Yep - that is what I mean too - sorry if I wasn't clear about it :) In Denmark the old type of non-rechargeable batteries are called "brunsten" which translated gives (...)

All mass has gravity, Gravity is a function of mass. a pinhead floating in space has a gravitational force, but the moons is a lot bigger and could override the pinheads, thus pulling or "Attracting" it towards it. (Though I'm sure flowers and (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space)

The Capacitor-Relayed Open Charged Kinetics battery system is definitely below the main hull of the (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space, FTX)

Pendulums don't work in the absence of gravity, and they really only work with the largest gravitic pull from their location, whether it be from a single source or closely clustered combined sources. The moon exerts the largest gravitic pull (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space, FTX)

The sea monkey explanation was a good one too, just not the right one. IMO. (...) The (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space, FTX)

If it had stopped spinning altogether in relation to Earth, (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)

Ok, It's taken me a long time to figure out just how I want to approach this. 1) the water shifting side to side - how do you think this happens if not from the gravitational pull of (...)

I suspect that the water shifting from side to side counteracts the moon's lack of rotation (through the conservation of energy), thus stopping it exploding. Where the moon may run into (...)
