See never adequately explained what this resisting medium was supposed to be possibly tiny particles of matter.

托马斯·希从来没有充分解释假设的阻尼介质是不是细小的物质粒子。

His idea was that there is something that he called the resisting medium in outer space, which we know is not there now.

他提出在外太空存在他称之为阻尼介质的东西，其实我们现在知道那并不存在。

On the other hand the notion that Earth gravity could capture and retain such a large object was unlikely, since there is no obvious resisting medium to slows down an object as big as the Moon.

另一方面所谓的地球引力捕获和保留如此大的物体是不可能的，这是因为显然没有阻尼介质把月球这么大的物体的速度降下来。
