Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book dissects and explains one of the most common natural occurrences on our planet - the ebb and flow of the sea. Following in the footsteps of Newton, the author examines the established theory of tides being caused by the moon and sun's direct gravitational pull. However, he of…fers a controversial and novel theory based on a lateral gravitational effect, which is presented in opposition to the established 'falling' doctrine. Using simple diagrams and accessible language, the book presents a clear and understandable argument that runs counter to prevailing knowledge. The author dissects commonly accepted 'facts' about the phenomenon of tides, such as the equator having the highest tidal range and that tides only follow the moon. He even challenges the laws of motion and universal gravitation, proposing alternative explanations for how the oceans are set in motion. Thought-provoking and captivating, this book is a must-read for both academics and anyone interested in the workings of our oceans.
