www.FreeScienceLectures.com On one of the Moon missions, NASA astronauts decided to prove Galileo Galilei right. He reasoned that if there was no atmosphere, no dragging force then two objects of different mass falling from the same height would hit the ground at the same time. The astronomer drops a hammer and a feather on the surface of the Moon. — It’s Never too Late to Study www.FreeScienceLectures.com — Notice This video is copyright by its respectful owners.

@mephesis he was just put under house arrest. They didn’t kill him, and they admit he was right about 20 years ago.
according to the catholic church there is no evolution and god built this whole world and all its occupants in seven days even though we can look into deep space and can see new worlds being born catholics are brain washed child molesters watp
stenly kubrick must be much more smarter than people thought to fake this
what nice astronauts
@thegstrings123 conspiracy theorists voted Obama not Bush. And they’re not rednecks but usually leftist brainwashed college students.
@mephesis Being a catholic myself, I have to agree with you. Those were dark times, as anyone who has some degree of inteligence can distance himself from.
any beliefs in that time were vicious
Anybody else feeling a little proud right now, having watched this? And with the LHC there’s more to come in the following years!
@FFFFbody Christian is Christian, religion is religion, twist it any which way you want.
@NelielTuOderswank Which witch burnings? The ones by Protestants in Salem New England?
@FFFFbody Ah so the witch burnings never happened, evolution was never under pressure, the Spanish inquisition never existed, the world is flat, the sea past the cape of good hope is full of boiling water, and we should spend our lives trying to go to heaven instead of trying to create it here on Earth. Perfectly logical.
Please don’t embarrass yourself. You’re the clearest case of Ad Hominem I’ve ever seen.
Sometimes I just sit there and really wonder what Galileo would have thought to see his idea proven correct..I wish he could see this.
@dycarbon1 lol. No buddy. I’m named “FFFFBody” because I like muscle cars. And in the ’60’s and ’70’s Pontiac and Chevy named the chasis for Trans-Ams and Camaros “FBodies” I also own one. That’s all.
@FFFFbody
Awwww < =(
Prejudice much?
Judging by your user name I could say you are a dim-witted 12 yr old redneck. Any attempts to communicate would only drag me down to your level so… I rest my case!
@dycarbon1 Hey buddy, corresponding with you would be a time-killer. I can tell when people are too closed-mindid. Just the words you use “manipulate”
@FFFFbody
Science, to the church, is merely a tool which they manipulate to support their personal beliefs about our relationship to the universe. That is NOT how science works. Would you agree with the claim that “AIDs is bad in Africa, but condoms are worse?”
@dycarbon1 Wrong buddy. The Church has always advocated the sciences. The Pontifical Academy of Science is the oldest “academy” in the world. The Vatican has a telescope in one of the best places in Arizona. Also, you cannot bring in 18th C. ideas into the 16thC. It isn’t historically honest.
From now on, be careful not to engage in misinformation and hyperbole, because someone will always come along and put you in your place.
@mephesis Go fuck yourself. I’m sick of people like you engage in hyperbole. Catholics never murdered him you liberal prick asshole. Infact, the Church put him under house arrest for his own protection from the Protestant hoarde. Just look what the Protestants were doing at the same time in New England (Salem).
@dycarbon1 “the church halted human progress for a thousand years!”
So, progress has been halted until around the year 2,600CE?
By censoring Galileo’s IDEAS, and taking away his or anyone else’s right for FREE SPEECH, the church halted human progress for a thousand years! The church advocates the total paralysis of reason and rational thinking and halts any sort of scientific advancements. People are told to not question, not to argue and not to doubt. So yes, I guess the church is pretty good at what it does.
very intersting
mephesis-you are right about Galileo being right, but wrong about him being murdered.
Check any reputable source, Galileo was censored, misunderstood, ill used, misrepresented, yes all of those. But he was not murdered or otherwise killed as runly1 has correctly pointed out.
Why do people who wish to criticise religion (and you brought the subject up, not me) feel so free to use the same kind of uncorroborated inexactitudes they accuse religion of using?
kind regards
Two objects, the moon (m) and hammer (h) affect each other equally and opposite:
Acceleration of hammer caused by moon:
Fh=Mh*Ah=G*Mh*Mm/(r^2)
Ah=G*Mm/(r^2)
Acceleration of moon caused by hammer:
Fm=Mm*Am=G*Mh*Mm/(r^2) (same force as above)
Am=G*Mh/(r^2)
So a larger “hammer” pulls the moon faster even though its own mass is canceled out in its own acceleration equation. And yes, even a feather will pull on the moon even though we could never measure it.
“In other words, acceleration (due to gravitation) would be product of Gravitational constant, Mass of heavy body (earth/moon) and distance between objects. ”
by that I really meant to say…
“In other words, acceleration (due to gravitation) would be product of Gravitational constant, Mass of heavy body (earth/moon) and INVERSE SQUARE distance between objects”
