I had hope that this might actually explain the tides, but midway through the video, I saw that it was not going to do so. The Earth and the Moon are not accelerating toward each other -- their distance from each other remains constant. Therefore the explanation is void.

Hey dipshit the only way an object can orbit another object is for it to accelerate toward the other.

If you kept watching you would have seen that they are spiraling around each other which is gravitationally similar. The explanation starts with the example of how it would work if they were accelerating toward each other because it's a simpler model.

Might want to read up on what orbit is. Hint: things in orbit are in constant acceleration.

It's really not though; while not immediately obvious it also isn't all that complicated. The shared center of gravity of the earth and the moon is not centered on the earth, so as the moon pulls on the earth and creates a bulge on one side, the other side of the earth is pulling in the opposite direction. Hence a symmetrical bulge. Definitely not a topic worthy of a 14 minute video.
