In March of this year, I watched a blockbuster movie - Moonfall, which tells the story of the moon being controlled by mysterious dark matter, which is hidden in the core of the moon, gradually getting out of control, and finally making the moon out of orbit.
The movie proposes the idea that the moon's core is hollow, and many online reviews say that this idea is too wonderful. In fact, this is not a new and peculiar idea, the idea of a hollow moon has been proposed in ancient China, but this idea has not been confirmed.
I didn't mean to belittle this blockbuster, after watching the movie, I gave this ** a high score. It is indeed a very good shot, the special effects and atmosphere are very strong, and the sense of pressure on the giant object produced by the moon when it falls is very strong and realistic, as if it is immersive, but if the moon hollow theory is their first creation, this is definitely not true.
On the fifteenth day of August, the moon was full and large, and the shadow on the moon was clearly visible. In the days when there were no televisions, we would cool off in the courtyard on clear nights, listen to the stories told by our elders, and there was nothing else to do, and time was too slow to pass. I stared blankly at the moon, and the more I looked, the closer the moon came to me, and finally I felt myself soaring, flying towards the Moon Palace like Chang'e - by this time, Dafan was already sleepy, and was about to fall asleep.
I looked at the shadows of the moon and imagined that it was the osmanthus tree, Wu Gang, and the jade rabbit and the toad—that Sister Chang'e must have stayed in her boudoir and would not come out to show her face. When the moon was at its clearest, when Wu Gang was tired from cutting down trees, I saw him resting on the long handle of his axe with his back bent, while the jade rabbit and toad gathered at his feet, as if chirping: "Oh, look, look, the place where the tree was cut down is healed again!".”
The history of mankind is pitifully small and fleeting in relation to the history of the universe. Although the great poet Qu Yuan is more than 2,000 years away from us, there is no difference between the moon he sees and the moon we see. When Qu Yuan looked at the moon more than 2,000 years ago, he asked the question in his heart: What is the black shadow on the moon?Could it be that there is a rabbit hidden in the belly of the moon?What does this shadow do to the moon?
At that time, Qu Yuan could not answer the question "why does the moon have a shadow", so he guessed whether it was the legendary jade rabbit or toad hiding in the belly of the moonFrom his question, we see that more than 2,000 years ago, people began to have the three-dimensional concept of "the moon is spherical", at least not that the moon is a circular patch that is pasted in the night sky. Qu Yuan's questioning also reflected the embryonic state of the moon's hollowness theory, because he suspected that the moon had a jade rabbit hidden in its belly.
Now we know that the surface of the moon is uneven, and the shadows on the moon are undulating potholes, and these depressions are less able to reflect the sun's light, so when we look at the moon from afar, we see dark spots. As early as more than 2,000 years ago, Qu Yuan was able to ask such questions, and his spirit of exploration and questioning is admirable.
In the history books of the Jin Dynasty in China, it is recorded that when the ancients observed the sky at night, they observed that the moon had a bizarre abnormal derailment event - it suddenly deviated from the orbit, but immediately returned to normal (original text: "In May of the eleventh year, the moon suddenly lost its course and went south, and it was restored"). If it is only one person who sees it, it may be because of a momentary dazzle, but this matter is recorded in the official history, and the official history must not be entered by listening to a person's words, and it must be evidence-based.
What is it that causes the moon to suddenly change its orbit and then return to normal in an instant?If it is a natural phenomenon of a celestial body, such as being hit by a foreign object, it cannot be corrected immediately. On the contrary, it is very much like a machine being controlled, due to a deviation due to the operator's negligence, the operator realizes that something is wrong and immediately adjusts it. But this momentary change was captured by the celestial watchers on Earth.
There is a well-known legend about the moon in the Tang Dynasty - the "Moon Cultivator" dressed in white in "Youyang Miscellaneous". In that dynasty, people had made it very clear that the moon was a sphere, and the mysterious man in white mentioned in the book seemed to be no different from the normal Tang Dynasty people. The mysterious man in white claimed to be from the moon and was one of the repairmen on the moon (now known as mechanics and engineers), and according to him, there were "82,000 households" of repairmen like him on the moon. If it is calculated according to the calculation of five people in one household, 82,000 households is equivalent to more than 400,000 mechanics living on the moon all year round to maintain the normal operation of the planet.
So what about these 400,000 people in **?There are no signs of human life on the surface of the moon. Let's think about it, where are the "82,000 moon cultivators" imagined by the ancients hidden?Is it possible that they are like Qu Yuan's suspicion of "Gu Su in the belly", hidden in the core of the moon?What kind of mode do they live and live in, what kind of ecology do they establish to adapt to the lunar environment, and what are the characteristics and advantages of this ecology?......Anyone who thinks a little more will sigh that what we know is only a small number.
There were some outstanding people among the ancients, who were not only talented, but also possessed advanced thinking. Although the development of technology cannot keep up with their ideas, so that these ideas that seem incompatible with the world have been suppressed, excluded and even **, their insistence on independent thinking and the courage to question the spirit is worthy of our contemporary Xi and respect.
