Does the traveler effect the ocean tides
The moon causes the tides and waves due to gravity, so is the traveler effecting it at all?

Maybe it did have an effect, but probably not. It made rain on mars dude. SPACE MAGIC!! lol

8 RepliesMaybe if you knew how the moon affects the tides, you wouldn't be asking that question.
-
Traveler orbits the earth at the same rate as the earth rotates, therefore its gravity only affects the area underneath it; the last city :)
-
3 RepliesThe moon causes tides because as it orbits the earth every 28 days or so it pulls the oceans directly below up into a bulge. The Traveler is stationary with respect to the Earth's surface and therefore wouldn't raise tides.

3 RepliesWhat is the Traveler Effect?
-
2 Replieshe is the ocean tide
-
1 ReplyIt proably could but sence its living it proably controls its own gavitational pull so it doesn't effect the tides.
-
3 RepliesNope. Space magic. I would imagine the tides would remain the same just as the travel made all the other planets have the same gravity as earth.

1 ReplyThe Traveler laughs at our notions of macroscopic physics. Oh, and I think you mean "affect"...apologies for being pedantic. :-S

2 RepliesEdited by Kind of Ben: 9/1/2014 7:05:09 PMHard to tell how much it would effect the tide, because if you think about it, the Traveler has been shown at a couple different sizes. Whenever the view is from space (ala the original Destiny logo), the Traveler appears to be much bigger than when it is seen from the City. http://m.imgur.com/Edl2DaT Any time you see it from the surface, it isn't anywhere near as big as it appears from space. http://m.imgur.com/kmSBdx1 If it actually was as big as it looked from space, it [i]should[/i] cover almost the whole sky when viewed from the city, ID4 style. However, it doesn't even appear to be wider than the City itself. Edit: In fact, now that I see those aide by side, the Traveler is almost a hundred times smaller when seen from the City!

1 ReplyBut does the traveler have a center of gravity?
-
The traveler is big but not big enough to influence tides

Good chance that it is. Or because of Space Magic it doesn't.
-
5 RepliesThat vvvvvv and the moon has some sort of "core" as it was created from molten dust and space stuff. The traveler is a....ship?
-
Not really maybe at first when it came down but it doesn't move from where it is so therefore it wouldn't cause too much to the tides. Even then you'd have to think about the fact that the traveler is something that changes the planets and probably is built to keep those things from happening.

1 ReplySpace magic.

Edited by Apollo: 9/1/2014 6:46:37 PMYep. It's probably hollow
-
Edited by Apollo: 9/1/2014 6:46:43 PMIt could be hollow
-
Edited by Apollo: 9/1/2014 6:46:52 PMI think it's hollow
-
1 ReplyProbably made the oceans waaaay more agressive, considering it's size, mass and how close it is to the surface, mut maybe it uses space magic to stop the effect
-
Depends on the mass of the traveler. The traveler has clearly rewritten laws of physics to favor himself
-
Nah, probably not. If it can use it's hyper advanced technology (space magic) to terraform the planets in our solar system, then it can most likely negate some (or all) of Newton's Laws.
-
1 ReplyYes. Everything does, even you.
-
6 RepliesProbably not. Because the Traveller clearly has/had the power to re-write physical laws. Mars and The Moon were given atmospheres. Venus was MASSIVELY terra-formed into the twin of Earth that it could have become. Most freakishly though, The Speaker (in the beta) said that Mercury was transformed into "a garden world". The surface temperature of Mercury gets as high as 700K (600 C). Which makes it hot enough to melt LEAD---nearly twice over---and nearly hot enough to melt aluminum (660 C/1200* F). So if the Traveller can turn a solar blast-furnace into a *greenhouse*...I really doubt that it's having any significant effects on Earth's oceans.

2 RepliesI'd suspect it doesn't have the needed amount of mass to cause a significant change in the Earth's gravitational pull [u]TL;DR[/u] [b]NO[/b]
