I dont think that has been worked out yet but it would be odd if they don't. It's relatively simple maths to do. From the distance of Jupiter the moon wouldn't need to be very large. And it has so many to choose from. Then there are all the other coincidentae. Just what would happen if the moon had a magnetic core? Does the fact that it doesn't spin have anything to do with that? How far from the sun would it reposition itself if it had a magnetic field? How would that affect earth? Then there is the fact it is cold by night 2 weeks a month. Does it have ice? Would a diurnal rotation warm it enough to melt it? If it could spin would it be able to support an atmosphere? Would that affect its magnetism? Where would the earth be without it? How does the age of the universe and the time involved in the moon and earth finding each other affect the time that all the other chances would need to come together to produce such a vibrant ball of life? Is evolution possible under such circumstances. OOPS troll... ... sorry. |
