Do you believe this? Scientists believe that?

Scientists believe that, due to recent occurrences with the moon, tides will be twice as high as normal this week in Delaware.

To be honest, I just think it's lunar sea

    Yes. The current alignment of the planets causes the tides to be higher. If you look at the current alignment of the moon, Earth, sun, Saturn, and Jupiter they all line up. The additional gravitational pull of the aligned planets do have an effect on earth’s tides. There is a name for this phenomenon, but it eludes me. If anyone knows the what the phenomenon is called, please let me know.

    Is that what they teach in Hogwarts? Just kidding.

    The scientists should have their basis. Since they are scientists. Otherwise, they are just theories...same as yours. That depends, maybe. Maybe you're right, maybe the nerds are wrong. If you have your basis, you could be right and you could tell that to the others. People might believe more in you.

    Source(s): I guess, it needs more studying for the nerds?????

    They were higher than I've ever seen them in Oregon about two or three weeks ago. They even made it to the wall of the turnaround, which is a long stretch of sand to pass up.

    Scientists don't 'believe' anything.

    Bad joke, BTW.

    What "scientists"? The same ones that said that Mars at its closest would appear in the sky even bigger than the moon?
