Just a bunch of orbiting?

shrumeo

was reading about how the moon causes tides on earth

so the oceans farther from the earth-moon center of gravity experience 6% less gravity (and the ones on the close side experience 6% more)

could this be analogized into a large pocket of the universe, say the observable universe, in that mostly it is merely orbiting some unobservable center of gravity, and we are in a "high tide"

is this looney?
