The Moon Isn't Just Moving the Ocean. It's Moving the Earth's Crust.

Beneath the surface of the Earth, moving through fault lines, conduits, and fractures in the lithosphere, there is an ocean of water in constant motion. Randall’s argument is that this subterranean water system is not static or independent - it is driven by the same force that moves the surface oceans. The moon's gravitational pull doesn't stop at the shoreline. It reaches into the crust itself, building pressure along fracture zones and pushing water toward the path of least resistance. That is, Randall explains, precisely what a natural spring is - the point where pressurized water moving through a crustal fracture finally breaks through to the surface.

The implications Randall draws from that process extend beyond hydrology. Moving water through the Earth's crust generates patterns of energy - and Randall argues this almost certainly has a direct effect on the geomagnetic field of the Earth itself. That connection reframes the moon's relationship to the planet considerably. It is not simply governing the tides in the way a textbook describes. It is actively driving a planetary-scale hydraulic system embedded in the crust, influencing the magnetic field, and shaping the very geology that ancient cultures built their sacred sites upon - often, Randall has noted elsewhere, at precisely the points where that subsurface water breaks through.
