Our nearest neighboring body in the cosmos has a profound effect on us. It’s helped not only shape our evolution, biologically, but has shaped the entire evolution of our planet. Created some 4.5 billion years ago — when our planet and Solar System were still in their infancy — when a roughly Mars-sized planetoid crashed into a young proto-Earth, the Moon has been our companion-in-orbit ever since.
It’s totally reasonable and conceivable that life would have sprouted and thrived on Earth even without the Moon, but things would be significantly different in detail. Some of them would be obvious, some would be a little more subtle, but there would be a great many impacts that we’d notice if we knew to look for them.
Smart Banana has chosen the most interesting consequences that would wait for us if the Moon suddenly disappeared, by explosion for instance.
