Well, there is, but its not permanently dark there. Darkness last for a maximum period of one month.
Heres a quote from the films beginning: "Its hard to believe that Sun never shines at some of these places... Ever"
Far side of the Moon and dark side of the Moon are completely two different things.
Well, for one dark side of the moon is the side of the moon we dont see from earth, not station that sun doesn't shine there. This has been called as dark side of the moon way before we ever had space program (try renaissance litterature) and has nothing to do with lighning.
Now in the movie they say the sun never shines at some of those places, and those places are the insides of lunar craters. it is possible that there are craters and caves where sun doesn't shine, we have such places on earth.

If you want horror - tune in the news channel.
It's not called the dark side of the moon because the sun never shines upon it. It's actually because the darker rocks (basalt) are on the far side of the moon (the side we never see because the moon is locked unto us, we only see the light side, because it's literally lighter in color). The basaltic rocks are on the other side and a scientific theory for this is because of the gravitational push that comes from the planet. This push has literally pushed the rocks to the other unseen side. Thus a light and dark side. It has nothing to do with the sun.

The nomenclature of the so-called 'dark' and 'light' sides of the moon is indeed somewhat misleading, as it stems from a misconception as to the consistency of the moon's surface itself. Whereas it is commonly believed that the side facing earth is composed of Swiss Emmental, it actually consists to over 80% of Feta, giving it a very light complexion. The so-called 'dark side' consists of mainly Brunost, interveined with strands of Colby and subterranean concentrations of Cheddar, to which it owes its slightly darker hue.

So much misinformation. How do you explain the mathematical inconsistency here? If 80 percent of the surface of the moon is composed of Feta, how do you account for it's mass and rotational speed? NASA thoroughly tested some of the lunar samples and stated they were 'just fine on crackers' and 'not crumbly'. This is not theory, this is a quantitative fact established by REAL physical samples and REAL scientists and not some arm-chair astronaut over the interwebs. We can surmise the surface is most likely composed primarily of the denser Gouda. NASA has been debunking this 'Feta Surface' BS for years but you nutters still turn up everywhere.
shareHaha, excuse me while I'm LMFAO – seriously, you just have to believe everything you're spoon-fed, don't you? It is a widely known fact that those samples have been exposed to Earth's atmosphere for AT LEAST 24ms during salvage. No wonder they are “fine on crackers” - what wouldn't be? And if the samples were indeed “not crumbly”, how come until this day no one at NASA is able to account for a porosity of over .35 of this wondrous “Gouda”?
shareAre you on a lark my friend? Have you had YOUR fun at MY expense?
Where do I start?! First of all, what do you mean by "Gouda"? Are you suggesting that Gouda does not exist or that Moon Gouda does not exist? Both assertions are demonstrably false. I don't understand your snide suggestion and, quite honestly, I don't care to.
Your porosity argument has some merit. Yet, on closer examination, the very inconsistencies you speak of only BOLSTER the established Gouda Surface Theory, for how DOES Moon Gouda obtain a porosity of .35?
A: Super-heated, Highly Compressed, Fondue Core.
As an accomplished physicist, astronomer, fromager AND affineur, and competent wiffle-baller AND hacky-sacker, I feel you should bow out gracefully to both my intellectual and physical superiority like a gentleman, rather than a beggar grasping at straws.
Just to put both of you back on track here, and I don't really want to argue the Gouda Surface Theory vs the Feta Surface and Light Theory however the porosity of .35 cannot be proven by the super-heated fondue core. Even NASA can't account for that, and even though the idea of a super heated fondue core sounds like the perfect dish (with crackers)(and maybe some bread sticks)it is exactly what an arm chair scientist would believe... Recent cheese dream studies in Japan has helped people to understand their cheese and has been especially effective with deciphering moon Gouda and regular Gouda and whether or not their is a super-heated fondue core, the results were Unamamous... no fondue core.
http://nitrome.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Cheese_Dreams
Oh lord, you are one of those "Ancient Astronauts Terraformed the Surface of the Moon with Fake Space Gouda" adherents? Dime a dozen my friend...Dime a dozen.
When can the science of Moon cheese finally be free of these fantastical fringe hypotheses. Do you think your propaganda makes it easier for people to sleep at night? Ignorantly believing that their is a fluffy ball of Feta floating over their heads rather than the dense looming shadow of concentrated and fiery fondue Gouda?! Believe me, I wish that was the world we lived in...
I sincerely thought this was a forum for level-headed intellects to communicate, educate, and solve this problem.
"Ancient Astronauts Terraformed the Surface of the Moon with Fake Space Gouda" If this is how you define Space Mice then, yes and who better than mice to define our cheese?
Since it seems you want to argue the Feta light Surface theory vs the Gouda surface Theory, then so be it, mind you the porosity is .35 and all you can tell me is their is a super heated fondue core pfft, wheres your facts? have you even looked at these cheese dreams studies in Japan?
My Hypotheses point to the fact if it were true and Gouda was the center then arn't we in some clear and present danger of fiery fondue showers or perhaps a very sticky end? next thing you will be telling me that the earth is getting hotter and the oceans are getting warmer because the fondue is at tipping point...
Space Mice! Now, you muddy the waters with Space Mice propoganda! Of all the Space Mice encounters, NONE have ever been validated. While I do not doubt, that if Space Mice existed, they would likely covet our GOUDA based Moon, this is just a diversionary scare tactic you have utilized, designed to draw upon man's innate fear of the concept of Ancient Space Mice seeding the galaxy with cheesetoids, cheeserites, and cheeselanets. All this subterfuge simply to distract from the real issue...
Take your straw man arguments elsewhere...
AHA! so u do believe that if they existed my theory would be right. You are correct to assume and that no-one has ever seen them...however. As any cheese theorist would(should) know,(and Space mouse for that matter)that a good size platter of various wondrous cheeses (definitely some Stilton) just 30 min before nigh nigh and voila!!! Space mice and the fluffy floating feta cheese god will greet you, now mix this with those crazy japanese dream studies and you got reality my friend and talking space mice to boot (I always knew they existed) . who quite clearly state no fondue man no fondue.
shareWhen we reconvene in Sweden to contribute data and analysis in conference, feel free to drop by and reiterate your laughable theories. The Swiss will punch holes in them better than I.
I will bite though: Explain to me this Japanese Dream Study reference, though I fear it features a lot of animation, poor dubbing, and questionable use of tentacles.
So you have heard of it then?
shareOnly kidding ! that would be preposterous, really, tentacles and animation and poorly dubbed films! geez! how on earth can this relate to Cheese theory I do not know! no in fact the Cheese dream theory is about being one with the cheese, letting cheese breathe through you (eek), and one can only achieve this state with variety of different cheeses ingested before sleep. However It does involve watching a quick episode of DORAEMON (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doraemon), being surrounded with Hello Kitty posters and committing Yubitsume. pffft tentacles...
shareIt's well documented that the benefits of watching Doraemon are moot. The major problem with deriving any beneficial effect is that one must first watch Doraemon, which a healthy mind would avoid at all costs. The injury to the psyche may last for days/weeks/months depending on the fortitude of the subject.
This psychic damage MAY be offset in the face of sufficient Hello Kitty posters as you suggest. MAY being the operative word. There is nothing conclusive in this regard, but I will admit you are well read and familiar with the emerging experimental research in this field.
Lastly, it's a known fact that anything Japanese will eventually try to get frisky with you with some tentacles. Your objection to this fact is in bad faith, and reveals that you are concealing your true agenda.
What's your end game here with all this misinformation?
Oh i thought u knew nothing of this research? well then I will tidy up ur theories a lil bit. Yes anyone watching Doraemon with a clear head would indeed be in for a shock and correct again im sure the trauma could take months to recover from, and yes it is offset by the cheese ingested and the hello kitty posters...however this is when the act of Yubitsume is quite useful, the element of pain that is released while being surrounded by hello kitty posters (a cat) while wathcing Doraemon (a cat of sorts)makes the space mice believe u are indeed a cat in pain. And just when they want to extract justice upon u they get distracted by the amount of cheese of the participant, It sets the space mice off balance and at this precise time is when the space mice are revealed and of course this is where one can have a relatively "normal" conversation discussing cheese theories and the non existant fondue core. (there is also a theory that watching Doraemon with a clear head is in fact space mice trauma)
Perhaps I judged you a bit too early and seeing that you understand the rudimentary elements of this Japanese Cheese thoery I encourage you to develop this pratice or at least explore it a bit more. and Indeed ill b looking forward to collaborating data In Switzerland. I also retract my statement about tentacles because you're right the Japanese just wanna get get frisky with tentacles.
I admit that I deceived you a bit as to my ignorance of Doraemon induced dream studies. It was merely an attempt to vet you. We are clearly, two intellectuals, but your Japanese Tentacle Hentai theory is forced at best.
Buzz Aldrin could NOT have been eating Moon Feta and claimed it was great "right off the crater". It's obviously Gouda...
Are you going to throw some Moon Pita and Moon George Foreman Grill out there in a desperate attempt to explain this inconsistency?
Gouda...
Good ol Buzz Aldrin, unfortunately he cant tell his Gouda from his Feta, or his Stilton from his Cheddar (who would've thought?!) a great guy, but a complete cheese buffoon. Perfect for NASA and spreading their cheese misinformation, I know its hard not to believe him because he is quite a convincing fellow. but this is why I stick to my own research and stick to hard facts like Doraemon and the space mice.
shareWell, the Moon Pita Theory has been unequivocally refuted across the scienitfic board - nevertheless Goudaists like yourself try to link the Feta Theory to this bologna in a very clumsy (and obvious, if I may add) attempt to discredit us Fetaites.
However, how do you account for the findings of the Grecheskiy Salat mission (google if you must - and may I point out it was you who brought the 'Aldrin Conundrum' into this discussion)? Of course, you will rebut that 'officially' the Soviet lunar programs have been terminated in 1974 - how very convenient, but the data exists! Since 1990 the world has access to those files, it is just thanks to the Goudaists and their lobby that these results never will make it into mainstream selenology!
Are you afraid somebody is shaking the foundations of your ivory tower? How long do you intend to continue shoving that Gouda down our throats...?
Not so. The moon's surface on the side facing Earth consists of part Kale, part Sage Derby and part Schabziger - all various shades of green. You could be correct about the far side, however.
shareThe far side of the Moon, sometimes called the "dark side of the Moon" in the sense that it is in a radio blackout in respect to transmitters on Earth,is the lunar hemisphere that is permanently turned away, and not visible from the surface of the Earth.
In other words; they're one and the same. It's dark in the sense that we don't see it from earth.
Oooooohhhh...
We are supposed to swallow this propaganda like a block of cheddar-jack and wheat thins? Sorry, it doesn't sit well with ANYBODY. The cheddar-jack wheat thins nor your moon propaganda...
Ridiculous theory!! Radio blackout called dark side of the moon pfffft! where do they get these guys. Just like a cheddar jack and wheat thins so eloquently put.
shareWell actually, there is no spot on the surface of the moon that remains dark for more than 14.5 days.
and thus goes another left behind child...
"in this world there's two kinds of people ... those with loaded guns, and those who dig."
What's with you? Does this movie makes you wet? Are you deliberately trolling me? Or you are just that keen to prove your own dumbness?
My job is to watch stupid movies and complain about them on IMDBshare
Except for the bottoms of some craters at the poles...
sharethanks mr state the obvious. you gonna tell us the sky is blue next?
"in this world there's two kinds of people ... those with loaded guns, and those who dig."
It wasn't either the "far/dark side of the moon".
The landing site was at the south pole, and polar lunar craters can be shadowed all the time.
E.g.: "Ice may lurk in shadows beyond Moon's poles"
http://www.nature.com/news/ice-may-lurk-in-shadows-beyond-moon-s-poles -1.11501
But it was silly that the astronauts immediately felt cold when they went into the dark crater. They were in a vacuum. It takes a long time to cool off in a vacuum. Actually the biggest problem in space is getting rid of heat.
