So weight only plays a role if air is involved 🤨

If there was no gravity the ball and feathers would float.

So does that mean that without an atmosphere of any sort everything would technically weigh the same?

this also means that rockets don't work in space...

If it falls at speed from height would that create air?

So what does that imply regarding gravity?

are we talking air or oxygen? real?

amazing ! one of the twin towers almost matched that speed when it collapsed and science pretended it didn't happen

alot of people do t understand what a vacuum space segment or chamber is. or how it works lol. take it easy on em.

The real question is how much of our tax dollars were spent on these little science projects.

to vacuum is to pull. so the machine pulling air out caused the vacuum to lower both things at the same pull rate? oh hec I'm just guessing

wow how much money goes into finding out if the bowling ball drops first or the feathers

weight has nothing to do with it. Mass does. Mass creates its own gravity. So yes, the fall at the same rateish. 10 meters per second per second. With a feather and the ball they are still to close in mass. If you were to drop the moon and a ball in a vacuum with Earth's gravity, the moon would fall faster because it would pull itself toward the earth with its own gravity. On a small scale this is true. Large scale, busted

why the vacuum of 240 psi when sealevel pressure is 14.7 lbs. per cubic foot? Total vacuum is required?

so you proved gravity isn't real and proved buoyancy and density? but still call it gravity?

Imagien your profession was proving a bowling ball falls same speed as feather in an airless chamber

so greater the mass, greater the gravity.. correct? well then tell me why they fall at the same rate? fishy

it does..without density, thrust doesn't work..I know that you will never understand because you just don't want to but you can simply use the device in your hand and learn everything you need to know to understand the physics of thrust.. but you won't and then argue with those that do

If the air resistance is causing the feather to fall slower. What are the recorded times of the bowling ball each time it fell?

uh that would dispel gravity, since we DO have air unlike most planets...so DENSITY IS THE REAL GRAVITY...idkm

For those who doesn't understand he didn't take away gravity just the air which made them fall at an equal rate.

Eventually they will figure out that gravity is attraction. Everything vibrates and everything attracts

Why don’t you put a couple astronauts into the vacuum and simulate space? Because they can’t. Instead they trail underwater which is the opposite of a vacuum

So it's air resistance not gravity.. lol you guys can't really make this shit up yet they doo

So if this is possible, then that makes gravity even more subjective! They say gravity is subjective to mass! But in the vacuum of space! No mass! But gravity still has the same pull in a vacuum?!?!? 🤔 circular thought.😲

Yes the feather falls at the same rate as the ball. All items fall at the same rate
