A recent theory suggesting that the Earth would lose gravity on August 12, 2026, for seven seconds has been debunked by NASA. The idea, known as ‘Project Anchor,’ circulated on social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter, with claims of potential catastrophic consequences including 60 million deaths. Despite the traction gained by this theory, NASA clarified that such an event is scientifically improbable unless there is a significant change in the Earth’s mass.
According to a NASA spokesperson, Earth’s gravity is determined by its mass, and the only scenario where gravity could be lost is if the Earth’s overall mass were to decrease. This clarification comes amid various predictions for 2026, with some individuals turning to Nostradamus for insights into future events. While no specific predictions were made for this year by the philosopher, interpretations of his texts have led to speculations about potential political upheavals and military conflicts.
One line from Nostradamus’ works mentioning a “great man struck down by a thunderbolt” has sparked theories about assassinations or political coups. Additionally, another passage referencing “Foists and galleys around seven ships” has raised speculation about conflicts in the South China Sea involving China. However, these interpretations remain unconfirmed.
