And most of all, the use of centrifugal force in my explanation. The tides are in angular acceleration as these follow the moon, as is the moon in acceleration, but at a different rate in its elliptical orbit. These and the geological features of the earth upon which the tides are measured, because of the daily rotation and orbit of the earth, are all in different non- inertial frames of reference. With the exception of one responder, all the critics of my original post have placed all in the same inertial frame of reference, and looked upon the tides, earth, and moon as in the same state of constant velocity. GR does not change the basic properties of gravity from that of Newtonian mechanics.
Gravity still originates from mass, and the gravitational field of a mass is towards the mass.
In the frame of reference of the seashore where the tides are measured, the seas are moving up and down very slowly, and is measured in feet. And there are usually two high tides daily, usually of different heights. The sun and moon rise in the east and set in the west once a day, but their relationship to one another is constantly changing. The geological features are moving from the WEST to the EAST at about 1000 mph, on the surface of the earth. The moon cycles slowly closer and farther once a lunar month, but stays in the same general spot in the sky.
