I would like to make one very important point.

Gravity exerts a uniform acceleration on all objects. The only things which can change the rate at which an object falls are differences in drag and relative density with the medium through which the falling is occuring.


That is all. I have nothing else to contribute.

Fuck off, lol... I always use that joke, and no one ever gets it, they just think I am a sick bastard. Hasn't anyone seen Booty Call?

*wondering if kind hearted race jokes are accepted*

Doesn't the density of the matter itself impact the equation? I don't see many saggy rocks around.

Also, when one piece of matter is say, 27 years old and two additional pieces of matter are, let's say, only 6 years old, wouldn't gravity have had less time to impart force on said additional objects?

You're not talking about gravity anymore. You're talking about material science. Rocks don't sag because they're in rigid lattices. The chemical bonds are exerting as much upward force on the atoms as gravity is exerting downward force. It's like sticking something on a table. Gravity's still having the same effect on the object, because it's sitting on the table, and it will fall to the table if dropped, but the table is exerting upward force on the object, so no matter how long it sits there, it won't drop anymore.

As far as two objects of similar materials at different ages, now you're talking about the degeneration of materials. Gravity has nothing to do with it, or at least very little to do with it. The materials just break down over time. If you put them in a vacuum it would happen just from molecular decay, it would just take longer. Now, perhaps silicon degrades more slowly than human stuffs, but that's not gravity's doing, it's the material's nature.

That is all. :nerd:
