Did you know the full moon might effect the way you act and think? Some scientists don't believe this because the evidence is not that hard. I believe it may affect people, because they seem to act crazier when the full moon is out. Whether it be, maybe, they decide its a bright night so they can do more crazy irradical acts, or they're just like, "hey, look, a full moon!" and decide to try and do something crazy and it has nothing to do with the full moon.
Greek philosopher Aristotle and Roman historian Pliny the Elder suggested that the brain was the “moistest” organ in the body and more likely to the influences of the moon, which influences the tides
Dana Gerhardt wrote this about full moons on her website Mooncircles:
"What’s empirically true shows up in research reports. Imaginative truth comes out in rumors, myths and stories. Scientific truths happen to a statistically significant portion of us. Imaginative truths can capture an equally significant percentage, even though they occurred among only a handful of people, or never even happened at all. Imagination responds more to image than literal incident. And its force can shudder through millions at once. Empirical facts we can count, but of imaginative ones, we need to ask: What does this story serve? What is it trying to tell us?"
With how much research I do, I find more and more contradictory evidence. Some studies say yes it does, while others say it has no effect what-so-ever on people or animals acting crazy on full moons. Some say people might just remember it better because they see a full moon, others say its the mind looking for something to blame (even if it's mythical).
