Lunar Mood Swings

Yesterday I learned something new. Here it goes according to the best of my understanding:

During a full moon, the gravitational forces between the earth and the moon are at their highest, therefore 70% of the earth's waters become tidal and produce high waves. A lot of negative incidents happen around the full moon.

And since the human body is nearly 80% watery, of course, such fluctuations would affect their internal organs and mood swings.  Hollywood depicted this phenomenon with the wolf-man.

Therefore the moon's fullness definitely affects human beings' mood swings.  Studies in the 1970s proved so when most convictions by the NY police took place around the full moon. 

This is why our Prophet -PBUH - recommended us Muslims to fast during the full moon phase: 13th, 14th and 15th of every Islamic Calendar Month.
