How could there not be any truth to it?
It's like when people talk about "lunacy" i.e. the moon influencing human behavior. The moon causes the tides and we're 60% water; how could it not have some effect?
- ilikecode 4y agoPeople simply don’t like admitting that they are not fully in control of themselves.
- hirvi74 4y ago> "lunacy" i.e. the moon influencing human behavior. Is that seriously the etymology of that word? If so, that is absolutely fascinating.
- LorenPechtel 4y agoThe tidal effect of the moon on the human body is tiny compared to the other forces at play.
- gowld 4y agoThe tides work because water flows across the surface of the rigid Earth. You have a body that holds your water in, and a far more massive, much closer object than the moon, exerting far, far more gravitational pull on you than the moon. Also, the moon is approximately the same every day (but higher or lower in the sky). It looks different on different days due to shadows, not gravity.
