This topic is entirely Selene/moon related, such as the supposed
volcanic or lava fused as little and apparently not so little basalt and silica combined spheres (“green glass spherules”) that researchers claim to be of their NASA/Apollo moon rock samples, that which supposedly their spendy (public owned) mass spectrometers as having only recently detected as containing 260,000 ppb of good old h2o. (that's not necessarily per given mass of common moon bedrock, but of the given mass of each little portion of rock containing such lava formulated geodes as solid glass spheres that could have been contributed and/or contaminated by most any icy meteor encounter) Water Discovered in Moon Rock Samples / By Jeremy Hsu of Space.com http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,380148,00.html http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,380148,00.html# http://space.newscientist.com/articl...mg19926644.200 ““They concluded the moon's mantle has between 260 and 700 ppm of water. "This is very surprising, because for 40 years people have studied lunar rocks and no one found any water," says Saal. "We got lucky."” I can accept this mainstream deductive interpretation, because sufficient geode sequestered remains of moon water shouldn't be all that unlikely, especially if our Selene/moon had come to us as an icy proto-moon from the Sirius star/solar system that had lost 4+ solar mass from its recent red giant phase, or perhaps even from our own icy Oort cloud (similar to Sedna and our binary Plutos). - In addition to however potentially wet or brine worthy the interior of our Selene/moon could very well be, it’s also the most likely and the primary factor of global warming Earth, but only as of the last ice- age this planet w/moon is ever going to see. What is the Selene/moon tidal flex heating of Earth? (117.68e3 tw.h) If the likes of Io and most other moons of Jupiter and Saturn are mainstream science accepted as getting tidal flex heated in addition to whatever’s the atomic/thorium core reactions taking place, whereas then it stands to good enough peer replicated reasoning that our elliptical orbiting Selene/moon with its ongoing average * 2e20 N/sec (2.04e19 kgf/sec) * of orbital tidal force is unavoidably receiving from as well as contributing to the internal and surface heating of our extremely fluid Earth. Upon this terrestrial Earth, at the surface we seem have these fully mainstream accepted sorts of basic force to energy conversions to work with. 1 kgf.m.s = 9.80665 Joules 1 kgf.m.s = 9.295e-8 therm 1 kgf.m.s = .00980665 kj 1 kgf.m.s = 2.72407e-6 kw.h 1 kgf.m.h = 9.80655e-3 kw.h Of the 2e20 N divided equally between the Earth and our Selene/moon, if we took 50% of this hourly tidal force as converted into geothermal energy of kw.h, we’d get 2.04e19 / 2 * 9.80655e-3 = 11.768e16 kw.h (117.68e15 kw.h or 117.68e6 tw.h). How about our taking just a highly conservative 0.1% of that, which gets us all the way down to the dull tidal flexing roar of just 117.68e3 terawatt hours worth of continuous geothermal heating via tidal flex. Surely our absolutely impressive Selene/moon with its fairly robust ratio to Earth is worth at least 0.05% of the 2e20 N/ sec, of which offers * 117.68e3 tw.h * in tidal flex heating (aka global warming and perhaps loads of geophysical flex morphing) seems likely, as after all, that’s 230 w/m2 (excluding vertical terrain factors) but otherwise it’s not very much applied energy per cubic meter of Earth’s volume (1.084e21 m3 [excluding our wet atmosphere]) is worth merely 108.56e-6 w/m3. To be including the volume of our wet and otherwise polluted atmosphere that’s also getting tidal flex heated, we get down to roughly 100 micro watt/m3. This isn’t to say that humanity hasn’t gone out of its way in order to having measurably contributed to our global warming. I know this seems like a lot of ongoing energy, but then I can't say with any certainty if it's equally divided between our Selene/moon and Earth or somehow getting nullified. Perhaps nearly 100% of that tidal flex is actually going directly into Earth, minus whatever is taken up by our sun. The older than Earth Selene/moon itself seems rather thick crusted and by thus kind of tidal morph/flex inert, so that perhaps not much of this mutual tidal radius force is likely morphing or flexing all that much of Selene's innards, and especially so because there's no Selene spin in relationship to Earth for whatever tidal flex to interact with, though just having a little elliptical orbit consideration might be enough to keep Selene’s low density interior from ever turning solid. If you perceive or explicitly insist that I’ve incorrectly calculated any this, as having over/under shot the mark, then simply give this your best swag and offer your improved or more correct rendition of this unavoidable geothermal heating via tidal flexing. - Brad Guth Brad_Guth Brad.Guth BradGuth |
