What I don't understand is the Bible connection.

At last. That's how far I got but no further. I'm not the only one who hasn't grasped the rest of the "explanation".

That's great work OP!
Guessing the entire thread has not been read, yet? The OP used software inappropriately, and came up to an invalid conclusion, based on a pre-determined confirmation bias.
You know what's really doing it in for NASA? The fact that they want Gary McKinnon so badly.
Source? Specifically, the source that shows "NASA" want McKinnon, and not the FBI....or the U.S. military.....
At least one.

The US National Earthquake Information Center registers some 20,000 earthquakes per year, so you can get an idea of the different amount of data we have. Also, we have registers for earthquakes and other events, like subterranean explosions, for example, and many of those explosions were created on purpose to see how the Earth would react, while for the Moon we have a much smaller data set. If, with all this, we aren't sure of how the Earth is, we are likely much less sure about the Moon.

Sure they are different, you are right about that. However, while we have a lot of data for the Earth, we also have a significant amount of data for the Moon. Over 12,000 events were recorded between 1969 and 1977 when NASA shut down the program in a cost cutting measure.
I think you are getting to attached to the bell idea, many things vibrate that way (don't forget we are talking about vibrations, not really about sound), like a gong or an anvil.
This data shows how the moon reacts in quakes and impacts. NASA even deliberately crashed spacecraft into the Moon for data. Look at the link below and review the graph. It shows the waves propogated for at least 45 minutes when the Moon was impacted. This is similar to when the clapper on the bell impacts the housing.
The funny thing is that I didn't noticed the Bible reference in Conspirus' post, if I had I would have asked where on the Bible does it say that the Earth rings like a bell.
Again I brought up the Bible connection because it was in Conspirus' post that you replied to. Just found your response a little sarcastic (maybe it wasn't meant to be). I didn't bring it up out of the blue, I brought it up in response to your post which was responding to Conspirus' post.
Really?

As many scientific thesis and published papers there are concerning the composition of the Moon....there are JUST as many purporting it is artificial.
That's a good question, do you know if there is an answer for that?
Besides, if it's artificial, where'd it come from?
Those are all good questions, any answers for those?
Who built it? Who put it here? Why did they put it here? Were Humans already on Earth when this took place? Was it put exactly where it is so to hide the Sun perfectly for a lunar eclipse? What's the purpose of it?
If there isn't any vegetation then isn't it unlikely for the Moon to have inhabitants?
Are there inhabitants on the Moon? If so, who? Do Humans know about this? Does the Moon really affect gravity here on Earth? If so, how? Why isn't there any vegetation on there?
Although very big when compared with other satellites on the Solar system, the Moon is not almost as big the Earth, it's 3.7 times smaller.
Why is the Moon almost as big as its hosting planet?
Why should it rotate at a different speed?
Why doesn't the Moon rotate quicker?
Why should it be?
Is the Moon hollow?
There wasn't any reason to go.
Is there a reason why 'known' missions never went back?
It's not really complicated, but if we start questioning everything about something then we will get nowhere. There's nothing wrong in questioning (far from it, it should be encouraged), but the questioning should have some basis on known facts, so they can help the understanding of that subject.
Ah...that's way too complicated. Let's just say it's 'real' and keep arguing about it. That's much more rational!
That's true.

What people agree on (is "agree on" correct?) is irrelevant, it doesn't become true because they believe in it.
My point is.....most agree there is absolutely intelligent life out there.
Once more, that means nothing.
Many agree, some of these intelligent species have been or are currently here.
It's not a question of comfort, it's a question of lack of evidence.
I know that one is very uncomfortable for some so, let's leave that one out.
Right.
So let's go back to, most believe in intelligent alien life because surely the Universe would be an awful waste of real estate just for us.
But why should we look for external reasons for Earthly things? As far as we have seen, Earth has made a good job "living" on its own, so why look for extraterrestrial explanations?
So....................................why stop there? Why can't we incorporate that belief into some of the many things here and around planet Earth, that we haven't figured out yet? I don't understand the hesitation.
That's right, and the fact that some people think there are aliens near us doesn't mean it's true.
It seems we embrace the idea of intelligent alien life as long as it's not near us. Well, I don't think we get to pick and choose how 'life' may work.
The Earth is still a mystery, we have many things to learn.
The Moon is a huge ball of mystery.
Why? Just because we can? Then why stop there? Why not a gift from god(s)? Or demons?
It poses MORE questions (like you said) then answers. So I say, let's substitute the notion that perhaps it's not real and perhaps it is an alien 'gift'.
But that's the same thing as looking at complex equation and substituting it with a big X; it makes things easier to work with, but it doesn't explain a thing.
Because for me, once I dub in 'intelligent alien life' into most of the mysterious things on Earth, somehow......that seems to work for me.
But we can't even answer the basic question(s) about the Moon.
My point is.....most agree there is absolutely intelligent life out there.
Many agree, some of these intelligent species have been or are currently here.
...... because surely the Universe would be an awful waste of real estate just for us.

Maybe an anvil the size of the Moon would vibrate for even longer, we just don't have the data to know that.

45 minutes is just a very long response to a single impact event. An anvil or gong won't propogate vibrations for that long of a duration.
I think that's because we haven't had enough data to really think about it, it's something new.
All I want to know is why but our current theories can't explain why!
It was 9%
I'm not running around Bible thumping people either so can we please get back to the evidence that exists especially considering that comment was about 1% of my post

I suppose those 45 minutes come from the following image, and if it came, then it was not constant during the 45 minutes, but close to it, unless it already had that level before the impact.

Somehow, I sense that the "45 minute" comment is over-exaggerated. The intensity of the response, over that stated time frame, would not have been constant.
Maurice Ewing, co-head of the seismic experiment, told the afternoon crowd of the unexpected event, informing them that the Moon was still ringing. He confessed he was at a loss to explain why the Moon behaved so strangely. "As for the meaning of it," Ewing announced, "I'd rather not make an interpretation right now. But it is as though one had struck a bell, say, in the belfry of a church a single blow and found that the reverberation from it continued for 30 minutes." As he spoke the reverberations continued on for another 25 minutes.

Neither will a bell.
With a spheroid as large as the Moon, with the complex internal structures and layers, it is the examination of the reverberations that helps scientists identify the internal (hidden) arrangement.
Somehow, I sense that the "45 minute" comment is over-exaggerated. The intensity of the response, over that stated time frame, would not have been constant. So, "45 minutes" leads one to an incorrect conclusion, based solely on that time figure. The sensitivity and range of measurement that the instruments were capable of perceiving have to be taken into account.
