An Experiment in the World’s Largest Room Checks If an Iron Ball or Feather Drops Faster!!

When an experiment is conducted of dropping an iron ball and a feather in a state of vacuum, the scientific law of gravity states that both objects will fall at the same speed since they are pulled down the the same forces of gravity which exists on Earth.

A physics experiment on such a theory was conducted in the largest vacuum room in the world at a NASA experimental facility in the state of Ohio by dropping an iron ball and a feather at the same time and a video and results were published by the BBC.

There is a tendency to think that the heavy iron ball will naturally fall faster but the vacuum room creates “zero gravity” which similar to conditions on the moon. Therefore, the results of this experiment is in doubt.

In addition, an experiment conducted by astronaut David Scott while on the surface of the moon tested this theory with “The Hammer and the Feather” with a similar result as the test above.
