5 unusual places on earth where the
force of gravity doesn't work
Reverse Waterfall in India
Reverse waterfall is situated in the Western Ghats near Junnar in Pune,
Maharashtra. Unlike all other waterfalls in the world, the water of the Reverse
waterfall, blows reverse, that is upwards, instead of flowing downwards, as the
law of gravity suggests. While the real reason behind this natural phenomenon
is still a mystery, it is believed that there’s some anti-gravitational force
in play, while scientists state that it is because of excessive strong winds
near the waterfall area.
Mount Aragats in Turkey
One of the most popular tourist attractions in Turkey, Mount Aragats, located
in Armenia, is famous for its mysterious anti-gravitational phenomenon. As it
happens, a netral car can be seen going uphill, without anyone driving
it.
Jeju Mysterious Road in South Korea
Formerly known as Dokkaebi Road, Jeju Mysterious Road is a street situated on
the island of Jeju-do in South Korea. This street not only defies the laws of
gravity but also offers optical illusion. Its slope goes downhill but appears
the other way round, thanks to its unusual altitude.
The Hoover Dam in the United States of America
The Hoover Dam is a hydroelectric power plant located in the state of Nevada in
the USA. It is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon upon the Colorado
river where the water splashes upwards, instead of downwards. Scientists
believe that it is the unique construction of the dam that makes the air around
it excessively strong. In fact, tourists from all over the world visit the
Hoover Dam just to experience anti-gravitational force.
Magnetic Hill in Australia
Located in rural South Australia near the city of Adelaide, the Magnetic Hill
derives its name from the strange sculpture of a giant magnet along the side of
the road. It is famous for its anti-gravitational phenomenon due to which a
vehicle is often seemed to roll uphill, when in fact, it goes the other way
round. This is actually an optical illusion. This Magnetic Hill is similar to
the one near Leh in Ladakh, India.
