Gravity is not something that the average person thinks about on a daily basis, but gravity affects our every move. Gravity is what forces us to fall down, not up, objects crash to the floor and we don’t go flying off into space when we jump in the air. The old adage, “everything that goes up must come down” makes perfect sense to everyone because from the day we are born, we are seemingly bound to Earth’s surface due to this all-pervasive invisible force. The old adage, “everything that goes up must come down” makes perfect sense to everyone because from the day we are born, we are seemingly bound to Earth’s surface due to this all-pervasive invisible force.
But physicists think about gravity all the time. To them, gravity is still one of the mysteries to be solved in order to get a complete understanding of how the Universe works.
In this video we will be showing you 5 places on Earth where gravity doesn’t seem to work.
5. Waterfall in Faroe Islands
There are so many beautiful waterfalls all around the world, which we definitely enjoy seeing and spending a part of our time there. Obviously, it would be a stupid question to ask you which way the water is moving to, whether from top to bottom or bottom to top.
But, not in this case, and this is not science fiction, it is a real waterfall that can be found in the Faroe Islands, in the Atlantic Ocean between Scotland and Iceland. What’s even more weird than that, is the information that scientists say this is not the only waterfall whose water seems to be moving in reverse.
Basically, this waterfall is not actually resistant to gravity, but it is the wind power that is forcing the water to move upwards instead of normally moving down as it should.
Looks weird, right ? Keep watching the rest of the video to see even weirder “ gravity resistant “ places.
4. Magnetic Hill – Leh, India
This hill, located along the Lech-Kargil-Baltic National Highway in India, reportedly has magnetic properties that can propel cars upward. Some say that even planes flying over this area have to adjust their altitude due to unusual forces.
And while many people believe it to be some magic, skeptics explain that it is just an optical illusion created by the landscape of the location and the hills surrounding it, making it appear that the road, which is actually downhill, is stretching upwards.
This place though is not unique to the world, there are similar examples in the US, Canada and Scotland.
3. Hoover Dam, USA
Pour out a little liquor for your homies like Tupac suggested, and it’s going to wind up on the pavement, right? Gravity says yes, but the Hoover Dam says no.
At the Hoover Dam, you can actually pour water straight up into the sky. No lie. And there’s a cool little experiment you can do that will prove it.
All you have to do is open up a bottle of water, reach out over the edge of the dam, and start pouring it out. Instead of trickling down its concrete wall it will reverse course and shoot up into the air. It’s not because the Hoover Dam happens to be built on lay lines or there’s some bizarre anti-gravity trickery going on. It’s because of the crazy powerful updraft that big dams can generate.
This isn’t just something that happens at the Hoover Dam, and you can use things other than water bottles to see how powerful the air currents are. Check out what happens when this dude gets a basketball spinning and then lets go.
It doesn’t float back up like water does… but it really travels a long way — and it gets going fast enough to skip across the surface of the river! You can thank the Magnus Effect for this particularly cool bit of video.
2. Mysterious spot, Santa Cruz, California
This unusual location is in a forest not far from the city of Santa Cruz, and the whole area is 45 meters in diameter. What makes this place unusual is that people seem to be tilting, and objects seem to be moving uphill. And while some believe the place is enchanting, experts explain that it is actually a well-designed and hidden optical illusion created for tourism purposes.
1. Mysterious point, Michigan
The police and the FBI reportedly explored the site during the 1950s. When they got to the place, all of their equipment stopped working. After further testing, they discovered that the problem only occurred in a certain area about 100 meters in diameter - and called it “ Mysterious Point “.
They have also set up optical illusion entertainment items - things are moving upwards, people can balance moving around walls ... even though the effects are just an optical illusion - it still looks fun.
