Oh dear do I have to repeat myself. I am asking for someone to explain this variable gravity theory of tides. If you can, fine, please do. If you can't I'll continue to wait.
I can't help you with that. But while you're waiting, seeing as you wrote:
Oh dear, he has stuffed up on his altitude dependent gravity.
Please feel free to explain what he has got wrong. This is the Tech Log forum, so opinions require explanation, otherwise it defeats the purpose
