The moon has been destroyed twice in Dragon Ball's history, and a real-life scientist examines the [...]
The first time that the moon was destroyed in the Dragon Ball franchise was thanks to Master Roshi in the original series, attempting to stop Goku from going on a rampage in his Oozaru form. Following the resurrection of the moon thanks to the Dragon Balls, the orbiting sphere was once again destroyed thanks to Piccolo, looking to bring Gohan back to normal after he too became a rampaging ape like his father before him.
Osaka Universaity Graduate School Professor Kentaro Terada took the opportunity to chat with Dragon Ball's official site, first examining how it would be quite difficult to destroy the moon,"I think it would be very difficult to destroy the Moon. Let me try to explain it using some research into the destruction of asteroids as an example. It is theorized that a long time ago, an asteroid that collided with the Earth caused the dinosaurs to go extinct.
Would Master Roshi and Piccolo's actions doom the Earth?Terada then took the chance to discuss how the Moon's destruction would more than likely see various projectiles make their way to the Planet Earth, causing serious damage,"Another important point to consider is that if the Moon were to break apart into pieces, huge meteorites would fall onto Earth. That would be extremely dangerous. When the dinosaurs went extinct, it is thought that a 10 km long rock hit the Earth.
The scientist then went on to dissect further implications of the moon being obliterated,"There would be no tides without the Moon, mudflats would disappear, and the entire ecosystem of the ocean would be seriously disrupted. Also, the climate would be totally messed up, too. The places where most humans currently live could become as cold as the North Pole, or as hot as around the Equator.
