Why does the moon affect mood? Γιατί η Σελήνη επηρεάζει την συμπεριφορά;

Very unlikely but could it be that its gravitational force moves our brain?


Απίθανο αλλα μήπως ειναι η επηδραςη της βαρυτικης της έλξη μετατοπίζοντας τον εγκέφαλο μας;


Έτσι μάντεψε η Δάφνη.


The moon has very smaller mass compared to the sun but the smaller distance makes a relatively strong gravitational field and greater differential force between for example one side of the earth and the other. Hence it deformes the earth (tides) more than then sun. (The differential effect is similar to the proximity effect of bass increase in microphones when we speak or sing close to them).


When in full moon we have the sun and moon on opposite sides. Could it be that they attract our brain on opposite directions?


When moon is new both moon and sun are on the same side. Could it be that the combined attraction from the moon and sun at the same direction attracts and affects our brain?


Dafne guessed so.
