Social media posts claim Earth will temporarily lose gravity and become effectively weightless for about seven seconds due to a supposed secret NASA program called “Project Anchor.” The claim has circulated as a viral conspiracy theory.
NASA, as reported by outlets including NDTV, debunks the theory and says there is no evidence for such an event and no secret project that predicts or confirms Earth will “lose gravity” for that duration. The posts provide no credible data or publicly verifiable information, and the idea is presented as an alarming or sensational prediction rather than a substantiated scientific finding.
The coverage focuses on correcting misinformation: the sources align in stating that the viral narrative is not supported by NASA and that the alleged “seven seconds” weightlessness scenario does not have a credible basis in official communication.
