And I thought that's fascinating because we are made of water.

Yes.

And am I right in saying, does the moon affect tides?

It affects tides.

And so large masses of water.

Well, actually, the thing is gravity, the way gravity works, it affects everything.

So, for instance, when I jump up, I fall down because the Earth's gravity is pulling on me.

But also my gravity is pulling on the Earth.

Now, my gravity compared with the Earth's gravity is...

Insignificant, yes.

But people do say if everybody jumped up at the same time.

I still don't think it would have much difference, but it's a large mass moving.

And so yes, then it could have, you might see a noticeable effect.

But yes, and so there is this interaction, the gravitational force,

But it does, yes, sort of, you know, pull the water because the water is fluid.

When you have sort of the moon on one side and the sun on the other, for instance, then the water gets sort of elongated and you get high tides.

And there's lots of things that spawn when there's a full moon.

So, yes, it does have an influence.

So they spawn at full moon?

Yes, quite a few creatures.
