    Because the moon is also pulling the Earth as well as the water. When the moon is directly beneath your feet, the Earth is being pulled stronger than on the water, and a high tide occurs.

    Tides, tides, not waves. and wind is not the only cause of waves.

    So don't worry, you're not Einstien.

    I have completely fallen in love with MinutePhysics

    I'm learning more in these short videos than I ever did in high school physics classes!

    I feel like this entire video was used as a means to use that horrible pun at the end of the video. Lol.

    You said that the high tide on the far side of the moon is caused by the moon's gravity being less at the far side than the center. So explain how this difference in gravity causes the high tide at the far side of the earth.

    And how do you know his explanation is incorrect?
