The visualization made it so much easier to understand lol

[shawn]

Thank you Neil. Now instead of “tides coming in” I’m gonna start saying “our geographical location is rotating into a high tide bulge” 👍🏻

great pickup line, "are you the moon, cuz you got me rotating into a high tide bulge."

He’s like “ then proceeds to not understand 😂

An auto mechanic once told me that the a/c doesn’t cool, it removes the heat .

Just to be clear, the water is *also* moving in and out of the tide (it follows the solid Earth). Its the *shape* that stays.

I love it - I love travelling through space and time when I drive - and this is the proof that we are - now I'm going to enjoy my days even more cause I'm travelling through space and time ♥️☮️♥️

I'm 59 years old and just learning this. Damn, I wish I had teachers like Neil

I just spoke to a crab, and he said, "It doesn't really matter, just love each other, and we will all be fine" 🦀 ✌🏽

This messed with my mind bc I keep imagining that the water should then wash over the cities. Why would it sway back and forth only a few meters if the world is turning completely.

[buckerooney]

Fuck, that has just blown my mind. 50 years old and never thought of that

[Dylan-qtnr]

Don't forget that it's not just earth that's spinning, the moon isn't a fixed object, it's orbiting us which causes the spring tide and a neep tide. Tide times change forward an hour everyday and one of the day there's a slack tide where the sea isn't moving. Tide is more about the Moon than what the earth is doing.

[John-stq]

So that is just why the tides are at different levels. As the moon is not in the same point each night.

I’m 94 and and just hearing this for the 1st time

Can't believe at 821 years old I'm only JUST learning this. Cheers Neil
