The theory is, as other people who answered this question said, that the moon is moving away from the Earth. The moon moves on an un-even rotation around the Earth and directly affects tides, temperature, and other natural things. There are also physiological attachments to the moon, IE full moon causing more births and more "medical" emergencies.
The moon is supposed to eventually fall out of our orbit then after that happens we will more rapidly fall out of the orbit of the sun and we will either fly into the sun or go out into space, thus either burning or freezing to death.

I'm not sure that will actually happen. The moon is actually moving 'away' from Earth, not closer. The only way that could happen is if the planet that caught it threw it back at us, or if we pulled it too close with the technology of the future so that it didn't leave and turn Earth around, but it crashed against us.

Absolutely not. In fact the Moon is moving away from the Earth at a rater of about 4 inches per year.

The Moon is pulling further remote from Earth. NASA has been rebounding a laser off of the Moon once a year for your time now and characteristic stated that the Moon is pulling remote from Earth extra or less 1mm in preserving with year, it rather is a few miles in area. at the same time as the Earth became first "born" a stray forming planet hit Earth which showered molten debri into Earths orbit. Over some substantual time, the debri "stuck" mutually forming the Moon as all of us comprehend it in the present day. at the same time as the Moon became first formed the Moon coated one 0.33 of our skyline and Earth's day became extra or less 40 5 minutes lengthy (Earth also circled plenty swifter then). As time has stepped forward, the Moon has pulled remote from Earth, which skill the gyroscopic result that the Moon creates is transforming into weaker and Earth will rotate slower. The Moon will slowly pull further remote from Earth until eventually it creates this is own orbit around the solar and regrettably, the Earth will stand nonetheless with absolutely one area of Earth ever dealing with the solar. The seas will flood lots of the land that we proceed to exist firstly and gravity turns right into a lot less until eventually eventually it ceases to exist. The area of Earth that faces the solar turns into particularly warm and the area that faces away turns into very chilly (a similar as Mercury), which skill existence on earth turns into extinct. yet another component of Earth transforming into "nonetheless" must be no magnetic field, which skill our magnetic "umbrella" or "shelter" ought to dissipate and Earth's environment turns into simular to the Martian environment and Earth will resemble Mars in various of approaches.

This is a new one.
Because of tidal forces the moon is receeding from the earth, so what is going to make it collide with it?
I never heard of this "theory" before.

No
In fact the moon is slowly receding from the earth.
In several billion years it will be twice as far away as it currently is.
500 million years ago, assuming you could have breathed the toxic atmosphere, a full moon would have appeared over twice as big as it does now!

Absolutely not. The moon is actually very slowly moving *away* from Earth, about four meters every century. There is no risk of collision whatsoever.

No! The moon has been receding from Earth almost from the time it formed. From its closest position of about 14,000 miles, it continues to move away at 3.8 cm/year.

It's actually a moon base or space station capable of space travel.Don't worry they will most likely bring another one in to replace it when they leave.Good luck with that stomach problem though.

I'd like to know if you pulled this question out of your rear end or if some nut case actually took the time to sit down and dream this crap up? Either way it's ludacris and impossible and even if it does happen..I will be dead and gone and wont give two hoots what or who crashes into the earth..so THERE..PFPTTHHHFFFFT! :P lol
