Quote: Even if one can momentarily lock one?s brain into conceiving of a delicate balance between the Earth and the Moon?s gravitational forces, a balance that would be achieved by the most precise, exact and unvarying distance between the two bodies, then that same brain is boggled when it is confronted with the fact that no such stable distance exists between these two bodies (or any other two!). Indeed, the undeniable reality is that the moon regularly varies its distance from the Earth by over 31,000 miles! When it comes closer and closer it gets in the stronger and stronger pull of Earth?s gravity. How can it then resist that pull and start going against that attraction? Contrariwise, as it goes out to the apogee and is moment by moment breaking loose from Earth?s gravitational pull at tremendous speed, how can it stop the outward movement and start back?? Gravity doesn?t explain this. Gravity can?t explain it. Gravity doesn?t explain the tides. Gravity can?t explain them. The same is true of the Earth?s supposed annual orbit around the sun. The simple fact is that we are closer by three million miles to the sun at certain times than we are at other times. The gravitation explanation for heavenly bodies doing what they do has no scientific evidence whatsoever behind it. It is pure nonsense from A to Z, a contradictory, illogical, impossible notion perpetrated upon the world by You Know Who to discredit the Bible. Indeed, universal gravitation is a bankrupt and stupid hypothesis incapable of explaining tides( just the same as Darwin?s "natural selection" mechanism is now being recognized as a bankrupt and stupid hypothesis that is incapable of explaining evolutionism).

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.
