from Wikipedia: Tides may be semidiurnal (two high waters and two low waters each day), or diurnal (one tidal cycle per day). In most locations, tides are semidiurnal. Because of the diurnal contribution, there is a difference in height (the daily inequality) between the two high waters on a given day; these are differentiated as the higher high water and the lower high water in tide tables. Similarly, the two low waters each day are referred to as the higher low water and the lower low water. The daily inequality changes with time and is generally small when the Moon is over the equator. Allen Daves <allendaves@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: 1.

If I am not mistaken, every time this experiment has been repeated, this 'smaller component' just keeps on getting smaller. Sounds a lot like measurement error to me. "It should pull us toward the Sun and then away from the Sun. Would we feel any of this?" I have only once seen a comment on the Earth/Moon barycentre -- it was quoted as being located some tens of kilometres below the Earth's surface. If we do approach/retreat from the Sun, then it is only about one part in 11000 of its average distance. Any effect would be difficult to measure.

Experiments by Michelson-Morley, Dayton Miller, Sagnac et al., definitely showed a sidereal rotation of either the World, the universe or both. What upset conventional science at the turn of the 19th century and start of the 20th was the fact that Michelson-Morley, Michelson-Gale and so on did not produce evidence of the World's supposed phenomenal speed around its alleged orbit, but did produce evidence of a much smaller component of motion. So, let's see if we can get a discussion going like the one that raged for months on the celestial poles argument, which involved almost everybody and produced many quality diagrams and lines of reasoning. The Moon goes around the World in both models approximately in the plane of the ecliptic. Hence the Moon's gravity should accelerate the World during part of its orbit and inhibit the World during that part of its orbit that is 180 degs out of phase with the first. It should pull us toward the Sun and then away from the Sun. Would we feel any of this? Diagrams, comments, thoughts, one-way tickets to the Gulag, ... toss them all into the pot and let's see what comes out.
