Introduction to cumulative-dissipative processes in water and the tidal phenomenon, according to my interpretation.
After highlighting the five points related to the current tidal theory in itinerary #2.2, I will advance an alternative hypothesis on the tidal phenomenon, one that is much simpler and more "elegant."
According to my hypothesis—which, of course, requires confirmation by other researchers—the tides are due to processes generated by motion relative to other matter, as occurs in cumulative-dissipative processes in seeds, where the effect diminishes with the cube of the distance.
With important differences in behavior, due to the degree of mobility of water molecules compared to that of seed molecules.
At this stage, for simplicity's sake, I have arbitrarily focused on the effects of motion relative to the Moon, because they are stronger.
When we want to communicate a new idea.
Jean Fourastié said that when we want to communicate a new idea, it must fit harmoniously into previous ideas' baggage, as if it were only a corollary, or a special case. This is a useful recommendation in most cases.
But not when fundamental inconsistencies burden the theory on the subject under discussion. Not when you understand that you have to start from a completely different point of view.
As it happens in the current theory on tides, when they tell you that they are mainly due to the attraction exerted by the Moon, even if this attraction is infinitesimal, compared to that exerted by the Earth on its waters.
Rather than say “we don’t know”.
When the culprit of a crime is not found, sometimes an innocent person is condemned, even in the presence of inconsistencies, fixing things as best they can, in practice adapting them to the least worst.
This is what happened in the case of the tidal theory. Not finding the true cause of the phenomenon, instead of admitting that they did not know, they preferred to state that - in the case of tides - the horizontal component of the attraction must be considered.
Based on what has been said.
Based on what has been said up to this point, I would rule out attraction as the cause of the tides, finding myself free to propose an alternative hypothesis, corroborated by evidence.
Like seeds, even water can regenerate, keeping its entropy low, thanks to its movement with respect to other matter, and consequent cumulative-dissipative processes, as can happen in water purification plants, where it is set in motion for its regeneration.
Gathering of evidence.
In this research, in order to prove that water also uses cumulative-dissipative processes, I had to keep in mind the difference between how it happens in seeds (still relative to the surrounding matter), and how instead it happens in liquid water (molcules in motion).
In this regard, I had to see if also in water some perceptible effect could take place, caused by the movement of the Moon, showing two of the peculiarities of the cumulative dissipative processes: (1) that they are activated by the movement with respect to other matter, (2) at critical angular velocities, therefore only during brief episodes of interaction, as I had seen in the seeds.
In seeds, at critical angular velocities.
In the seeds still on the ground, all molecules move at the same angular velocity with regard to the Moon. When this happens at a critical angular velocity, the processes, either cumulative or dissipative, can take place in large numbers, but in distinct periods, for the reasons already stated.
In seeds, when stationary on the ground, the cumulative processes take place only in the periods b-c and d-a as shown in the calendar, while the dissipative processes take place only in the periods a-b and c-d.
In water, when the cumulative-dissipative processes are not evident.
Liquid water, on the other hand, is composed of groups of moving molecules, with two consequent characteristics of this movement.
The first is that water is not subject to the separation of cumulative-dissipative processes into two long periods, as occurs in seeds.
The second is that in liquid water, the various molecules rarely move in coordination with each other.
The consequence of the second characteristic is that the two cumulative-dissipative processes usually remain hidden, because they are rarely carried out in a coordinated manner among a large group of molecules.
Only if many molecules carry out the two cumulative-dissipative processes in a coordinated manner do they reveal themselves to be subject to these processes.
Only the final result.
Usually, we can only understand the overall final result indirectly, whether the water is increasing or decreasing in volume (toward high or low tide), based on the flow of water from one place to another.
On the next page, we'll see when the alternation between the two phases becomes apparent. We'll be surprised by the difference in volume that the water takes on in the two phases.
Ultimately, this phenomenon can occur under the following conditions: (1) when the movement of non-standing water is very reduced; and (2) when the Moon's motion moves at a critical angular velocity, relative to many water molecules, for a prolonged time (almost always only at points a, b, c, d).
