@Wormwood >no one bothered to check
Why bother?

@Marakus @Wormwood So we can know whether anon's mom will reach supersonic speed when thrown from a tall building or not.

@kerosene @Wormwood Free fall terminal velocities are quite low on Earth.

tbf, it's complicated. Objects that are light but with a large surface area will fall slower than heavy objects with a large surface area due to the force of air pushing back. To run the test properly you need a vacuum, and I'm guessing ancient greeks didn't have a lot of large hard vacuum chambers kicking around.

@sj_zero @Wormwood heavy objects hurt more when they fall, at least

Turns out it's actually true because air exists and we live on earth
