(Robert Stawell) 1840 1913 Ball, Robert Stawell, Sir Time and Tide: A Romance of the Moon E-text prepared by Eric Hutton, Irma Špehar, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Time and Tide: A Romance of the Moon" by Sir Robert S. Ball is a scientific lecture series published in the late 19th century. The work blends scientific inquiry with poetic elements, focusing on the theory of tidal evolution and its relationship with lunar phases. In this book, Ball discusses the profound historical and astronomical implications of tides, emphasizing how they reveal insights about Earth's past and its connection with the moon. The opening of the book sets the stage for a deep dive into the scientific exploration of tides and their significance, introducing the reader to the idea that the moon plays a crucial role in producing tides on Earth. Ball presents the thoughts and theories related to tidal forces, detailing the historical relationship between the Earth and moon. He begins to illustrate how observing present-day tidal movements can inform our understanding of ancient geological history, suggesting that the tides are not just mere phenomena but evidence of a dynamic Earth-Moon relationship that has evolved over millions of years. Through this engaging introduction, he invites the audience to consider the interconnectedness of celestial mechanics, geology, and historical evolution in a way that marries the realms of poetry and science.
