I can’t believe this has to be said, but no, gravity is not going to be switched off on planet earth for 7 seconds, no matter what stupid thing you read on the TikToks.
Can you imagine how scientifically illiterate, and in fact, just how flat-out stupid you would need to be to believe such a thing?
You don’t really need to fully understand exactly how large masses warp space-time, causing us to experience the force we understand as gravity to appreciate that there’s simply no reason it would just randomly stop working for 7 seconds one day. It isn’t necessary to fully understand everything to understand something about how reality works.
If you want to feel really depressed, think about how many millions of morons actually read this nonsense on the TikTubes and credulously thought, “oh yes, this seems very reasonable! How frightening!”
Then think about how many of those damned imbeciles are surrounding you, all the time.
