F= mr omega^2. The distance from the barycenter to all points on earth
is NOT the same.



As the site expalins in the next paragraph, only the center of the Earth rotates
around the barycenter. Other points rotate around neighboring points.


Anyway, the site clearly shows in Fig. 2 that it is the
_DIFFERENCE_ between gravity and centrifugal force that makes the tides,
not gravity alone.



We never disagreed on this point.



HOLY BACKPEDAL!!!!!!

Cheers
