Basic physics says no to this.
A hollow moon in the current orbital path and speed would shoot off in to
space.
And how could a hollow moon create tidal effects here on earth?

I think a hollow moon, with the same mass (and it's density would have
to be enormous, so there are other physical constraints that just
don't work as well), would still cause tides.

Anyway, the moon isn't hollow, it's just another demonstration of the
mental gymnastics nitwits will go through rather than think
critically.

While you are soaking in your vat Carl, here is a little light reading for

you.

The Hollow Moon

"A theory that suggests that the moon is a large hollow

sphere...originated during

seismological tests on the moon following the Lunar landings.

This occured most notably in November 1969 after seismometers were set up

on the

moons surface by the astronauts of Apollo XII. When the Lunar module had

taken off,

heading back to earth the astronauts discarded the ascent stage of the

lunar module,

dropping it on the moons surface, smashing the craft and creating a tremor

that was

picked up by the seismometers and when the NASA scientists heard the data

stream,

they couldn't believe what they were hearing. The moon was ringing like a

bell and

continued to do so for around an hour.

After they had had a chance to analyse the seismological information, NASA

declared

that the moon seemed to be a hollow sphere with a metallic layer around

34-40 metres

deep."
