Introduction

Discovery that different objects thrown from the same height will reach the ground at the same time.

This observation is highly counter-intuitive. Most poeple would reason that the heavier object falls to

the ground earlier. This observation is incorrect. The heavier object falls with greater force, but

doesn't fall earlier.
