The moon affects a lot of things on Earth, but I don't think physics is one of them.

Physics is physics. The moon doesn't affect it.

The tide and numerous other things. Life would be VERY different if the moon wasn't peering its silvery face at us every night!

"If practice makes perfect" and 'nobody's perfect,' then what's the point of practice?"

I always play basketball at night just so I can get better airtime when I shoot.

an electron billions of light years away effects physics on Earth, so yes it does

The moon doesn't only affect tides, it also is the reason why we have any form of natural light when the earth is away from the sun.

Yes, it partially negates the gravitational pull of the earth.

I don't think so. Not noticeable by humans at least.
