Zero Gravity Day!
Posted: 28 Dec 2014, 01:14
Moore told scientists that they could experience the phenomenon by jumping in the air at the precise moment the alignment occurred. If they do so, he promised, they would experience a strange floating sensation.Astronomers have long been aware that there would be an alignment of the planets on that date, when Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto would be on the same side of the sun, within an arc 95° wide. But now they are guaranteeing the occurrence as the gravitational effect of the other planets on the Earth’s crust is maximum even at their closest approach. But don’t get too excited. If you think you’ll be able to float around your house, you’re wrong. But, if you jump in the air at 9:47 AM PST, on January 4, 2015, it should take you about 3 seconds to land back on your feet instead of the usual 0.2 seconds. So, mark this date on your calendar and share it with your friends! Zero gravity day is just around the corner! [x]
I found a lot of sources saying this was a hoax? I'm posting this because I'm REALLY hoping it's not. I want to floooat. Don't fail me now, NASA!
