toAm I wrong in thinking that the usual attribution of TWO tidal bulges is
revolvesNewton? And he did this by recognizing that the Moon/Earth system
about the mutual center of mass. This is certainly the presentation in
various physics texts. But I don't find these thoughts in the Principia.
Can the list help?

It has been my impression that Newton did not understand that his theory
predicts two tides. I have not read the Principia.
