Behaviors of Animals and Plants Strongly Influenced by Gravitational Tides from Sun and Moon, Experts Confirmed

A new study regarding the activities of our sun and moon and their influences over biological beings here on our planet was conducted. According to the experts, more conclusive evidence was discovered suggesting that the sun and moon's gravitational action heavily influences the behavioral aspects of animals and plants.

The research was led by scholars from the Brazil's University of Campinas. Among the main interests of the study was autoluminescence, a property produced during germination under the gravitational tide's cycle regulation.

Animals and plants have an active biological synchronization with the gravitational tides caused by the interaction between our planet, the moon, and the sun. And although the theory is found feasible in previous papers, the scientific community does not find any concrete evidence that supports the matter.

To learn more and prove the correlation between the gravity from the sun and moon with the organisms on Earth, the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) School of Technology expert Cristiano de Mello Gallep and University of Bristol's School of Biological Sciences expert Daniel Robert teamed up. Their recent collaboration was published in the Journal of Experimental Botany, titled "Are cyclic plant and animal behaviours driven by gravimetric mechanical forces?"

Gallep said in a report by EurekAlert that all of the living and inert matters found on our planet are both influenced by the gravitational forces exhibited by the solar body of our star system and Earth's own satellite. These effects are significant and are commonly expressed through the measurement of tides.

Gallep added that the gravitational tides have a periodic oscillation slated in two cycles per day. The motions of the sun and moon directly impact these cycles, allowing the oscillation to be modulated in monthly and annually intervals. The expert said that the organisms present on Earth have continuously evolved through ages under this same setup. In conclusion, the gravitational tides are a potent and massive force that naturally regulates the rhythmic foundations of all organisms, shaping all biological and inert species over time.

Biological Behaviors Influenced by Gravitational Tides

The new examination serves as a meta-analysis of 3 separate studies (16/50344-6, 15/11280-0, and 18/05300-6) that focused on the unexplored subjects about the gravitational aspects between the celestial bodies and Earth. Previous researches included several perspectives on a period where the gravity is not yet intact, roughly the same time as when the first isopods swam, and shell-less crustaceans appeared 300 million years ago on our planet. Alongside the activities that coincided with these events are the reproduction of corals and the autoluminescence of sunflower seedlings.

Although most of the effects of the gravitational tides were previously examined, the authors found discrepancies when the collective subjects were placed on controlled, isolated conditions. However, in the end, the variance in cases allowed the team to single out its effects on the behavioral patterns of both animals and plants.

Under stable and controlled laboratory examination, the animals were found to sync their behaviors with the flow of tides at approximately 12.4 hours of lunisolar dynamics. According to Gallep, the pattern is still persistent after several days, with a perfect match between the lunisolar tidal interval of the original region where each of the animals was collected.

Aside from its natural impacts with Earth's gravity, oceans, and tectonic plates, the fused gravitational activity from the sun and moon is also imminent for the European Organization for Nuclear Research or CERNs Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The massive device must be adjusted every time it is used, as it is affected by the gravitational fluctuation with 1-millimeter vertical displacement.

The effects could also influence the humans that are kept in the dark or people who inhabit caves, giving off a cynical fluctuation between 24.4 to 24.8 hours respective to the moon's cycle. The outcomes manifest in these individuals through changes in their mealtimes, sleeping schedules, and metabolisms.
