A recent theory suggesting that the Earth would lose its gravity on August 12, 2026, for a brief period of seven seconds has been officially refuted by NASA. Referred to as ‘Project Anchor,’ the theory gained attention on social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter, with some users speculating about catastrophic consequences, including mass casualties due to people falling to the ground.
One Instagram user, @mr_danya_of, claimed that NASA was aware of the impending event but withheld information from the public. However, NASA clarified through a fact-checking website that such an occurrence was scientifically implausible unless there were significant changes in the Earth’s mass.
According to a NASA spokesperson, Earth’s gravity is directly related to its mass, encompassing various components like the core, mantle, crust, oceans, and atmosphere. The agency emphasized that there was no scientific basis for the Earth to lose its gravity on the speculated date.
While 2026 has been the subject of various ominous predictions, including references to Nostradamus’ prophecies, such as a potential assassination or military conflict, experts caution against relying on these interpretations for concrete future events. Despite popular interest in interpreting historical texts for contemporary relevance, no definitive connection has been established between these predictions and actual events.
