  1. Yes, this is right. +1. Around the equator, I have estimated it like this: I hope my reply above would clarify.
  2. Exactly correct. +1. (May I ask you to hide your answer using Spoiler button next time as the question is in this forum?)
  3. This is correct. +1 I don't know a way with fewer cuts.
  4. Perhaps you can demonstrate it by solving the unsolved puzzles here: Brain Teasers and Puzzles - Science Forums
  5. You can enlarge other parts of your body as well. Just Google it.
  6. During Solar eclipse the Moon shadow moves on the Earth surface. In which direction does it move, toward East or toward West?
  7. It is demonstrated here:
  8. What can I say without being banned? Ha-ha.
  9. Tidal bulges. The Earth spinning in the same sense as rotation of the Moon around it. Forces between the Earth crust and the ocean water. The bulges staying ahead of the Moon's position relative to the Earth. Slowing of the Earth spinning. Angular momentum conservation. Take away any one of these, and the Moon does not drift away.
  10. Well, you've asked earlier to point to something in your explanation that is wrong: So, here you are. Your explanation above of the Moon drifting away from the Earth is wrong. And it doesn't matter if we comprehend it or not. It is wrong because it omits crucial ingredients. Without these ingredients the drift would not happen.
  11. No, but only what I like.
  12. I am selective.
  13. There are many possibilities.
  14. Maybe OP is simply unfortunate to be surrounded by people, e.g., at work, who really deserve contempt?
  15. And if they think you wasted their time, you pay them.
  16. You're looking for simple explanations, but the explanation above is not simple at all. Can you explain simply, what makes the Moon drift away from the Earth?
  17. All four of the above are complex conjugates of themselves by the virtue of being real numbers or Hermitian operators.
  18. What about the objects which don't move toward mass? For example, the Moon does not move toward the Earth. Moreover, the Moon slowly drifts away from the Earth.

    Have sent a message to you.

    I'm sorry, I've just realized that my previous post appears to reply to @TheVat, which was not my intention. I repeat it here because I think @MasterOgon might be interested, as my daughter, an artist (albeit in a different genre and several years ago), used to like that site:
