And this latest farce demonstrates that conspiracy theorists get so locked into their ideas they basically become compulsive liars.
The claim is that pressure acts over an area of water and pushes the oceans up. It then stops again and the oceans go back down, we see this as tides. When he was pressed on it (no pun), straight away, which has become one of the default answers is "I has done experiments". This is clearly a lie.
It was followed up by me presenting data, and a repeat of what others have said before. There is no pressure change detected on land. Oh what a fool I am for saying such a thing because the effect is out at sea in the middle of the ocean. This strongly implies that he has travelled to the middle of the worlds greatest oceans and taken barometric pressure reading. However any public available data or scientific study ever produced, plus ships crossing these great oceans have never detected this pressure. The tides rise and fall on a roughly 12 hour cycle, so this pressure wave is as regular as clockwork.
However what we do know about pressure is that it it changes because of the weather. The lowest barometric pressure recorded was 870 Pa and the highest 1083, a difference of 213. It is rare to see those extremes and certainly not in the same place. In Europe in the last 14 days the pressure low and high are around 995 Pa and 1027 Pa. Basically a change in pressure of 30-40 Pa is not uncommon weather patterns.
@What A Waster provided evidence ages ago to show pressure readings out at sea which are consistent with this. But this change in pressure doesn't change the tides at all. We don't suddenly have an unexpected high tide when there is a warm spell. A graph of tide height is pretty much a sine wave and very predictable. So if there was a pressure out to see causing tides we know it must be more than your average or indeed extreme weather changes. You are talking a pressure change of 400 Pa or more. That is pretty extreme and because pressure acts in all directions, would have a massive effect on weather. Indeed it would be THE major driving force of weather on this planet. It would pretty much wipe out a tropical storm or turn it into an armageddon event for anyone in it's path. This of course doesn't happen.
A little side note, when looking for data I came across these apps:

Look at the description "Two apps designed for mariners who realize the importance of atmospheric pressure for routing decisions." This is recognition that people out to sea need to watch air pressure very closely as their lives could depend on it. Those at sea are pretty tuned into what air pressure is doing around them.
For this to be possible and Nuke to have done experiments, he has not only been to these unique places in the oceans, he has survived the extreme pressure events and witnessed something that no other human has ever recorded to public knowledge. The rest of the crew remained silent (possibly had burst ear drums). This is of course all a lie. Such a trip would be extreme, and expensive. Chartering a boat to witness such things is not an everyday thing. There is no experiment, there is no regular pressure change on land or at sea that would explain the tides and anything he think he might have detected (he used the single word 'barometers' to describe his experiment), it can not have been greater than your most extreme changes in pressure due to weather.
But he is so locked into his fantasy he can't see this in the data that is freely available or so easy to collect yourself (as I have done) and find that yet another one of his fantasies does not exist. Instead when called out very simply, double down and lie about experiments. This can join the superfluid experiments and a couple of others he claims to have done. I have been involved in looking over the purchasing of some pretty sophisticated lab equipment at a university (from the IT compatibility aspect) and know how much this stuff costs, way beyond the budget of your average person. This is why we have no details, and in his head he probably thinks he has done experiments. Although it is a different playing field, he is no different to Boris. Asked a difficult question like "err, can you expand on that" and it just becomes lies and deflection. He probably thinks he has spent millions on lab equipment, has produced superfluid, has measured extreme pressure events and has proved that water is level. The reality is he has thought about it, fantasised and convinced himself he has done it.
We all know the response to this will be "well if you want to think that, I can't help you". He probably can not see himself he has become a compulsive liar. But the important thing is this is not unique and it is a sorry place all conspiracy theorists seem to end up in. They build a fantasy world and build an image of themselves in that world where they are the hero of truth doing amazing things.
