THE FOUR MOONS 159<br />
the highest tides the world ever experienced. But let's discuss<br />
the moon first.<br />
As I said before, the theory of a very close and very big moon<br />
explains the marine sediments at the 12,000-foot elevation most<br />
logically. Such a supermoon would have enough pull to nearly<br />
balance the gravity of the earth.<br />
earth, it<br />
Together with the spin of the<br />
would cause immense tides in the Torrid Zone, and if<br />
this moon would create four tides during one day, as would be<br />
the case with a moon spinning fast enough, there would be no<br />
time for the tides to ebb away. The high-water belt on the equator<br />
would become a stationary and permanent feature with the<br />
resulting accumulation of marine sediment at this high level.<br />
But since it is impossible that our present moon could have<br />
been at any time closer to earth than it is now and since it is also<br />
improbable that it would have been much bigger in the not so<br />
distant past, we must assume that there must have been another<br />
moon, bigger and closer to earth, before we started serenading<br />
our present little one. And if there could have been two moons,<br />
why not three or four? The theory of the four moons is not so<br />
crazy after all. It seems to be quite sane, because it is in harmony<br />
with all the legends and especially with the mysterious stories<br />
about giants who lived at the time of the big moon. Even the<br />
Bible tells us about them.<br />
We have another mystery to solve. Wliat's the relation between<br />
the existence of giants on earth in the past that nobody,<br />
including even the Church, has ever doubted, and the closer and<br />
bigger moon? In my opinion, there is a clear cause-and-effect<br />
relationship. While our official science still dismisses the multiple-moon<br />
theory, it is not quite so sure there isn't a direct<br />
influence of gravity, among other factors, upon the size of the<br />
human body. The Watusi of East Africa are much taller than the<br />
Eskimos, and it could be that this difference is caused by dissimilar<br />
gravity, which is less at the equator than at the poles. But<br />
the aborigines of Australia who live close to the equator are very<br />
small and so are the people in Borneo and Sumatra, who live<br />
right on it. There must be other causes that determine our size,<br />
like radioactivity or availability of food. Disregarding these contradictions,<br />
we must however recognize that there is a direct<br />
cause-and-effect relationship between gravity and human size,
