Even if you're modern student, educated in the public system of where the basic tools of life are not taught, feelings and personal worth rule the day. But this demonstration of Galileo's law of weigh, shape and size are not factors of gravity in a vacuum, so many centuries ago are here proved correct.
An amazing demonstration and an educational experience for many!
Galileo's Law!
Do you remember learning about Galileo, the father of physics, who was born in Pisa, Italy, in 1564 and lived until 1642. He discovered the Rings of Saturn, among other things?
Galileo also discovered that any object falling to earth, regardless of its weight, falls at the same speed.
He postulated that a cannonball and a feather, if dropped from the same height, will touch the ground at precisely the same time provided there is no air resistance. People found this hard to believe.
Galileo had great difficulty convincing people. Four centuries later, with the current technology, it has been experimentally demonstrated. Open the attachment, watch full screen to view/listen to the verification experiment.
It's a great visual treat to watch.
