In November 2024, a secret NASA document titled "Project Anchor" leaked online. The project's budget is $89 billion, and its goal is to survive a 7-second gravitational anomaly expected on August 12, 2026, at 14:33 UTC
What will happen: 1-2 seconds: Everything not secured will rise (people, vehicles, animals).3-4 seconds: Objects will continue to rise to 15-20 meters.5-6 seconds: Panic and chaos will ensue as people hit ceilings.7 seconds: Gravity returns, and everything falls from height.
This is a shockingly irresponsible prediction filled with misinformation. In a theoretical world where gravity was optional, the death toll would ultimately be much greater, but it would come from earthquakes and tidal waves, not fall damage.
So, shockingly, conspiracy theorists on the internet are wrong: you wouldn't "rise to 15-20 meters;" you wouldn't even hit your head on the ceiling. You'd just float—unless you leapt into the air at the right moment. "An average person who could jump about a foot and a half would actually end up jumping about 64 feet in the air without gravity," Meyers said.
Gravity fears assuaged
Another personal gravity fear involves breathing. Since gravity holds the atmosphere to earth, wouldn't all the air be instantly ejected into space instead of staying in my lungs where it belongs? Nope. Decompression would happen, but it would take time. "The upper layers of the atmosphere would start to float out into space, being pushed away by the layers of atmosphere below them," Meyers said, "But a few seconds wouldn't be long enough for us to lose all of the atmosphere around the Earth."
But it gets worse. After seven seconds, the Earth would clump back together, which "would create an impulse that would spread throughout the world in terms of global earthquakes in ways that are really difficult to predict in detail," Meyers said.
How I'll survive gravity-free day
Since I am not on NASA's list of chosen people, I am going to ride this thing out inside the metal womb of a deep sea submersible. The submersible is a closed system designed to withstand changes in external pressure, negating any atmospheric effect. The turmoil of the ocean rising then falling would likely cause massive tidal waves, but not where I am, under the sea.
The bottom line: Is gravity going to turn off on August 12?
I felt dumb doing it, but I asked Meyers point-blank what the chances are that the internet is right about gravity ending on August 12. He said, "it is very far outside the realm of possibility."
There is no secret NASA document titled "Project Anchor," and there's no way to turn off gravity. "Gravity is an inherent property of space-time," Meyers explained, closing the book on one the year's dumbest conspiracy theories.
