Scientific paper

THE resonance theory of the origin of the moon was reduced to a state of low probability by work of Jeffreys1 in 1930. The calculations of Jeffreys were based on the assumption of a velocity of slip between the central core and mantle of the primitive earth - moon body, and implied that energy would be dissipated at the core boundary several hundred times faster than could be allowed if the needed amplitudes were to be developed through resonance.
