Full Moon Lunatics

Has anyone noticed that there are always people who get a little crazy during the full moon? I personally experience a type of restlessness and extra energy, every time the full moon comes around.

I have this theory, that the moons gravity probably affects the water in our body, in the same way that we see the moon affect the ocean tides. I personally haven’t found any evidence or studies regarding the effects that the moon has on a person. However, some people are clearly more sensitive to supernatural phenomenons.

Anyway, I remember reading in a book, a long time ago that the word Lunatic came from mental asylums. The doctors noticed that most of the patients became more aggressive and energized when the moon was full. Luna is the spanish word for moon. A moon tic…tick… :speak_no_evil:

Thoughts? What are you smoking? :grin:

I am a lunatic regardless of the phase of the moon.

This is interesting to think about! And yes. Weirdly enough, it’s high positive energy during a full moon and depressed/off kilter during a new moon for me. Not really much of a spiritual person anymore, but was in my teens. Still cool to keep track of, the moon has always held my amorous gaze, lolololol

Your describing my experience. Im real mellow after the full moon passes. Its quite interesting to observe my natural rhythms.

One thing ive noticed is that there are always more people shopping at the grocery store late at night during the full moon… and they all look bewildered. :laughing:

I’m not buying it. If I leave a glass of water filled to the brim on my kitchen counter it will never raise up and spill over, regardless of the phase of the moon.

How could a force powerful enough to alter sea levels be so selective that it ignores smaller and lighter volumes of water?

Imagine magnets worked in the same selective manner, simple nails would be impossible to pick up but refrigerators across the country would be subject to the attractive force.

Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy, or is it just the moon talking again?

Never, but It would be cool to see that happen.

One has to wonder, how does gravity affect what cannot be seen or measured?

Is gravity something that can be measured or just an observable phenomenon?

When we measure the specific gravity of liquids it’s a buoyancy comparison. In much the same manner it’s obvious that heavy things go down and lighter things go up.

If the the moon is truly responsible I’d expect the weight of water to be lighter with the moon and it’s pull overhead and water to be heavier when the moon is visiting the other side of the world combining it’s pull with that of the Earth.

What do I know, I’m just a simpleton.

I imagine there are aspects of gravity that is not observable, and currently unmeasurable. Like all things, our understanding changes as we grow smarter and make new discoveries.

Imagine, the whole cosmos is full energies and elements that we are oblivious to…

It’s interesting to me that if you’re doing an indoor grow, and there is a light leak, it can cause very significant problems for your grow. But outside with the cycle of the moon, which during full moon can be very bright, doesn’t seem to have an impact on the plants. The difference between a new moon and a full moon is dramatic, nd it doesn’t seem to have any impact on the plant. I’ve often wondered how this lunar light cycle affects the plant. There is also the whole planting by the moon school of thought. They have schedules for when to harvest and when to sow flowers, etc., all based on the lunar cycle.

When the moons gravity affects the oceans, it has all of the oceans from which to draw water.

In a glass, there is only water in the glass.

Is the glass measurably lighter during a full moon?

My high school science project was about this.

I collected data from major metropolitan first responders and emergency rooms across a 3-year period and contrasted them to moon phases.

Incidents and births during the full moon and followed closely by the new moon far surpassed the other phases.

It wasn’t even close.

I got an A.

My mother was an ER nurse and she always adamant there was an effect of a full moon on the ER admissions.

I just have to point out, whether or not the moon is fully illuminated from your geographical perspective, it is always 50% illuminated. Always. Just like the earth. Except for the brief time during an eclipse. Which makes it difficult for me to believe it being “full” or not will change its gravitational pull.

Before gravity was a thing we accepted, the thought was the light from the “stars” (planets) was what was influential over our nature. And the early christian church leadership murdered a whole lot of people for saying such things. But, they were murders for god, so it’s ok.

That was a stimulating article. This actually makes sense.

“In all situations — regardless of geography or access to electricity — participants slept less and went to bed later in the days leading up to a full moon when there was more natural light available after dusk. Researchers hypothesized this is continued evidence that we have “an innate adaptation” from our ancestors who likely slept less and conducted more work and other activities whenever there was more natural light available.”

Maybe all that aggressive energy was used for hunting. I imagine our ancestors would definitely be out stalking pray, on a full moon night.

Exposure to a full moon does aid in passing water.
