If a werewolf was on the moon, would that mean they're a wolf ALL THE TIME??!?!???

I would say no, only when there was a "full earth" if you will

it's always a full earth, because that side always faces the earth because it's tidaly locked. HMMMmmm

but we are between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow over it.
Or summat...

blocking the moon from the light of the sun
this making it dark, and not possible to see the earth from the moon
I'm not 100% sure on this, hence the question mark in my original post
edit: my post wasn't disputing that the same side of the moon is always facing Earth. I know that's true

I waded in on a subject about which I know nothing.
However, as this is taking place online I feel I should defend my point TO THE DEATH

mine is right. It's moonlight. Moonlight is well known for making people mad (or turning them to wolves, whatever), lunacy and all that.

just like light from Mercury makes quicksilver/mercury and light from Mars makes Iron (I can't remember the rest).

and looked at images, it appeared to have phases in the pics. I don't really know for sure.

so it depends on it being day on the moon.

What would happen first on the other end? Does that mean that it has moved faster than the speed of light? Does it mean that it's impossible for anything to be a lightyear across?

What would happen is that at about the speed of light there will be a compression wave moving along the tube. Think of it as a slinky but not visible. That moves at pretty much the speed of light depending on the material and so the light and the movement of the tube will move at very similar times. Light should beat it though because there is no slowdown.
