Sharpest view we have of how gravity varies across the Earth.

I've seen shows on television where physicists say that space is causing gravity by pushing on bodies, instead of the bodies exerting a force.

Do we really know what gravity is?

I wonder if this is why we have different ranges with the tides through the world?

I've always been intrigued with the tide. Here in south Louisiana a large rage would be 6" where as someplace else it can be several feet.

They say the closer you get t the equator the less range you will get. Not sure how true that is because the mangrove marsh in Florida gets several feet at a time and they are closer to the equator then us.
