The new European Space Agency satellite was launched on 17th March 2009. I predict that the ocean tides due to the sun's gravity will be shown to be slowly increasing in strength year by year. The mid-ocean will be getting colder, despite the sea surface temperatures still getting warmer. This is due to the notion of increasing tidal strength causing turbulance of the deep-ocean bottom water. I have deduced that the sun's gravity is stronger towards the invariable plane (the plane of angular momentum of the solar system, roughly equal to the orbit of Jupiter). This extreme tidal explanation is the mechanism which causes the Earth's ice ages, based on a 100,000 year inclination cycle of the Earth drifting above and below the invariable plane. I also predict that the satellite will detect the gravitational bulging by the innermost core, thereby falsifying the equivalence principle.
