Answer:

In their 1974 book The Jupiter Effect, John Gribbin and Stephen Plagemann foretold that the arrangement of the planets in the Solar System would result in a series of disasters, including a significant earthquake on the San Andreas Fault on March 10, 1982. A best-seller was produced by the book. The calamities that were predicted never happened.

Explanation:

  • In an arc, 95 degrees wide, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto would all be on the same side of the Sun on that date, which had long been predicted by astronomers.
  • But the little impact could be anticipated because even at the planets' closest proximity, the tidal forces of the other planets on the Earth's crust remain insignificant.
  • By focusing on how the alignment affects the Sun and, in turn, the solar wind, which is known to have an impact on Earth's weather, the writers of this book attempted to somewhat circumvent these criticisms. The Earth's atmosphere has an impact on how quickly it rotates.
  • However, the impact on the Sun would also be minimal; in fact, there had been a closer alignment in the year 1128 without any problems.
  • The Jupiter Effect Reconsidered, written by Gribbin and Plagemann, was released in April 1982 to less favorable reviews. Despite the lack of planetary alignment at the time, they hypothesized that the effect had actually occurred in 1980 and had caused Mount St. Helens to erupt volcanically.
  • Gribbin acknowledged his "Jupiter Effect" hypothesis in his 1999 book The Little Book of Science, writing, "I don't like it, and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it."
