Lunar Effect Discussion
There are a lot of folklore tales associated with the moon. Some are ancient, some modern. One relatively modern bit of folklore is that crime rates increase during the full moon. The reasoning is that just like tides are caused by the moon, then people (who btw are mostly water) are also affected by the moon. Use your critical thinking skills and respond to this bit of folklore. Address any or all of these questions: Can you formulate a hypothesis and imagine a method to falsify it? What are the variables involved in studying the lunar effect? Can it be tested experimentally? Also, if it were a real phenomenon then how can we possibly have free will when the moon would have control of such things? Respond to some or all of these questions.
