The principle of gravity

February 4, 2008

There is this heavy iron ball and a feather. According to legend, Galileo let them fall from the tower of Pisa to check which one will reach the ground fast. His superior Aristotle has told him that it would be the iron ball since it is heavy. Aristotle knew the unfair nature of gravity, that it favors those with heavy weight.

But Galileo would not hear of this since he believed in a fair world. He was overjoyed when he found out that his hypothesis was indeed right and the two materials reached the ground at the same time. Then Galileo told us that gravity is impartial and to see this honest nature we have to either go to the moon or be in a vacuum. So my cat turned her head towards me and told me “Arada, if you truly want to see fair world full of these funny concepts of democracy, freedom, justice…… either go to the moon or sit in vacuum.”
