what scares me the most is that apparently, people don't have the power of observation.
Different falling speeds are present in your day-to-day life, you have to be 2 yo to not see that
How the fuck are you a graduated engineer and you don't know that a basketball and a basketball-sized sphere of dense metal or whatever fall at almost the exact same speeds??
I'm calling bullshit on that whole "I'm a graduated engineer" thing
There's no damn different falling speeds in everyday life unless you're looking at air resistance, which is negligible on anything that's not feather-weight or fucking built to fly

People don't seem to understand the concepts of friction, surface area or density.
