It is believed that everything on our planet obeys the law of gravity which was discovered by great English physicist Isaac Newton in the 17 century. We know perfectly well that if you take a pen from the table and drop it, then it will definitely not fly up. But there are gravitational anomalies where this law does not work: there a muffled car goes uphill by itself, a waterfall flows upward, and a multi-ton boulder keeps on top of a cliff at an unrealistic slope, sways, but does not fall down. Here are some places on the earth where gravity does not work at all:
1. Reverse Waterfall, India
2. Mount Aragats, Armenia
3. Santa Cruz Mystery Spot, United States
4. St. Ignace Mystery Spot, United States
5. Oregon Vortex, United States
1. Reverse Waterfall, India
The picturesque reverse waterfall is located in Naneghat or popularly known as Nana Ghat which is a mountain range in Maharashtra near the Konkan coast and Deccan plateau. The serene Naneghat certainly demands a trek when you visit. A trek all the way to the reverse waterfall will feel nothing short of magical. Well, the simple reason behind this reverse effect is the strong force of the winds that push the water upwards.
2. Mount Aragats, Armenia
Located on the border between Turkey and Armenia, a mountain blows people away. Thousands of travellers around the world come to this mountain every year to witness the incredible anti-gravity phenomenon where a neutral car automatically goes uphill, without any driver. If you turn off the engine of your car at the foot of the mountain, the car will go up on its own. There is a river nearby that goes up too. Many people who have visited this site claim that it is easier to go up than to go down.
3. Santa Cruz Mystery Spot, United States
Located in Santa Cruz, California, at just 150 feet or 46 meters in diameter, the site can be found amidst the forests and is one of the most famous secret places in the United States. The mystery spot was discovered in 1939 by a group of surveyors and opened to the public in 1940. Strangely enough, people walk around looking like they’re leaning over and that anytime they’re going to take a good fall. There is still no logical explanation for this, but visitors often return to feel the sensation of being there again.
4. St. Ignace Mystery Spot, United States
This place was discovered in 1950. When a team of some people reached this place to investigate, all their equipment simply stopped working. Their tripods were not level, and the sense of height was always distorted. It is possible to balance on a wall and, as expected, have various sensations of dizziness. It’s really like gravity is ignored. After several days it was found that the force of gravity does not work in an area of 300 square feet here. Standing in this place, you will feel like you are in a spaceship.
5. Oregon Vortex, United States
Located on Sardine Creek in Gold Hill, Oregon, in the United States, Oregon Vortex is one of Oregon’s oldest and most original examples of Roadside Americana and also a glimpse of a strange world where the improbable is the commonplace and everyday physical facts are reversed. Before any construction in the region, locals said that the Amerindians called this site forbidden territory. In addition, travellers who passed there often saw their horses refuse to cross the region. The Oregon Vortex is a place where tape measures, balls that roll uphill, yardsticks, bubble levels, and plumb lines are used to demonstrate the phenomena.
