I often Wondered If the Ocean Tides could
act as a kind of "Systolic??" Pump moving or
compressing the atmosphere ahead of the
oceanic bulges ??
In the world of medicine they have
these funny kind of pumps
which undulate similar to the
ocean tidal bulge. The infuse things
into your body at very fine rates
ans used in the ER to pump your blood
while cutting into your heart
or whatever.
