I'd like to test Newton's theory using Sean Hannity and Rush. |
|
We drop them both from a thirty story building. Now Newton postulated that even though one of the objects, Rush, is heavier, both would hit the ground at the same time. Think I can get a government grant?

1. I think Hannity would hit the ground first |
|
Since Rush would have more wind-resistance.

2. That is only true if they are dropped in a vacuum, however... |
|
since you brought it up, we could test the little known Newton's Fourth Law-Shit Floats, using those two.

5. I promise to vacuum after they hit the ground. |

about "hot air," but it escapes me at the moment.
Oops ... wait, was THAT it? :)

4. Yes, Rush would go STRAIGHT UP, since hot air rises. |

I was gonna say "Rush would be floating high above the populace due to all the drugs and hot air"

Galileo, not Newton. Galileo dropped weights (possibly cannonballs) off a building (NOT the leaning tower of Pisa, thank you) and noted that they hit the ground at the same time, in spite of their differing weights.
Of course, if you dropped Hannity and Rush off a building, you would be surprised how long it would take them to hit the ground... Rush would float (hot air), and Hannity would have to ask for directions to find the ground...

9. You're right, but I still want to drop them off the building. |
