The Jupiter Effect 1976

It is hard to ------------------ sense of April Fool’s day, a day when people tell

jokes and lies. For example, people might ----------------- phone calls to their

friends trying to trick them. Or newspapers might ----------------a profit in sales

by printing strange headlines about money-growing trees or the discovery of

life on other planets.

On April Fool’s Day 1976, British Astronomer Patrick Moore announced on BBC radio that an

extraordinary astronomical event would occur on that day as the planet Pluto passed behind Jupiter

at 9.47 a.m., causing the Earth to lose some gravity. He asked people to -----------an experiment at the

exact moment the Earth would have the least gravitational pull. He explained that if people jumped

at 9.47 a.m. they would experience a strange floating sensation. Moore ------------a guess that people

would fall for this trick.

In fact, he had guessed right! Many listeners who believed that a scientist could not be wrong,

actually did jump to see if they could float. Even those who were more skeptical thought it would ---

------------- no harm to try!

What happened next is the strange part of the story. Rather than call in to -------------------------------

complaints, thousands of listeners told the station how jumping at the right moment had really ---------

a big difference! Moore decided to ---------------- some research into the phenomenon and found that

one Dutch woman and her husband said they floated around the room together whereas another

caller had ------------------ a request for compensation because he claimed that he had injured himself

when his head hit the ceiling.
