Do you feel any difference in the universal vibe since the eclipse?

[kentuck]

Do you feel more positive? Do you feel anything has changed?

Do you believe in gravity?

Perfectly balanced between the Earth and the Sun, the Moon must have had some effect on the gravitational fields, one might think?

Since a large percentage of the human body is water, could the Moon's gravity have some effect on the human brain?

Perhaps it is all just an illusion?

Whatever it was, it was amazing!

1. No.

It’s simple physics and interesting to watch. Nothing beyond that.

2. Nope. Eclipses are normal events, predicted centuries ago.

They happen now and then when the moon's orbit crosses in front of the sun from the perspective of people in some locations on earth. It might look cool but it's not a big deal, not a sign of anything, and it doesn't affect anything unless you're a magical thinker who also believes in "signs" or other woo and hooey, and then the effect is only in your own head.

11. It's a rarely seen phase of the moon

We see it as exciting because it doesn't happen very often and it's weird to have darkness in the middle of the day, but jesus christ the shit about changes in vibrations and all the other nonsense people put out...this is what is holding us back as a society, seeing a perfectly normal, if not terribly common, occurrence as something meaningful or prophetic, like the moon is sentient or something. We can't advance as a society until this magical thinking goes away.

3. I was happy we could have one day to come together and enjoy something beautiful

Oregon was able to participate in 2017 and the memories of how special that was were flowing for me. I got teary yesterday watching the event on tv and seeing how young and old alike were in awe.

4. I had 24% totality where I lived...

...so I guess the Earth is 24% more balanced for me?

[Silent3]

5. Given the very cynical post I just made a few minutes ago...

...I'll say that's a big NO.

Still, I enjoyed the eclipse while it lasted.

[NewHendoLib]

6. Nope.

[MomInTheCrowd]

7. Yes, and I like it.

Made the stuff we read about here get quiet - at least for a few moments.

[BluesRunTheGame]

8. It was dark for 4 minutes.

Then it was dark through the night.

Now it’s back to being dark all the time.

[Xavier Breath]

9. Yes, I definitely believe in gravity. I see it's effects more and more each day. n/t

[honest.abe]

10. I do feel different since it was a great day for me.

-- I reconnected with my brother who was at one of the totality sites.
-- My company won a major contract
-- My wife got an interview for her dream job

[senseandsensibility]

12. No, I guess I don't do "vibes"

I know, what kind of leftie am I?

[Crunchy Frog]

13. No.

[tinrobot]

14. Arizona seems to have gone back in time... to 1864

[eShirl]

15. the moon had no more gravity than it usually does

same with the sun and the earth

[ornotna]

16. I noticed one thing

My tan just doesn't seem quite right.

[DavidDvorkin]

17. I have no idea what the universal vibe is supposed to be

I do know that the moon is not perfectly balanced between the earth and sun.

[Blues Heron]

18. Good article on gravity the moon and tides

https://earthsky.org/earth/tides-and-the-pull-of-the-moon-and-sun/

I think we can be affected by subtle and not so subtle changes in the gravitational field

[LastDemocratInSC]

19. Gravity isn't just a good idea.

It's the law.

[Bonx]

20. My Chakras feel more aligned

[Rebl2]

21. Nope

It was 90% here. Just enjoyed the moment and how the temperature changed. Used the pin hole trick to see it. Very briefly used the solar glasses.
