A viral post claims NASA leaked a secret document called “Project Anchor”, predicting gravity will stop for 7 seconds on August 12, 2026—causing millions of deaths and global chaos.
It sounds terrifying, but it’s not true.
What Would Actually Happen?
The claim says people would float up to 20 meters, then fall. But a real physicist, Joel Meyers, says:
“You’d drift upward only about two feet in seven seconds.”
So no dramatic floating, no crashing ceilings, and no instant disaster.
Why the Fear Is Wrong
Even without gravity, our bodies would not fall apart. Gravity doesn’t hold us together—electromagnetic forces do.
The atmosphere also wouldn’t instantly vanish in seven seconds. It would take much longer.
The Real Danger: Earthquakes After Gravity Returns
The biggest risk would be what happens after gravity comes back. A sudden shift could cause:
-
global earthquakes
-
tectonic activity
-
unpredictable weather changes
But again—this is still based on a fictional premise.
Bottom Line
There is no secret NASA plan, and gravity cannot be turned off. This is simply a viral conspiracy theory.
So no need to panic.
