this was also done on the moon by astronaut David Scott during an Apollo 15 EVA - watched it live much better video  this one[B] Against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC | |||

Really enjoyed that. Broke up an otherwise crummy work day, thank you!! --------------------------------------- Life Member NRA “If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve." - Lao Tzu | |||

I remember watching it, too, and even though I knew what the outcome had to be, I still got a thrill out of it!  -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

That experiment has been verified numerous times over the years, but that one was very nice. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

That is a great video. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Beautiful. The whole science of it and this observing of it. | |||

Yeah, I agree, but I was most interested in Einstein's take at the end, but the video ended. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

Great video. Largest vacuum in the world is in Cleveland, go figure. | |||

Equivalence Principle. Short take - the laws (physical principles) of gravity (whatever that might be), are independent of an object's location or velocity (Strong Equivalence Principle) in space or time. Somewhat modified when dealing with very large bodies (like the Earth), that have tidal effects, but essentially the Earth, the feathers and the bowling ball are all accelerating toward each other in a precisely defined manner and path, independent of the physical nature of each of them. Whew! My head always hurts when thinking about relativity and cosmology. Real physicists can weigh in, but the universe of all we know is almost certainly screwier than we can know. Imagine showing a chimp (apologies to SM, but really, our closest kin on this ball) the inner workings of a modern jet engine, and trying to fathom the conclusions it might reach as to its purpose or origin (beyond big shiny hard thing, not good to eat). And although you might show said chimp every single bit of said engine, its analysis can never progress much beyond that.

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

Thanks – neat video. Einstein’s theories of special and general relativity were far more profound and astounding, and no experiment to date has found any flaw in them. Serious about crackers | |||

Great video! Galileo was right! Bowling balls fall really slowly in a vacuum, as proved by the video.  _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

Who knew Galileo was a bowler?  God bless America. | |||
