Hello,Bodhi! BUT THAT IS WRONG!---
If U think about the fact that we do NOT live in a vauum and Aristotle's observations were performed in our REAL atmospheric world,then aristotle IS CORRECT. If U dropped a larger mass at the same height as a lighter mass then the heavier mass WILL ALWAYS arrive on the ground BEFORE the lighter mass. This IS a fact. This is because we are living in an atmospheric planet where the retarding force of the ligher mass will ALWAYS have a much greater impact on the lighter mass than it does on the heavier one. Hence,this resistance force will prevent the lighter mass from reaching the ground at the same time as the heavier mass.
