Foreword.
When examining the behaviour of the ocean tides, sometimes one is confronted with facts which, on first take, seem to defy our common sense, though, eventually, may help us to understand the implicit mechanism.
As a partial integration of what has been already said, along this chapter, in very short pages, I propose to the reader to consider six hard facts, which should be taken as constraints when formulating a theory on the ocean tides.
The six constraints in question have been inferred from the analysis of at least 25 issues concerning the behaviour of the ocean tides.
Then, in chapter six, I will be proposing how the ocean tides would work, in agreement with all the six constraints.
#01 - Action of the Moon and the Sun.
Constraint #1.
.1 From their time tables, we rightly infer that the ocean tides are due to the action of the Moon and the Sun, and that the former plays the larger role (Sun 1; Moon 2,19 on average).
