The Moon is Slowly Drifting Away from Earth: Unraveling the Cosmic Mystery
Have you ever gazed up at the night sky and wondered if the Moon is getting smaller? Well, it's not shrinking—it's actually drifting away from Earth! This isn't some sci-fi plot; it's a real, scientifically proven phenomenon happening right now. Earth's only natural satellite, the Moon, is moving farther from us at a rate of about 1.5 inches (3.8 centimeters) per year. That's roughly the speed at which your fingernails grow. While it might not seem like much, over millions of years, this gradual separation could reshape our planet's days, tides, and even its stability.

Moral authority becomes political capital. Money becomes the mechanism of coercion. By the time the fracture is visible, the architecture that produced it has long been in place.
