Falling objects both fascinate and confuse people the world over. These are the laws of physics that affect our lives everyday, so why is it so hard to understand and why are there so many misconceptions surrounding this topic. We simplify the mind boggling science behind it all so that we can all understand what’s going on. Do all objects fall at the same speed? Do heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones? Experiments in vacuums have muddled the facts when being applied to real world conditions, so let's set the record straight and explain what’s actually going on.
