By analyzing the forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun at any location on the Earth’s surface, one can notice that the graph depicting these forces on the oceans is different from the pattern of the tides. This discrepancy led me to propose that the cause of the tides is different from what is currently assumed.

Further considerations led to the formulation of hypotheses, the justifications of which are presented in the booklet entitled “Unknown Earth – unknown hypotheses” (available on the website https://amzn.to/4dPba3s).

In the booklet, I present the following hypotheses:

1. The Earth’s inner core is not spherical, but is elongated in shape.
2. The longitudinal inner core of the Earth rotates relative to the surface of the Earth in accordance with the position of the Moon.
3. The direct cause of ocean tides is not the Moon’s gravity, but the changes in gravity caused by the motion of the inner core relative to the Earth’s surface.
4. The cause of spring and neap tides is not the summation of the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun depending on the Moon’s phase, but rather the cyclical changes in the Moon’s declination in periods of 27 days, which lead to changes in the tilt of the Earth’s inner core relative to the equatorial plane, resulting in variations in the amplitudes of local gravitational changes.
5. There is a lead of the core’s declination before the Moon reaches that declination, changing in the range of approximately 36 – 48 hours.
6. The Earth’s inner core is surrounded by a fluid mass of similar density.
7. The source of heat inside the Earth is tidal heating inside the planet.
8. The outer core of the Earth is flattened to some extent on the northern and southern sides.
9. The slight flattening of the Earth at the poles is the result of the flattening of the Earth’s outer core.
10. The rise in Earth’s temperature during periods of increased tilt of its axis to the ecliptic is caused by increased friction of the elongated inner core against the northern and southern inner walls of the Earth’s mantle during greater extreme lunar declinations, which result in greater maximum tilts of the elongated inner core relative to the equatorial plane.
11. The end of the era of global glaciation was caused by the friction of the longitudinal inner core against the deepened solidified Earth’s mantle, resulting in increased Earth’s temperature and enhanced eruptions of volcanoes emitting carbon dioxide.
12. The extension of the day observed for approximately 600 million years was caused by the cooling of the Earth’s mantle, which reached near the ends of the longitudinal inner core during the global glaciations that occurred directly previously.
13. The synchronous rotation of moons is caused by an anchored elongated inner core within them.
14. Iron nuggets are the seeds of celestial bodies.
15. At least some deep earthquakes are caused by the friction (directly or indirectly) of the longitudinal inner core against the Earth’s mantle. Deep earthquakes occur more frequently during large lunar declinations.
