Those two orbs we see in the sky during the day and night have even more of an influence on the animals and plants on Earth than you might think.
, where coral growth and larvae production were shown to match local gravitational tides under the influence of the Sun and the Moon.in sunflowers – backed up by new experiments run by the authors of the meta-analysis – again found evidence that germination was in step with lunar and solar gravitational patterns. Several other previous studies were also referred to by the researchers.
"The data shows that in the absence of other rhythmic influences such as lighting or temperature, local gravitational tides are sufficient to organize the cyclical behavior of these organisms,""This evidence questions the validity of so-called free-run experiments, in which several environmental factors are controlled but gravitational oscillations are not taken into consideration. These oscillations continue to exist, and may modulate the behavior of living organisms.
In the case of the isopods, for example, the organisms were observed following swimming patterns that matched the gravitational tides of the environment they were taken out of, even several days after being moved to the lab.for many years in scientific studies, but the aim of the new meta-study was to bring attention to its pervasiveness and the need to consider it more widely in research projects.
We know that the Large Hadron Collider needs to be slightly but repeatedly adjusted to take these gravitational tides into account, and that these subtle forces can also
