Didn't realize I was going to start such an issue here. I take it back ,it's a giant stable wave that been rotating around the Earth for billions of years, and has a wavelength equal to half the circumference of the Earth. If the Moon stopped orbiting, that wave would continue around the planet at the same rate, slowly loosing amplitude until it disappeared.
