Scientific paper

A new method for determining the early history of the earth-moon system is described. Called the study of lunar paleotides, it describes a method for explaining features of the remnant lunar gravity field, and the generation of the lunar mascons. A method for the determination of earth-moon distances compared with the radiometric ages of the maria is developed. It is shown that the moon underwent strong anomalous gravitational tidal forces, for a duration less than 1,000,000 yr prior to the formation of the mascon surfaces. As these tidal forces had not been present at the time of the formation of the moon, this shows that the moon could not have been formed in orbit about the earth.
