This book explores the problem of tides and the force that creates them. Sir Isaac Newton suggested in his Principia that the tides were caused by the Moon's gravitational pull, but this book argues that Newton's original theory was incorrect. The author proposes an alternative theory regarding the origin of tides, and then presents detailed calculations to support it. Historical examples are used to show how this new theory better explains tidal patterns than Newton's original theory. The author concludes by discussing how this theory could lead to new insights into predicting and understanding tides.
