Re: Nutation



Jim,

is

where we are supposed to see a picture of the water? If so which diagram
are you referring to; or are referring generically to all the diagrams on
that web page?

What evidence do you have that there
is no such thing as a "tidal bulge"?

All of my books indicate otherwise.

Your books and Newton are wrong -- So is David Bowman --
although he is in
good company.

The bulge you see in books is a map of the resultant force
field not the
water. For a picture of the water see my web page. There is no
bulge. The water surface is far to disturbed.
