no sources on either side

The claim that a rigid rope connecting the Earth and the Moon would snap under tremendous gravitational and tidal forces is a matter of basic physics and mechanics, requiring no specialized research papers for verification.

The analysis

The provided retrieved papers deal with completely unrelated topics such as Hamiltonian mechanics for libration points, microgravity impacts on gene regulation, fungal genera, 3D concrete printing, biomimetic design, additive manufacturing, perovskite solar cells, thermal analysis conferences, GPS orbital mechanics, lunar satellite orbits, triboelectric nanogenerators, and cable joints. None of the papers evaluate a physical tether between the Earth and the Moon. However, the claim itself is a straightforward physical deduction regarding tensile strength versus tidal and gravitational gradients in orbital mechanics, making it common knowledge or a matter of direct physical calculation that does not need a specific academic citation.
