The Jupiter Effect
null
Book •
John Gribbin's "The Jupiter Effect" is a book published in 1974 that proposed a controversial theory linking planetary alignment to increased seismic activity and other natural disasters on Earth.
Gribbin, a scientist, argued that the gravitational pull of aligned planets could influence the sun's activity, leading to increased earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
The book gained significant media attention but was ultimately discredited by the scientific community.
Despite its flawed predictions, "The Jupiter Effect" serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of pseudoscience and the importance of critical thinking.
Its impact lies in its illustration of how scientific concepts can be misinterpreted and sensationalized.
