NASA has officially debunked a frightening theory about Earth losing gravity later this year.
According to the theory, Earth would lose gravity for precisely seven seconds at 14:33 GMT on August 12. In November 2024, conspiracy theorists asserted that a NASA document named ‘Project Anchor’ revealed the event.
Subsequently, he utilised social media platforms to advance this theory. People began discussing the idea on Instagram, and the conversation spread rapidly.
An Instagram user writing under the name @mr_danya_of claimed, “On August 12, 2026, the world will lose gravity for seven seconds.” NASA knows. They’re preparing, but won’t tell us why.”
This user asserted that a now-debunked theory predicted the deaths of 60 million people. As the conspiracy theory gained momentum, NASA tried to explain through science why this would not happen.

Speaking to fact-checking website Snopes, he said that the only way for the Earth to lose gravity would be for the Earth’s mass to change.
A spokesperson for the space agency explained: “Earth will not lose gravity on August 12, 2026. Earth’s gravity, or total gravitational force, is determined by its mass.
“The only way for Earth to lose gravity would be to lose the mass of the Earth system, the combined mass of its core, mantle, crust, oceans, terrestrial waters, and atmosphere.”
People are once again looking to Nostradamus to see what 2026 has in store for humanity.
According to the New York Post, the famous philosopher hasn’t made any specific predictions for this year, but that hasn’t stopped people from paying attention.

Analysts of Nostradamus’s treatise say that according to the 26th, the verse from Century I says that “in the day a great man will be killed by the thunderbolt”.
This one line has led many people to suggest that a man and someone famous and important will be assassinated or that a military coup could take over a political regime.
Meanwhile, in another section, this time Quatrain VII, people say Nostradamus wrote: “Armies and galleys surround the seven ships; a mortal battle will begin.”
Some say this may refer to the South China Sea and China’s actions there, but this is unconfirmed.
