Force = mass x acceleration (Newton's law)

The acceleration caused by the moon's gravitational pull is the same for
your
head and the Atlantic ocean, yet the masses are very very different. So
the
*force* on the Atlantic is billions of times greater than it is on your
head !
And since nothing moves without a force being applied, your hair stays put
but
the *whole of the Atlantic* ocean moves.

Sleep well :-)

wondered "yea why?"
