IT DOES NOT DIRECTLY ONLY INDIRECTLY....i covered this extensivly in most of my post concerning tides and gravitaional modeling.......That is and has been my point all along! .I keep brining this up!! UHRAY!!!!:)..I?m so glad finally someone else sees this issue too....further, the tides are one of the major resons why i model grav as a vibration for the Alis affect shows that position of sun moon has relationship to grav on earth but tides demonstrate that they are not directly related due to the whole satilite issues as well as atmospere. However, in vibrational gravity the positions of CB's will affect the vibrational wave..........In short the tides are caused by the squeezing effect of the grav vibration that is to say that there is no additional or absence of grav force only a uneven squeezing effect that is a result in part due to sun moon/ background stars positioning.(Alias effect proves this) A vibration is the only known physical explanation that can account for that effect while producing a non detectable grav force in all of its anomalies.. which are not anomalies but rather clear indicators that grav is a vibration of aether waves?.. no other known physical construct could account for all those things??NOTE: and this is the short version Neville Jones <njones@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: All, It is widely accepted, although not by me, that the Moon causes the tides. It is also widely accepted, although not by me, that there exists a zero-gravity point situated somewhere between the World and Moon. My question is this: If the ocean were situated at the zero-gravity point, then there would be no tide. Closer to the World the pull of the World is stronger. Closer to the Moon the pull of the Moon is stronger. The net effect this side of the zero-gravity point is always a positive pull by the World. Since this is equivalent to a force of gravity that produces a stronger pull as we take the oceans further this side of the zero-gravity point, then how does the Moon produce the tides?
