Brilliant, thank you. The killer part of this video is quantifying the effects of the standard tidal force lift/stretch explanation. They are tiny: around 1 m

Brilliant, thank you. The killer part of this video is quantifying the effects of the standard tidal force lift/stretch explanation. They are tiny: around 1 micro-g. Compare this with the total hydraulic pressure of tidal forces on a perfect global ocean predicting a 75cm tide (which, on Earth, is amplified by the coastlines of the continents.)
