- jlgreco 13y agoI am very confident that it would fall. Consider the slinky again. If I dropped it with a parachute to slow it.... no, replace "parachute" with "my hand", but assume my hand follows the same trajectory the parachute would... the end of the slinky would not wait for my hand to approach it. The information about a change (the drop) would take the same amount of time to reach the end of the slinky. The information travels just as fast, even though the information is "we're falling slowly" instead of "we're falling".
- judk 13y agoI was thinking of a parachute unfurling, which generates an upward force as it catches air, counteracting gravity temporarily.
