Besides the moon itself, it also plays a great role in human exploration of the universe. Do you know why? The moon is the closest planet to the earth in the universe and the most familiar planet for human beings. The future can be used as a springboard for further exploration of the universe.
What will happen if the moon is blown up? What is the most direct relationship between the moon and the earth? Can man blow up the moon? Can this idea come true? Next, let's learn why an American expert blew up the moon so that there would be no seasonal changes on the earth. Did he find something incredible?
199 1 year, an American expert put forward a jaw-dropping idea to blow up the moon. He is Alexander Abyan, a professor of mathematics at Iowa State University. He described his "moonless earth theory" in the school newspaper. He believes that the moon, which can react with ocean tides and change the inclination of the earth by 23 degrees, is the chief culprit of human survival problems.
If the moon is blown up, the earth will not shake because of it, and then the seasonal changes of the earth will disappear, and human beings can live in an environment with four seasons like spring. At the end of last century, the weather changes caused by global warming brought great harm to the earth. Professor A Bian believes that if seasonal changes can be eliminated, then human beings will no longer need to face the damage caused by extreme weather such as hurricanes, floods and blizzards.
Is it simple? But is this idea really realistic?
In order to blow up the moon, the amount of explosives needed must exceed the gravitational binding energy of the moon. If the moon is regarded as a regular sphere with uniform density.
Tsar bomba is the largest nuclear bomb in human history, equivalent to 50 million tons of TNT. According to estimates, it takes nearly 600 billion "tsar bomba" to completely blow up the moon. However, at present, there are not so many bombs on the earth that it is impossible to blow up the moon. What's more, this is only the minimum calculation based on the moon.
Experts from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States have a negative attitude towards this statement. They think that if the moon is blown up, some debris may become meteorites and hit the earth, especially when the moon is so close to the earth. A large number of meteorite fragments come to the earth, which will cause devastating damage to all living things on the earth. In 20 13, a problematic meteoroid attack occurred. At that time, meteoroids directly hit Chelyabinsk, Russia, causing about 1500 injuries.
There is no way to realize the theory of eliminating the four seasons of the earth based on A-Bian. The four seasons of the earth are formed by the ecliptic angle. If the ecliptic angle is zero, then the sun will always go straight to the equator, and then the four seasons will disappear, and the daily length will still be 12.
But this is not the case, except that some moon fragments will hit the earth in the form of meteorites, and the rest may be scattered around the earth, and then the inclination of the earth may exceed the current level. After tens of thousands of years, the four seasons will not disappear, but will form new ones.
Even this inclination may exceed 45, which will cause one side of the earth to face the sun forever, while the other side will fall into permanent darkness. Therefore, blowing up the moon will not only fail to solve the climate problems facing mankind now, but also directly accelerate the demise of mankind.
Even if humans don't blow up the moon, the earth without the moon will be greatly affected. As a natural satellite, the moon has an influence on the earth. According to the research of scientists, the moon appeared earlier than the earth. The gravitational interaction between the moon and the earth. For billions of years, the earth's tidal force has locked the moon, and the resulting tidal movement has made the earth form a stable geological structure.
Although some scientists believe that the moon is closely related to earthquakes on the earth, it is indispensable for the occurrence of many catastrophic earthquakes. But without the moon, it may be more difficult for the earth to form such a stable geological structure, and then the crustal movement will be more intense, leading to more serious volcanic eruptions, catastrophic earthquakes and floods.
Many marine life on the earth, after billions of years of evolution, has formed a close relationship with the tides of the ocean. Once the moon disappears, it will inevitably affect the ecosystem of marine life. It may cause a large number of algae plants to die, leading to oxygen imbalance in the region.
Although marine life is the first to be affected, the earth's ecology is a whole, and over time, terrestrial life will also be affected by this, which directly leads to the serious destruction of the earth's ecological balance. In addition, many people should have heard of the saying that the moon protects the earth. With the deepening of human exploration of the universe, we found that the back of the moon was almost covered with potholes. Scientists believe that it may be a crater left by a large number of celestial bodies.
It is conceivable that if there is no moon ahead to stop a large number of celestial attacks in the universe, then the present earth will be riddled with holes. Therefore, the existence of the moon is very important to us, especially as an unpolluted planet. At present, mankind is still considering using the moon as a springboard to explore the universe and build a base on it. Therefore, what we should do is to protect the moon instead of trying to blow it up.
Although the idea of blowing up the moon is extreme, in fact, in the last century, when the United States and the former Soviet Union competed in space, they had plans to blow up the moon.
At that time, the former Soviet Union was in the lead, 1957. The first man-made satellite Putnik 1 was launched into space. In addition, the United States failed to launch satellites twice at that time, which made Americans sit still. In order to regain the situation, they launched a series of new plans and studies, including a top secret plan: A 1 19 plan.
1958, senior American officials proposed to launch a hydrogen bomb (later changed to an atomic bomb) on the moon and detonate it. One of the purposes is to let people on earth directly watch the huge mushroom cloud produced by the nuclear explosion on the moon with the naked eye.
Raphael, an American scientist who was forced to participate in the research project at that time, protested strongly. If this plan is really implemented, it will do great harm to the earth and the moon. First of all, we say that if the atomic bomb successfully flies to the moon and explodes, it will produce a lot of radioactive dust, which will hardly float, but stay on the moon.
If people want to explore the surface of the moon again, they will be affected by these radioactive dust, so the astronauts who landed on the moon later will not be able to complete the task so smoothly.
Besides, was this atomic bomb really successfully launched to the moon? This is an unknown number. Although some achievements have been made in the study of the atomic bomb in the United States at that time, if it is allowed to pass through the atmosphere and finally come to the moon, the risk will be great. Moreover, the lunar probe launched by the United States at that time was unsuccessful because of the imperfect rocket performance.
Then, if a rocket carrying a destructive atomic bomb fails to launch, or crashes when it is launched into the atmosphere, it will fall down and eventually form a huge mushroom cloud on the earth's surface. Fortunately, the cost and risk of this plan are too high, so it has never been realized. No matter before or now, the idea of bombing the moon is somewhat irrational.
