Heavier things DO fall faster! Just try to drop a feather and a stone - you will see :)

I just did that in my vacuum chamber and it was a tie. Then I jumped out of a plane with my parachute and dropped a brick at the same time. The lighter brick beat me to the ground. Then I got into my time machine and went bach to ask Aristotle why that was. He was still scratching his head when I left. Just to put in a plug for Einstein, I gave him a flashlight that charges with solar cells. He was still scratching his head about that, too. I've had a busy evening.

Aristotle set the stage for Newton, sure, but for clearly explaining motion, Newton is the man. Yes, Einstein's work allowed amazing things to be developed, but I'll still take Newton.

We do not live in vacuum chamber even if some of us own one.
