LOL! One side of earth (side facing moon) has water being pulled toward moon causing high tide.
Opposite side (side farthest from moon) is experiencing high tide because the moon's gravity (yea gravity) is slightly pulling earth towards it, but the water stays in place because of inertia (resistance to change in motion (reason earth doesn't crash into sun)) causing high tide.
And btw, The reason we only see one side of the moon (stated in article) is because the moon rotates on axis and revolves around earth at pretty much the same speed. Try taking a ball and spinning it around your head while rotating it at the same speed (with you acting as earth and ball acting as moon). You only see one side of the ball.
Honestly I think whoever wrote this was a high school dropout :\.

For example, the observed behavior of the earth revolving around the sun can be perfectly explained if the sun has a net positive charge and the planets have a net negative charge, since opposite charges attract and the force is an inverse-square law, exactly as the increasingly discredited Theory of Gravity.

Sorry, but i gotta go ahead and say that this is complete bull. everything she says in that article could be immediately discredited by any physicist in possession of a brain.
