Tide goes in, tide goes out. No miscommunication.


Yes but last I checked when the tide went out it doesn't go out to the moon and push it a little bit, so blaming the tide is nonsensical at best. If you want to make a one line quip about it. It would be more accurate to say it is because the Earth spins faster than the moon revolves around the Earth. After all once the Earth stops spinning faster than the moon revolves there will still be a tide but the moon will stop moving away from the Earth.


say no more... wait. say more.
