Gravity


I've posted this before, but it's been a while and I think it's one of those fun things that writers find fascinating. If you hold a bullet in one hand and a pistol in the other and both are the same height and you fire the pistol level and drop the other bullet?


Both of them hit the ground at the same time. 


Mythbusters even did a segment on this, and their difference was like 39 milliseconds, which is easily attributable to errors in measuring and the rigs they used. 


Go, gravity, you puny weakling ...
