If the Earths Oceanic tides are caused by the Earth's "wobbles"

To what degree does the Earth wobble?
What causes it?
What is the wobble frequency?
How is this used predictively to forecast tides ?
What evidence is there of these wobbles (please don't say tides)

?

The wobble frequency would HAVE to be the same as the tides. We see two tides per day (low and high).
Another reason why the FE model has more holes in it than swiss cheese.

Actually JesusReborn you can and do have substantially more than 2 tides a day, tides both Oceanic and Terrestrial tides are very interesting.
It seems that they are most often explained via mainstream physics though.
I'm interested in a FE explanation.

You're definitely correct on the tides. But, the two main ones observed daily all around the world are what I meant... and that's really only what they thought about (I think) when the FE model was made.

i have another question concerning this "wobble"

i know it is undetermined how thick the earth is, but it's definitely several miles thick at least because we have dug mines down that far (TauTona - 3.5 kms deep), we have visited the mariana trench (11 kms down) at the bottom of the pacific, and there exists earthquakes, volcanos, etc.

on a perfect cylinder, the centroid (aka center of mass) happens to be at the exact middle of the circle that forms the base, exactly halfway down the cylinder. so, when the cylinder of an earth wobbles, the ENTIRE thing wobbles, thus the centroid moves with it, and there's really no reason for the water to fall to one side or the other. tides on earth on not caused by the earth's movement because the water's placement relative to the earth's centroid never changes. tides can ONLY be caused by exterior forces, in this case that gravity one you don't believe in from the sun and the moon.

...unless you are suggesting our pillar of earth is motionless and only the surface wobbles? which doesn't make any sense at all.

You mean like the UA?

You're making elementary mistakes, koji. Have you ever visited the Marianas Trench? Maybe it doesn't exist at all...
The earth isn't flat...it's "spherically challenged".

no but some people have...and fine, the point still stands whether it's 12 miles or 1 mile thick.

If I understand Tom's UA theory well enough then the tides can be caused by the moon still.  I think his theory is that everything is accelerating up, everything creates a gravitational field as a result.  I really don't know anymore, I get more confused the longer I stay here.
OMG!

Read my, "Analemma Tom" thread. Afew posts down it goes into how the tides are created and such, and it has nothing to do with the tilting of the earth.

Edit:  Or should I say wobble?
