NASA Project Anchor and the impossibility of a gravity blackout

A viral claim suggests Earth will lose gravity for seven seconds on August 12, 2026, due to a secret NASA project called "Project Anchor." This claim, originating on TikTok, lacks any scientific basis or official confirmation from NASA. Experts state that Earth's gravity is constant and cannot be switched off. Scientists dismiss the gravity blackout scenario as a thought experiment, emphasizing that such an event is impossible according to current physics and no evidence supports Project Anchor.
