Gravity is not a new topic for all of us so even though the law of gravitation has not
changed at all, there are actually some places on earth that seem to contradict
it. It’s almost as if gravity doesn’t exist in these places. So here are the
top 10 places on Earth where Gravity doesn’t seem to exist.

Mystery spot in Santa Cruz, California
This
anti-gravity area was discovered in 1939by a group of surveyors and it was
later open to the public in 1940. At this mystery spot, the laws of gravity don’t
appear to apply here because you can see balls rolling uphill and people
leaning over past their toes without tumbling over. Some people have a lot of
conspiracy theories about this place but I think it might just be a tourist
trap.
9.
Magnetic Hill, Canada
Visitors
will drive to the bottom of this world-famous hill and release their foot off
of the break then their car will start to roll uphill, defying the laws of
gravity. This attraction is known as a natural phenomenon driven by a magnetic
force, but it still seems pretty cool.
8.
Saint Ignace Mystery Spot, Michigan, USA
Back
in the 1950s, 3 surveyors came from California to explore the Upper Peninsula
when they stumbled across an area of land where their surveying equipment
didn’t seem to work properly. As they continued to research this land, they noticed
a constant feeling of being light-headed. Apparently in this 300 foot diameter,
you will experience objects behaving irregularly and you will feel really
strange physical sensations.
7.
Magnetic Hill, Australia
This
magnetic hill is located on black road on rural South Australia and as you
drive along this road, you will discover that gravity is very strange in this
location. And that’s because when you drive down the hill and put your car in
neutral, it will begin to drive itself uphill. Anywhere else and your car would
continue to roll down the hill.
6.
Waterfall, Faroe Islands
Can
you guys imagine a waterfall flowing upwards? No? Well here is an example of
that in the Faroe islands that is located in the Atlantic Ocean between
Scotland and Iceland. Although it might seem like gravity doesn’t exist in this
area, it’s actually the powerful winds that are responsible for creating this
illusion.
For
more than 40 years, experts were baffled when they discovered an anti-gravity
zone surrounding the Hudson Bay in Canada.
4.
Electric Brae, Scotland
Here
we have a location where people feel as though they are being drawn uphill by a
mysterious force when in reality; it is just an optical illusion. Although the
road appears to be running uphill, the configuration of the land on both sides
of the road make it look as if the slope is going in the other direction. So
that is why a car on the road in neutral will appear to move slowly “uphill.”
3.
Hoover Dam, Nevada, USA
If
you are planning on visiting it, try to do this little experiment. Try to pour
water from a bottle over the Dam. You will see that it won’t go down but
instead, the water will flow up. This happens because of the very powerful upward
current that the Dam creates. The water is actually carried upward by the wind
but it is still pretty cool to see.
2.
Mysterious road, Jeju, South Korea
This
is a famous anti-gravity road in South Korea where many tourists go to visit. A
lot of people believe that there is a mysterious force that prevents gravity
from working properly in this location. But in reality, this is just another
spot where an Optical Illusion is fooling people. The mysterious road has a downward
slope of3 degrees but it appears uphill because of the higher surroundings.
1.
Magnetic Hill, Leh-Ladakh, India
Here
we have another magnetic hill of some kind because this location is also known
to pull cars uphill. But some people even say that even passing airplanes have
to increase their altitude in order to avoid being pulled in by this strange
force.
Scientists
were unable to explain why gravity was so much weaker in this area, until now.
In their investigations, the discovered that the Laurentide Ice Sheet, which
used to cover a lot of Canada and the northern United States, was so large that
it dented the Earth 10,000 years ago which cause gravity to become weakened in
this area. Scientists believe that it will be 5,000 years before the Earth can
recover and get back to a normal level of gravity in this area.

you. I want to learn more about you guys so let me know in the comments where
