The only logical explanation is that the spaceman is, in fact, a witch.

That feather is really going to cause a lot of excitement for some lunar archaeologist a million years from now.

I propose a different experiment involving a fat Raiders fan, a skinny Broncos fan, and a rooftop.

Especially when they find it next to a hammer.

Good luck developing a hypothesis to explain that one.

Didn't watch the video. It depends on if you drop them from the same height, assuming no air resistance then yes.

I hope it wasn't one of those $40,000 hammers.

Well, that one experiment PROVED Galileo's theory to be correct.

Can you imagine the uproar if they didn't fall at the same rate? That would have been fun.


It would've been great if the astronaut had buried a big magnet below the surface before dropping the hammer, and then didn't tell anybody about it until he announced it in his will.

Poor Galileo. He told everybody the Earth wasn't the center of the universe, and the church f*cking hung him. They hung him. They just apologized for it like 10 years ago.

He didn't get in trouble so much for his advances in scientific thought as he did for questioning the Church's interpretation of sacred scripture.

Ok so well he wasn't hung. But he was basically imprisoned for his remainder of years.

Here's the one that's always baffled me:

Which weighs more, a pound of hammers or a pound of feathers???

I can never find enough feathers to test it out.
