Do not blame the full moon?

For centuries, every time there is a misfortune caused by carelessness such as a hammer hitting a hand or twisting the spine when carrying heavy loads, many people blame it on the full moon.

This is a popular concept but has absolutely nothing to do with the Moon's operation cycle, astronomer and astronomer Robert Seeberger works at the Austrian Economic Ministry on July 31. He said after analyzing 500,000 industrial accidents in Austria from 2000 to 2004, experts found no evidence that there was a connection between ' sister Hang '.

The researchers also looked at the link between the accident rate and the position of the Moon closest to Earth to see if gravity could cause people to stumble at work, but the result was not.

The Moon's hypothesis is from the 1st century AD when Roman scholar Pliny thinks that the Moon can be stunned and unconscious for those who sleep under the moonlight. In 1984, the British Journal of Medicine published a four-year study in many parts of India that concluded a number of cases of spikes in the full moon period.

However, the University of Saskatchewan in Canada announced in 1998 that a study of 250,000 traffic accidents in 9 years was not related to the full moon cycle. Most scientists agree that the Moon is 385,019 kilometers from Earth, and humans are too small for the Moon, so they cannot be affected.
