The Moon's gravitational pull on the side of Earth nearest the Moon pulls the oceans toward the Moon. The oceans bulge on the other side as well. Find out why. Another form of energy in the ocean is tidal energy. The energy for Earthâs tides comes mostly from the Moonâs gravity and a little from the Sunâs gravity. The part of the ocean facing the Moon bulges out. The part of the ocean on exactly the opposite side of Earth bulges out too. So as Earth turns, the ocean surface seems to rise and fall.
âOvermanâ refers to Nietzscheâs conception of a man who has literally overcome himself and human nature. In essence, an Overman is one who has superseded the bondage of the human condition and reached a liberated state â one of free play and creativity.
However, this impression and Nietzscheâs claims here are to a large extent incorrect. Nietzsche was, in fact, a rather substantial reader. This is true not only for his younger days but also for his last four active years, 1885â88. 5 Contrary to his claim that he is hostile to new books, he was very pleased with the large trilingual bookshop LÃ¶scher in Turin.
