“The Earth Will Lose Its Gravity”: How NASA Responds to the Viral Theory

NASA has officially responded to a viral theory circulating online claiming the Earth will lose its gravity for seven seconds in 2026, causing millions of deaths. NASA has made it clear that the Earth will not lose its gravity and that the theory has no scientific basis. The date referenced in the theory is linked to a total solar eclipse, a natural phenomenon that does not affect gravity. NASA reminds that the Earth's gravity is determined by its mass and that observing the Sun during an eclipse requires special protection.
