If the sun exerts so much gravitational force on the Earth, then why isn't it always high tide during the day? Check mate, heliocentrist!

Tides are to do with the difference of the Moon's gravity on the near and far side of the earth being significantly different from the average across Earth. Also the gravity on the sides of the earth being different too. Which is why there are two high and two low tides at any one point on Earth (theoretically). Although the Earth-Sun gravity is stronger, it is that the difference between the two sides of the Earth is far bigger in the Moon-Earth gravity, due to the Moon being smaller and nearer, and so the distances between the Earth's surface is much different.

I've never understood why school books don't explain tides on Earth properly.

As can be imagined, if in your fantasy world, your Earth is a flat world and the moon is just a rent in the magical fabric of the universe or whatever none of this matters anyways.

It's too dangerous to let the dogs drive?

Happy Star Trek day!!! May the 4th be with all of you!!!


Just created an account. I need to make a first post about something

Does anyone else like both, Star Trek & Star Wars, pretty equally?
I have always found it weird that you're supposed to chose one to like and not like...

They're both set in space, but their tone & themes are different... Why does one have to chose?

Star Wars is too cartoony and emo for me; i'd go as far as to say it's a (tele)novela.
i don't think it's a matter of choice but of appeal.

Both Star Wars and Star Trek are interesting universes. In both of those there are plenty of good stories and plenty of bad ones told. I would overall say that I like Star Wars more than Star Trek due to the computer games being much better.

Are you allowed to dislike both? If so, I don't see why you can't like both.

I like both, but I'm not passionate about either. I think the people that tend to Love/Hate are those that are super passionate about one.


That's where I sit.
Depends on my mood...

What are the odds my apartments parking garage collapses? ITs a 4 story apartment ontop of two stories of parking. The second story clearly has dips in it from where cars have driven. How worried should I be that I am going to park and my car is just going to fall through

Which cultures celebrated cross-dressing?

Something I've been wondering: in what context can the sentence: "I'll tell your grandmother", be considered threatening?
