This is nearly as bizarre as flat earth stuff, honestly.

Well said TS.
The post you replied to is literally denying physics as we know it.

With time the angular momentum dissipates and things slow down and get farther away on an enormous time scale.
It's the case with the earth and moon system and earth and sun.
The solar year and the lunar month are getting longer by a tiny fraction of a second with each cycle.
