How is it that the moon can affect the 352 quintillion gallons of water in the ocean, but not affect us?

The moon depending on where it is at your time of day can affect whether or not there’s high or low tides. Basically moving all of the water in the ocean, at least that’s how I think. But how come it doesn’t make us feel lighter or heavier throughout the day? Or just seem to affect anything else

Who says it doesn’t?

It, infact, does. For example, menstrual cycles are based on lunar cycles, which is why they occur roughly every 28 days.

That’s just the most notable effect because it has something physical that occurs that you can see and experience.

It effects different hormone levels and other circadian rythms as well.

Here’s a study on it. The abstract is an easy read.
