Tides Explained with Simulations

The video explains the concept of tides using simulations, addressing common misconceptions about tidal bulges. It explores the gravitational forces exerted by the moon on Earth, both horizontally and vertically, and how these forces create tidal bulges. The video also touches on the effects of tidal forces near black holes and the real-world complexities of tides, including the influence of the sun. The presentation concludes with a call for support through Patreon.
