      That is excellent deductive reasoning! There is a huge correlation, but you are falling into the same trap that has kept scientists from understanding the mechanics of our magnetic field for 200 years. You are assuming that the field is generated at the core, and you are assuming that the dynamo hypothesis is valid. *Neither is true.* The field is generated in the crust and is piezoelectric. The tidal pull on the landmasses by other celestial bodies produces mechanical stress on quartz-based minerals in the crust, thereby generating the magnetic field. No moon (Venus).. no field. Small insignificant moon's (Mars).. no field. No moon but close enough to get tidal influence from the Sun (Mercury).. magnetic field.

    Why the far-side of the moon is thicker (just an idea): It faces outwards, so it's more likely to be hit by meteorites. The near side which faces Earth would be a lot less likely to be impacted, as the Earth is in the way. Over time the many impacts deposit extra material on the far-side.

      sounds legit. Also legit is the speculation that Moon may be rich in elements quite rare on earth. Because of absence of active geology, anything that drops on the surface just stays there. Imagine a thousand tons deposit of gold platinum etc. Who knows? Hopefully, the time to find out is coming now.

Though if a recent analysis of G type stars found that gas giants are rare around the spectral type mostly appearing around A and F type stars making our Sun quite an outlier in that regard. If that holds up it would lower the odds of such a planetary system due to gas giant host stars being predominately around rarer shorter lived stars but it wouldn't rule the possibility out. If large planet mass moons can form (and they likely can seeing that Callisto Titan and Ganymede are roughly planetary in mass around relatively small gas giants., there is also the possibility that Kepler might have detected a Neptune mass moon around a gas giant.

    Solar tides are a thing (and are the reason our tide height varies through the month) so tidal pools can exist without a moon.

      I find it very strange that a body as big as Earth, lets a body as small as the moon, pull on its oceans. Not only that, but water is heavy.
      How can something that is 240,000 miles away pull on something as heavy as water, on the body that has the water? It gives [me] the impression that the moon is stronger than the Earth.

      @@blackSUAAAVE try thinking about it this way.
      All tides are two objects gravity trying to pull the objects together; and the gravitational winner is decided by the center of the orbit.
      So the moons orbital center is inside the earth therefore the bigger attractor is the Earth.

      BlackSuave44 tbh there isn’t much water on earth. Go look up a cross section of earth and see just how thin the film of ocean is around the earth. Just pulling the tiny thin layer of water on the surface of the earth isn’t too hard for the moon to do, which isn’t that small either - its a sixth of the size of the earth, bigger than Pluto too. So it’s not that hard for the moon to do. Now if the moon starts pulling mountains up as well, then we’d have a disproportionately strong moon. It does affect the rocks on earth but it’s extremely small and we really only see the moon affecting the water on earth. Besides, don’t think of this as the moon being stronger than earth, you may think that only because there’s no equivalent of these tides on the moon. Now if the moon had an ocean, then you can bet the tidal range on the moon ocean due to earth would be way greater than the tidal range seen on earth and this is because the earths gravity is indeed stronger than that if the moon.

    The animation at 8:10 annoys me so bad; I know it's just an unrealistic artistic representation of the Earth-Moon system, and so I can forgive the inaccurate scaling. But listening to informative narration about tidal locking and the Moon's near side always facing Earth while watching an animation incorrectly showing the near side facing AWAY from Earth is wildly infuriating to me. Still, really good video as always.

    I don't think life can develop on a planet without a large moon. It's not because of tidal pools. It's because of the magnetic field a large moon generates by churning up the core of the planet it orbits.

      Iupetre - So close! You are correct about the large moon and magnetic field correlation, but wrong about the core/dynamo. The field is not generated in the core at all. It is generated in the crust, and the Moon creates the constant mechanical stress on piezoelectric crustal minerals that produce the field.

His diligent research derived from a steadfast and loyal community of science in which he participates enthusiastically and reports on with the integrity of someone who takes this sort of information, its accuracy and the sharing of it with a personal vim.
