That is what I have been trying to hint at for Hawkeye. Who claims to know this Galileo thing. The law of Falling Bodies is only valid in the absence of an atmosphere or if you rig the experiment so both objects have the same shape. BTW Galileo was forced to leave the University of Pisa for that theory because the followers of Aristotle disagreed with it. cl >>>Just to clarify Galileo: Two objects regardless of weight are accelerated by gravity at the same rate. A 1kg object and a 10kg object released at the same time will land at the same time at the base of the Tower of Pisa. Your mileage may vary due to the atmospheric friction.<<<
