The above video is a short version that dose not include the math. The following link is to a loner version that contains the math warning if you watch that we are not responsible for imageries to your brain resulting from excessive math content.
Measurements of the distance to moon made using
retro-reflectors left on the moon by Apollo astronauts has shown the moon is receding from the Earth at 3.82 cm per year. Measurements using atomic clocks
have shown that an day is Earth are getting longer at a rate of 1.7
milliseconds per day per century.
Now it turn out that these two phenomenons are related to
each other by way of the tidal forces between the Earth and the Moon. It has
been know for decades that when these figures are plugged into the laws of
physics that they show that the Earth moon system can not be more than
about1.25 billion years old.

Such calculations are largely dismissed by those claiming
that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old. They also point to paleontological
data as evidence that the moon is receding and it is receding at a rate
compatible with 4.5 billion years. These claims not only ignore alternative
interpretations of the fossils and rocks in question but they usually use only
one or two data points when multiple data point are used the scattering in the
data is not what would be expected if it were really a result of the slowing of
the Earth rotation.
It also turns out that when any model using a 4.5 billion
year old earth-moon system is plugged into the same laws of physic they never
produce the current Earth-Moon system with out significant tweaking and then
the always come in below the paleontological data. This includes the currently
accepted “Giant Collision Hypothesis of the Origin of the Moon.”
Furthermore when the same paleontological data is plugged
into the same laws of physics it produces a maximum age for the Earth-moon
system of about 2.067 billion years. Tweaking this model to make it reach 4.5
billion years requires putting an impossibly small delay time in high tide of
less than 24 seconds.
There is simply no way of reconciling a 4.5 billion year old
Earth-moon system with the laws of physics and the paleontological data claimed
as evidence for the same. They simply do not and can not be made to match up.
All of this makes a very strong case that earth-moon system can not be 4.5
billion years old.
You can try the Lunar Recession Simulator us in this study
for free online by following the link in the sentence. You can also buy a down loadable off line
version this Lunar Recession Simulator that comes with the source code. In both cases it will show you much
about tides, lunar recession and the slowing of the Earth’s rotation. It will
help demonstrate why the results present here are valid.
