Heh... and there will be people who will swear it happened.

The dumbest thing about the whole article that nobody bothers to point out is that these planets are moving continuously toward this alignment. The gravitational effect theorized does not suddenly "turn on" like a light switch and then suddenly "turn off" when the alignment "ends."

If any measurable floating effect were going to happen at alignment, we would see a very significant amount of it happening already, slowly building toward this fabulous 3 second float, which would slowly trail off as the planets move out of alignment.
