Why does everyone repeat the lie that two objects of different masses fall at the same rate, when this is clearly false? It cannot be true, and you don't even need to measureme to prove it.
Ah, you'll immediately leap to crying, but we've done tons of experiments dropping a small lightweight ball, and a large heavy ball, and in a vacuum without wind resistance they experience the same force of gravity and therefore fall at exactly the same rate! If you make one heavier, it just has more inertia, so it cancels out. Right? Wrong!
Because you're only taking the attraction of the Earth on the ball into account, and not the other way around. Gravity is universal, each of the balls is also attractive the planet. Consider this: On the moon, objects fall slower, because the moon has less mass. How about Jupiter? Jupiter isn't quite a solid, but if we imagine it as a compact ultramassive little guy, clearly anything dropped on Jupiter would drop ultra fast. So.. what happens if you drop the Earth on Jupiter? Or Jupiter on the Earth? Hmmm? Would it fall at the same rate? Cause after all, everything dropped on Earth falls at 9.8m/s^2 right? Except.. stuff dropped on Jupiter drops MUCH faster. Including the earth. So effective a super massive body is falling *onto the Earth* faster.
So back to our mismatched balls(heh). They're both attracting the Earth to themselves, so they're each helping to pull the earth towards each other, albeit at sliiightly separate angles (cosθ!) What if you dropped each one on opposite sides of the Earth, equidistant, assuming perfect spheres and no outside forces etc etc? Well, what happens if you drop Jupiter on one side of the Earth, and a tiny steel ball on the other? The Earth's gonna get pulled a hell of a lot more by Jupiter than the ball! Of course, the ball is pulled by Jupiter too, but inverse square law.
Ergo we see it plainly: the idea that objects of different mass fall at the same rate is FALSE, and anyone perpetuating it is a LIAR.

It's just the power play, anon. There is no real knowledge, just the power to push your particular political narrative. Because your opponents have the power and have captured the institutions they can push whatever they want.

It is and it isn't. I'm going ballistic because you're hurting my brain Sir.

What's the problem friend? I'm just pointing out the obvious.

You got massively triggered by the fact that the soiyence you learned in elementary school was massively oversimplified so that your tiny little babby brain could understand it, anyone who has passed high school level physics knows OP is correct

This is correct.

is the steel ball moving Earth at least a planck length towards it? all of Earth?

>>16069454
dropping a 1 kg ball from 1 meter moves the earth approximately 10 million planck lengths if my napkin math is right

An object of twice the mass is attracted by twice as much force, but its momentum is twice as big, so its acceleration remains the same.

In terms of Newtonian physics :
Acceleration due to gravity is not constant. It is dependant of the inverse squared distance seperating two objects. In the earth's frame, Jupiter is the one undergoing motion and it's acceleration will be proportional to the mass of earth. In Jupiter's frame, the earth is the one undergoing motion and thus has an acceleration proportional to Jupiter's mass.

Not really, it's just that we usually don't consider the earth falling onto the objects, only the objects falling onto earth.

It was even demonstrated from the moon retard.

The gravitational effect that the balls have towards earth are negligible. This is pointless
