Every single day, the oceans of the world go through a cycle with two high tides and two low tides.

For thousands of years, no one knew why the tides rose and fell, and even today, most people only have a vague idea of what drives the tides.

They dictate the lives of many people who live near the sea, and we might even be able to harness their power in the future.

Learn more about how tides work, and why it is more complicated than you probably think, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
