Perhaps you could name something known about the nature of the earth's core, and tell me how that knowledge was got, by what means it was verified, and by whom. Speculative ideas however sophisticated are not synonymous with scientific knowledge. Surely we must have real knowledge, not conjecture, about the earth's core, before we can begin to speculate, on the basis of such understanding, about the influence which the moon might theoretically exert upon it. Otherwise we are making wild conjectures on the basis of things which are themselves speculative in nature, an activity quite divorced from reality however stimulating to the intellectual imagination.

Possibly. But we know nothing about the earth's core. Therefore it would be impossible in our present state of knowledge to know what effect if any the moon might exert upon the earth's core. Any answer we might come up with to this question is purely speculative.

I should like to see that evidence.
