WEB DESK: Gravity, a fundamental force discovered by English physicist Isaac Newton in the 17th century, governs our daily lives, enabling us to walk and perform routine tasks. However, there are enigmatic locations on Earth where gravity seems to play tricks. Here are some of the most baffling:

Reverse Waterfall (India)

Nestled in the Western Ghats near Junnar, Pune, this waterfall defies expectations by appearing to cascade upwards instead of flowing downwards. While locals attribute it to an anti-gravitational force, scientists suggest it’s likely due to strong winds at the waterfall.

Mount Aragats (Armenia)

Tourists flock to Mount Aragats each year to witness an unusual phenomenon where cars can seemingly ascend uphill with no driver at the wheel, an eerie manifestation of anti-gravity.

Jeju Mysterious Road (South Korea)

Known as Dokkaebi Road, this optical illusion on Jeju Island perplexes visitors as vehicles appear to roll uphill against the slope’s actual downward direction, owing to its unique surrounding landscape.

Hoover Dam (United States)

Videos circulating online show water defying gravity as it appears to splash upwards when poured from the bridge of Hoover Dam. Scientists attribute this phenomenon to the dam’s construction altering air currents in the vicinity.

Magnetic Hill (Australia)

Situated in rural South Australia, Magnetic Hill creates an illusion that vehicles are rolling uphill, captivating visitors with its mind-bending optical trickery.

Magnetic Hill (India)

Near Leh in Ladakh, India, another Magnetic Hill mesmerizes travelers with an illusion where the surroundings make it appear as if vehicles are moving uphill when, in fact, they are rolling downhill.

These peculiar sites challenge our understanding of physics and continue to fascinate those seeking to unravel their mysteries.
