Question #2

Since the faster you go threw space the slower you go threw time, you'd figure that the moon is moving faster threw space than us, since it has the speed of the earth plus it's additional movement around the earth.

So time should move slower on the moon.
So if you took a laser and a mirror and put the laser on the earth and the mirror on the moon and shot yourself a message that would bounce off the moon and back to the earth.
Since time moves slower on the moon would you get the message before you ever sent it?

No.

Light needs one second to get to the moon ads one second back. That

The Earth revolves around it's axis faster than the moon. That is why the moon comes up in the eastern sky, just like the sun. In other words the earth is spinning faster than the moon around the earths axis.

The moon also gets farther away from us by about 1 inch per year.

Also. wrong the time it will take untill the moons loses its orbit arouned us, the sun, (moving towards us) will have melted the moon, witch will cause a explosion witch will speed the earth up,
