Ok, It's taken me a long time to figure out just how I want to approach this. 1) the water shifting side to side - how do you think this happens if not from the gravitational pull of (...)

The sea monkey explanation was a good one too, just not the right one. IMO. (...) The (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space, FTX)

Pendulums don't work in the absence of gravity, and they really only work with the largest gravitic pull from their location, whether it be from a single source or closely clustered combined sources. The moon exerts the largest gravitic pull (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space, FTX)
