Scientific paper

The paper considers the origin, fission, and geosynchronous release of the moon. The fission theory was discarded on the basis of energy considerations; however, the accretion of the earth and the radial segregation of heavy chemicals toward the center led to a differential rotation of the different layers so that during the geostationary period the moon was synchronous with respect to the surface layer and the earth-moon system has a correct angular momentum and large stability. It is possible to explain the formation of the one original earth continent and the lunar maria by a half-billion-year geosynchronous phase of the lunar motion; such a phase is possible if the moon was created by fission and if a long period of differential rotation of the earth had existed, the moon being in synchronism with the earth surface.
