Hurrdurr the moon wouldn't be any different if it was hollow from the begining. So all you idiots saying "OH WE WOULD KNOW IF IT WAS HOLLOW CUS ITD BE DIFFERENT FROM WHAT IT WAS HURRDURR" if it was always hollow wtf is going to be different?

Anyways it'd be cool if it was some sort of alien life space ship thinga majig, but I doubt it. I'll just wait and see though and stop giving a fuck for now.

Do you even have the slightest clue how masses of moons/planets are determined? If you don't I suggest you look into that, this doesn't make you look a lot smarter.

Maybe this helps. If the moon would have a different mass, the distance or its angular velocity would be bigger. It doesn't matter at all how long it has been this way, just the mass and with that the distance or the angular velocity would be different. And if you see a pretty huge moon with a very small mass, it gets obvious somethings off.
Also, don't start with the "the shell would be dense". If it would be dense, the angular momentum would be way off.

Obviously if moon people that made that giant moon space station death star wanted to live on it, they wouldn't hallow it out completely like you're saying. It'd be partially hallow, but moon men still need walls and privacy and etc. If they're some advanced civilization they probably already know how to do w/e so that it stays how it is. Also, so say they make the shell really dense they use their invisible thruster technology to keep the moon how it is, and seemingly normal to us puny earthlings.

Gg reading. Angular momentum is both depended on the mass, and the distribution of the mass. Also, if the shell would be as dense so it would cover up the loss of mass due to hollowing it out, then the shell wouldn't be able to support it's own weight. Read suomynona's post, it's a good read.
