Making the Moon

Evidence for Alternative Hypotheses

Most researchers want evidence for the direction of an effect, not evidence against a point null hypothesis. Such evidence is ideally on a scale that is easily interpretable, with an accompanying standard error. Further, the evidence from identical experiments should be repeatable, and evidence from independent experiments should be easily combined, such as required in meta-analysis. Such a mea...

Co-integration Relation for Oil Production in Alternative Hypotheses about OPEC Behavior

This study estimates three hypotheses of OPEC behavior: market-sharing, target revenue and competitive model for the period 1980 to 2000 for all OPEC courtiers except Iraq. To examine co-integration relation for oil production, we use ADF test in OLS estimation. Also we use ARDL approach to examine these hypotheses and the long run relationship of them. Results indicate none of three hypotheses...

An Alternative Hypothesis for the Formation of the Moon

Introduction: The giant impact hypothesis [1,2] is the cornerstone of current lunar formation research. However, recent analyses of the elemental and isotopic composition of lunar samples show degrees of similarity between Moon and Bulk Silicate Earth (BSE) that are inconsistent with hydrodynamic models of the Moon-forming giant impact showing 60-90% of the Moon is made up of impactor rather th...
