Wasn't there a famous experiment about this someone once did?
- wongarsu 8y agoA misleading experiment: the heavier the feather the quicker it falls is obviously true; steel feathers are useless. The same is true for balls (except for the exceptional situation of a perfect vacuum), it's just that drag and air currents don't influence balls all that much at low speeds.
