'Sir Isaac Newton is laughing': Memes flood social media after 7-second gravity blackout conspiracy theory fails during August 12 solar eclipse
NASA has put to rest rampant conspiracy theories surrounding a supposed gravity blackout on August 12, 2026. Claims of a covert project named Project Anchor orchestrating this event have been thoroughly debunked. The agency reassured the public that gravity is a constant influenced by Earth's mass and is not subject to sudden disappearance. Furthermore, common astronomical occurrences like solar eclipses do not affect gravitational forces as suggested.
