Aristoteles stated that all bodies fall to the earth with a velocity which is proportional to their weight. In the following visual we can find out if he was right or not. This is something mankind took 2000 years to prove!

   When Galileo did this experiment, modern Physics was born as a science in which statements, however reasonable they may seem, are not considered true until they are verified.

   The experiment is supposed to be performed in a receptacle containing a vacuum, so that the air does not interfere with the results. Later on we will compare these results with the ones obtained in free fall in the atmosphere.
