The question is in form of maths. When a value is obviously many orders of magnitude greater than a smaller calculation, it is not necessary to try to determine that value to any degree of accuracy. An understanding of the problem is. Do you accept that there is a discrepancy in that 150lb of seawater is raised against the Earth's gravity by around 0.1m, whilst that of 150lb of water on land (i.e. a person) is not raised at all?

Why don't everyday objects attract one another then? Even in a vacuum?
Professor Brain Cox of CERN and TV fame has expressed his concern that a fundamental flaw in our understanding of gravity seems increasingly likely, especially if the results of the forthcoming LHC experiment turn out to be unexpected. I am convinced that I have found the stumbling block of modern physics:
The OBVIOUS reason of how the moon causes the ocean tides is by it pulling on the Earth's inner core, creating a flexure of the lithosphere, rather than acting on the seawater directly itself. Hence Newton's law of universal gravitation must be wrong. Once you get the simple picture in your head, there's no going back. You'll never look at the sea the same again.
Modern satellite technology has shown that the seafloor rises by about a meter. The mountains and ocean are also seen to be affected by the moon's gravitational influence, but NOTHING ELSE. It explains why it doesn't get windier on a high tide and why dust isn't affected by the moon's gravity for example.

...OBVIOUS.....NOTHING ELSE...
#15: 10 points for each statement along the lines of "I'm not good at math, but my theory is conceptually right, so all I need is for someone to express it in terms of equations".
#22: 20 points for each favorable comparison of yourself to Newton or claim that classical mechanics is fundamentally misguided (without good evidence).
#23: 20 points for every use of science fiction works or myths as if they were fact.
I'm proposing that there is dark matter at the center of the Earth, the Moon and the Sun. The Earth's surface gravity of 9.8m/s/s is only for baryonic (everyday) matter. It is much greater for dark matter. Therefore the weights of the Earth and the Moon are much higher than their current calculated values. A Core-Centered Theory of Gravity predicts a giant comet near-miss event around 40,000 years ago which resulted in the flexure of the lithosphere between Siberia and Australasia. The resultant land bridge across the Pacific ocean allowed the peopling of Australia and the American continent from the south west.
Give that a go.
My evidence for the maths is the Missing Mass Problem of cosmology. A theory of dark matter existing at the center of the Earth, the Moon and the Stars would explain this perfectly.
References for the hypothesis that a temporary land bridge existed between the American continent and Australasia due to a giant comet near-miss pulling on the Earth's inner core of dark matter around 40,000 B.P are:

Your just too negative to understand. The answer to your question is as plain as day. See above and think about it. Don't just react in a hysterical manner.

I'm a simulation modeller. I scored 98% for maths in my first year at university and was awarded joint award for Best Student for my discipline, out of around 300+ people.
When people keep saying "where's the maths", it just means that they're unable to perform lateral thinking. See "Would We Notice If DM Was At The Center Of The Earth" in the Astronomy section.
For people with lateral thinking only:
I have recently deduced that dark matter (DM) exists at the center of the Earth, the Moon and the stars. This would mean that calculations of their masses would all be underestimates. This makes it a possible solution for the Missing Mass Problem. The only way to justify this view would be it's ability to model galaxy behaviour. Something which I'm working on.
I have a knowledge about the actual mechanism of gravity. This gives me the edge in thinking about how the gravity of DM is different to that of ordinary matter. An obvious big difference is that DM gravity is highly directional. It is much higher in the ecliptic plane of a star compared to that of it's spin axis. This is the reason that most galaxy disc shapes are maintained over their lifetime of billions of years, in my opinion.

Well... either that or the biggest CRACKPOT of all time.:bugeye:
(And I strongly suspect the latter.)
