I
have no idea how to estimate the heat generated by that flexing.

Well folks, it's all about good old Earth and moon science that we
obviously seem to have been failing rather badly at. Yet supposedly
we've walked on that unusually passive moon, but only at the times
when Venus was invisible and when the moon's surface looked exactly
like a terrestrial guano island that was getting rather nicely xenon
arc lamp spectrum illuninated to boot.

Apparently their physics laws of photons, albedo and of unfiltered
Kodak film worked entirely different while on that salty old moon of
ours.

BTW, where otherwise than into our mostly fluid Earth do you suppose
all of that horrific tidal forced energy is going, if not into
creating heat?


The only thing that could possibly have been beneficial of Earth's
fluid nature is on behalf of folks on either orb having survived the
lithobraking encounter that helped establish our seasonal tilt, and
having deposited so much of that salty ice along with whatever complex
DNA within or having otherwise intentionally come along for the ride
of getting away from a somewhat pesky binary star system that had just
recently gone red giant, thereby migrating a few spare items into a
somewhat passive and reasonably nearby solar system like ours. I'm
thinking that's where the first use of phrases like "Christ almighty"
and "thank your lucky stars" came to past.

How's that?

Needs more salt. :-) Erm, I mean, work.

Then go right ahead and put the salt of your fully interactive 3D
orbital simulator and of its supercomputer to work, because that's
exactly what sort of "work" it needs.

BTW, the public already owns dozens of such spendy supercomputers,
plus all of the necessary interactive orbital software that's well
suited for accommodating this retro astrophyiscs task.
