Hi List,
I'm really wondering of the poll (which I just posted) results. ;-)))
The link is below and the poll is on the left side under the main menu and
the mailing list.
Let's see,

Hehehe, that's right capitano but what do we know ?
In fact only 4% might be correct according to some
scientists that postulated the fifth fundamental interaction
which has a repulsive character depending on the number
of nucleons. So the smaller mass may fall the first.
Or are there only
Hi Sergey and list members,
I found it fascinating that 15% of respondents to this poll
did not know the correct answer! This is standard 3rd grade stuff.
I guess they weren't subjected to nuns.

Hi Raz all,
That is an example of why there are no longer any
scientific laws - ie, at the sub-atomic level there
are particles that go backwards in time. (of course,
there are not any real particles as there is no
such thing as solid matter, only dense vibrations
HOWEVER,
But Michael,
the 2% stems from me.
I run so often down the staircase, but when I arrived, always both spheres
were already there.
So you never know.
Buckleboo.

But, the question was defined, stating spheres of specific weight, in a
classic physics example. No masses of varying energies or quarkiness, just
good old simple fun to see who would fall for the what falls faster, a
pound of feathers, or a pound of lead?

Hi All,
The majority of people who have stated that the two spheres will arrive
at the same time are mistaken. The 10-kg sphere will definitely
arrive first, if only by milliseconds. Now if you had dropped the spheres
on the Moon, the majority answer would be correct. But wind resistance

I'm wondering whether everyone has jumped to a wrong conclusion at to
what is the correct answer.
In a vacuum all bodies will be accelerated by gravity at the same rate.
However the question was if ON EARTH! (emphasis added) 2 spheres of
different weight are dropped. Since the heavier
Hello all -
I have a 30.35 gram lunar individual available, if this is within your
collecting scope please drop me an email.

I took the only true answer... you never know
As the question doesn't contain the necessary information to decide
the outcome of this experiment.
The question was :
Two same shape spheres (1kg and 10kg) dropped from 100m.
Which one will reach the Earth's surface faster?
It's the same shape
Hi Goran,
I took the only true answer... you never know
There are actually two possible correct answers, depending on
how much credit you give to the questioner. The key, as you
point out, is the interpretation of the phrase same shape
spheres. Did the questioner realize the redundant nature
Greetings List members -
The list seems a bit quite. So here is a post of a picture on the wall at
Denver's International Airport. The picture is on the baggage claim level
near carousel 4.

Which would you rather have dropped on your head; a pound of feathers or a
pound of lead? ;]

But, the question was
Can anyone explain why this seymchen has a bandwidth that seems to vary by a
whole lot (from the better part of 1cm down to much less than 1mm). note the
neat transclucent green and yellow olivines. This slice was preped by Allan
Lang, it couldnt have come out nicer.
Good Evening;
I'm raising some gas money for a Nevada trip later this month and have
put a few meteorites on eBay. Some are common, some are interesting.

Hello Robert, Goran, Michael, Sergey and all others:
The two spheres would hit the ground at the same time
only if air resistance or another resistance (large
bird maybe)doesn't interfere with the spheres. The
law stands true if the two spheres are released at
exactly the same time and in a
