Facebook gravity hoax fools many!

Over 1 million people have shared a hoax on Facebook claiming everyone will be rendered weightless for a brief moment on 4 January 2015.
Posted by: admin , December 29, 2014
  • Over 1 million people have shared a hoax on Facebook claiming everyone will be rendered weightless for a brief moment on 4 January 2015.
  • The story states the phenomenon results from a once-in-a-lifetime planetary alignment where Pluto will pass directly behind Jupiter which in turn will counteract the Earth’s gravity.
  • The story was originally published by The Daily Buzz Live, with accompanying tweets from ‘NASA’.
  • The Daily Buzz Live is known for publishing true stories, along with fake ones.
