The Jupiter Effect is a 1974 book by John Gribbin and Stephen Plagemann, in which the authors predicted that an alignment of the planets of the Solar System would create a number of catastrophes, including a great earthquake on the San Andreas Fault, on March 10, 1982. The book became a best-seller.[ The predicted catastrophes did not occur.
Isn't that when the Earth was on one side of the Sun and all the other planets were lined up on the other side? I remember they said all the planets' gravity together, was going to spell doom for us! 🙄
Yup. There were a lot of doomers walking around predicting the planet would be devastated. I was like - this probably happens every few hundred years, why is this time different?
Anyone remember in 1982 when all the planets were going to line up and that was going to be the end?
