Weather Channel and NASA Debunk Solar Eclipse Gravity Loss Conspiracy, Address Pendulum Anomalies

Summary

Ahead of a solar eclipse, the Weather Channel and NASA are debunking a conspiracy theory that gravity will disappear for seven seconds, clarifying that eclipses do not affect Earth's total gravity. While the main theory is false, historical studies have explored minor anomalies, such as effects on pendulums during eclipses, though these remain unconfirmed.
