Yes .. IT doesn't rotate on IT'S axis.
IT only appears to do so.
And he was wrong. It does rotate on its axis.
That is the reality that Tesla and others propose...
No, that was the theory that he proposed, not the reality. Reality is what it is.
You have a situation where both answers are correct yet diametrically opposed unless you delve deeper into the physics of it.
Which has been done. And Tesla was wrong.
Logic itself is not the truth. While something can be quite logically valid it can lead to terribly wrong conclusions.
Noone has said logic itself is the truth, so please don't raise strawmen.
Ask any one sentenced to jail for a crime they never committed.
Circumstantial evidence is thus considered rather weak.
More strawmen.
But of course you would not understand ( I am not seeking agreement) that point as you are too busy attempting to support your vanity by ridiculing others... ( I already accept that like Trump, you can't help it and are under compulsion so don't fret ol'e Sarkus you can believe in your superiority for as long as you wish to)
You can either educate yourself or you can continue to argue ad hominem. Your choice. As for my "superiority", you're the one that seems obsessed with it, QQ. Why is that?
It is ok if you blindly accept the mainstream view...but look around you and ask yourself whether that is a useful and successful position.
The position that, in this case, is correct? You're asking me if that is a useful and successful position to take??
I have already acknowledged the need to do further research...unlike you... who seems to be content in believing a potential fallacy.
I believe the facts, including the fact that moon rotates about its axis.
Look, if you really want to dig deep into this, great, set up a thread, move all this over to it, and we can carry on. It's great that you're exploring the matter, but as ever you have taken someone's argument and run with it without fully understanding it, simply because it contains words that you think support your case.
But let me be quite clear: Tesla was wrong. Not entirely, though, and his argument paved the way for further understanding the reasons behind the moon's formation and rotation. But he was wrong: the moon really does spin on its axis. Tesla claimed that if the moon was suddenly freed of the Earth's gravity that it would fly off and not rotate at all: "
If the gavitational string, as it were, would snap, the satellite would go off in a tangent without the slightest swerving or rotation, for there is no moment about the axis and, consequently, no tendency whatever to spinning motion".
He goes on to say:
"Let us suppose that this would occur at the instant when the moon is opposition. Then it would continue on its eliptical path around the sun, presenting to it steadily the face which was always exposed to the earth. If, on the other hand, the latter would disappear at the moment of conjunction, the moon would gradually swing around thru 180-degrees and, after a number of oscillarions, revolve, again with the same face to the sun."

He thus seemed to view the earth moon system in the same manner as paddoboy's bucket swinging, and in that case the bucket would not rotate if released. But with regard the moon he was also clearly thought that the face to the earth was due to gravity alone - that the face showing did so because it was denser than the far side - the same reason "Weebles wobble but they fall down" (
) - they always resolve to having the dense part at the bottom.
Tesla was wrong: if suddenly freed from the earth's gravity, the moon would continue to rotate.
Do the research, if only for your own benefit, QQ. Educate yourself. Learn that the moon really is spinning. It really does rotate about its own axis. Tesla's argument from 1919, while interesting and offers an alternative perspective, is wrong.
But if you're not interested in doing so, at least don't continue to double-down on it.
