Mythbusters - Galileo's Hypothesis: Hammer and Feather Drop

[spikeri812]

kari is hot

[zrogoszinski]

One of my pet peeves about Mythbusters is that they prove myths that arent myths. Waste of time.

[Laurelindo]

@zrogoszinski They do that just to demonstrate a fact, plus it is quite educational and entertaining, so I wouldn't really say it's a waste of time. =P

[ZawShin]

THere is nothing to bust about this

[GetTiefBlauAndDie]

@ZawShin They're just proving Galileo's hypothesis. They know it's real, and it's just for fun.

[nwopropaganda]

fucking morons. they should have used that big fucking falcon feather. i have a falcon feather and I dropped it with a hammer at the same time, and they hit the ground at the same time- MB used a yellow fluffy feather. Get it right you retarded shills. Go fuck yourselves in the ass, cornholers.

[fireangel32]

@nwopropaganda You obviously didn´t understand the test. They were testing the theory that GRAVITY has the same pull on all objects regardless of weight. The whole purpose of using a vacuum chamber was to take air drag out of the equation. Since the test was done in a vacuum, what type of feather they used is thus irrelevant and in fact the lofty, fluffy feather only emphasizes the end result - they both fell at the same rate in a vacuum.

[nwopropaganda]

@fireangel32 your thinking is pro nasa. I understand exactly what MB is doing. if the woman chose a big falcon feather and dropped it with the hammer while not being in a vacuum the feather would have reacted a lot differently than that yellow downy feather she used. MB is always very biased and if they were to do the experiment exactly, they should have used a falcon feather. The test was to prove CTs that man was on the moon. u assume too much & u have no idea what I think.

[nwopropaganda]

@fireangel32 the film nasa showed is also so grainy no one can tell if the monster falcon feather was weighted down, the film slowed, or who know's but this experiment has been done on Earth with a falcon feather. They weigh more and I happen to have a falcon feather and can drop it and it falls unlike a downy feather. Do you understand the difference between a falcon feather and a fluffy, down feather used in down comforters? One is loftier and the falcon f. is obviously different. ??

[fireangel32]

@nwopropaganda I assume too much? You´re the overparanoid one telling me I am pro NASA. I don´t give a sh*t about NASA or this so-called conspiracy.

Obviously, what feather they used makes no difference if testing Galileo´s hypothesis, which is really OLD news. I.e., they are doing this for demonstration only (they even say so in the full episode) - not to prove or disprove anything. Thus, it would make more sense for a layman audience to use a fluffy feather for demonstrative emphasis.

[shananagans5]

@nwopropaganda What kind of feather they used makes no diff at all. They used a fluffy feather to better demonstrate that without air they will fall at the same rate. If you notice the NASA film the feather is falling sideways (not pointing toward the ground) On earth if you drop a heavy feather oriented in a way to minimize air drag it can fall fast for a short distance. Try doing it from a higher distance or hold your feather like they did on the NASA film. The hammer will fall faster

[nwopropaganda]

@shananagans5 in this video at about 4:50- there is a scene with the famous feather drop and a man doing it in his backyard. watch?v=YWgXM6I_bvE

he gets it right. I know about the rate objects fall. So you don't have to explain the video again. The point is the feather drop was done on Earth because no man has ever been on the moon. The light downy feather does not have the same structure as a big falcon feather and therefore the falcon's feather is more aerodynamic.

[shananagans5]

@nwopropaganda So, the guy in his backyard had the feather pointed down, from a lower distance and the hammer still landed first. On the moon the feather was dropped sideways (in its least aerodynamic position possible) not to mention it clearly didn't flutter or move in any way like it would falling in air. It didn't turn over, it didn't move to the left or right. It fell exactly like it would with no air. You really believe we didn't go to the moon, don't you? lol

[nwopropaganda]

@shananagans5 why don't you google the world's largest vacuum chamber in the world. It's where Nasa conducts training for astronauts. Why do you have so much trouble admitting NASA faked the moonlandings. They can't go today, tomarrow nor in 2020. The Chinese were going to try an go with the Russians who are ahead of the USA and they won't be going in 2035. China has plenty of money. Why do you think the USA was able to go 40yrs ago and not anytime in between. Hard to imagine, but it's true.

[awizardalso]

@nwopropaganda 40 years ago, we were in relatively decent financial condition. We were also in a 'space race' with the USSR and actually had something to prove. . Over the last 40 years, our government has run amok with the money. There isn't any money to supposedly 'waste' on space exploration, plus, there is nothing to be gained now from going to the moon. We've been there, we know what's there (or is not there) so what's the point? Just to prove you 'hoax believers' wrong? Wrong answer!

[awizardalso]

@nwopropaganda You say you know the rate objects fall. OK, then. do the math and tell me how fast would you need to 'speed up' the video to get the free fall rate on the Moon to equal that on Earth. Now, explain to me why if you speed the video up by that rate, ALL the other motions, like arm motions, turning around, etc, become highly exaggerated. This works in ALL Moon videos. Before you start talking about gravity and physics, show us the numbers! I've done the math and working on the video.

[Laurelindo]

@awizardalso Haha I know right? The gravity on the moon is something like 1,6 m/s^2, right?

That would mean all the movements of the astronauts - in "regular speed" (or whatever we should call it in this case) - would be so fast that it almost looked like a movie on Fast Forward.

I refuse to believe that the astronauts moved that fast all the time in all the moon landing videos in order to "fake moon gravity".

[awizardalso]

@Laurelindo Exactly. It's amazing to what depths some will go to try and disprove something. On Earth, it would take ~0.53s for the hammer to drop 54in (chest height) and ~1.3s on the Moon (as seen in the video). So, speed the video by 240% to duplicate the fall rate on Earth, and what happens.? Did the amphetamines just kick in?

[mocrg]

I love these comments!

[Groundonrage]

The moon does have around 1/6th the gravity of the earth because of its mass is much smaller than compared to earth , how did they get their numbers? i have no clue but almost everything they state has gone through numerous trial and error stages. The reason why astronauts don't jump 6 times higher on the moon is because the suits they were contain a large amount of weight in them for safety purposes.

[bravosiguenza]

Oh irony... a scientific video full of comments from angry monkeys...

[Rac665]

@bravosiguenza

but isnt that what Physicist and Scientist are? Angry monkey's...that know how do equations and are good at comprehension of various concepts?

[unbindingfloyd]

@KABO5e hahahaha you are having fun with that nut case aren't you :D I enjoyed the laugh. Oh also the earth is at the center of our universe. NASA are a bunch of fakes. Hahahaha jkjk stupid conspiracy fools :D

[KABO5e]

For those of you just joining us, feel free to scroll back on the comments and laugh your asses off.

[KABO5e]

@nasafakedit you just are (and always have been) a dumb ass, feel free to pull your fist out of your ass at any time, earth=circle not sphere

[frog654456]

@nasafakedit

lol

What are you some narrow minded religious zealot? Yeah the Earth is definitely flat! Niagara falls is actually on of the corners of our flat Earth and if you jump off the falls you go through a teleporter that puts you on the other side of the Earth. Oh yeah the moon is just a picture tied to strings to make it move that's why we only see on side. Aw the sarcasm! When you die I hope they put you in a coffin made of science books.U R A Stupid fucking religious conspiracy moron.

[nasafakedit]

@frog654456 the retard

A feather dropped on the moon in 1/6 gravity can not fall at the same speed as on the earth douchebag

mythbusters are propaganda spastics

[KABO5e]

@nasafakedit can you even consider, for just one second, that you are not correct? mythbusters debunked all of your claims of conspiracy claims(with video to show you how they did) , your arguments are foundless and you cant even apply the laws of physics to your claims. Just to be clear, do you believe that just the moon landings never happend or that the entire space program of NASA was faked? Why are you sane while I am obviously on drugs?

[KABO5e]

@nasafakedit the only "arguments" you have are that I am dumb, that I am corrupted by TV, that I am a monkey. Lets look at this from another angle, from here on, Earth is flat.

[nasafakedit]

@KABO5e you are dumber than dumb

but you are not alone as most humans are halfwits

who believe in the shit their criminal Govt puts on TV

[KABO5e]

@nasafakedit your just a fucking retard. its not my fault you cant see the reason for the earth being flat, if it wasnt people would fall off you monkey-tit-sucking-dog-ball-li­cking-brit-of-a-moron. stop reading your propaganda text books and get of the drugs! the earth is as fucking flat as your groin in the morning, fucking DUMBASS!!!1!

[nasafakedit]

@KABO5e LMAO so the true fuckhead eventually appears

You fucking stupid monkey

[nasafakedit]

APOLLO FAKED MOONLANDINGS

Moonlandings Filmed on planet EARTH

AREA 51 dreamlandresortdotcom

Directed by Kubrik

Written by von BRaun the Nazi

Produced by the US NWO Govt

and Disney (mickey mouse) Productions

Area 51 in nevada desert is were the fake moon landing took place, soviet satellite spy photos of area 51 revealed a series of hangers that resembled movie sound stages and

also barren moon like areas which are covered with craters.

[KABO5e]

@nasafakedit oh your god, every time you jump, do you jump the same height? do you put more force into your jump to make it over a fence than you would a rock? yes, so maybe they didnt put as much force into the jump, because the dont want to float away, because, as we ALL know there is no force to bring them back down again. And again, why would the hammer sink while the feather float away? i am still waiting on your answer.

[nasafakedit]

@KABO5e lol what a retard you are kid

You propaganda monkeys always use that excuse of force.

Its 1/6 gravity MORON

[KABO5e]

@nasafakedit one day, people will be able to buy a telescope that will be able to really see the surface of the moon from our backyards. when that day comes i implore you to purchase or borrow one and then explain to yourself how footprints, a rover, a flag, and other man made objects are on the surface of the moon.

[nasafakedit]

@KABO5e you should stop smoking that crack

The hubble which is 220 miles from earth cannot

even do that crackhead

[KABO5e]

@nasafakedit We once thought the earth was flat, that we were the center of the universe, that a device that could take a picture and transmit miles away to another device was impossible. Tech improves on a function and will eventually allow us to do this. Even if you could find a picture of the relics on the moon from hubble you would claim conspiracy, so the only way to shut people like you up is to see it for yourselves. unless you will then claim that its a hologram or something.

[nasafakedit]

@KABO5e your excuses are pathetic kid, take some more ritalin

[KABO5e]

@nasafakedit p.s. Area 51 is actually the US-Alien relations center. all the stages in the pictures are actually hangers for alien crafts, and the craters are from americans trying to fly are neighbors crafts but failing misearably. you can actually visit the center and fly a space ship!

[nasafakedit]

@KABO5e Have you been to area 1??

I wish you would go because you would be shot on sight

[KABO5e]

@nasafakedit Area 1? never heard of it... is it as much fun as Area 51? 51 is like a fucking "DREAMLANDRESORT(DOTCOM)"! Buzz Lightyear and those little green alien dudes are there! You also get to play this game where guys in army uniforms shoot at you and you have to dodge the bullets!

And to your other coment.... more force=more height less force=less heigt less gravity=less force required per inch+longer hang time unless you think he was lifted by a crane...... on the moon....

[nasafakedit]

Mythbuster Spastics

LOL if a feather was dropped on the moon it would float away into space you monkeys

[KABO5e]

@nasafakedit RIGHT! Because gravity is just a theory! just like evolution! Neither have any scientific proof what-so-ever!

[nasafakedit]

@KABO5e the moon alllegedly has 1'6 garvity of earth crackhead

but lmao @ a feather

[KABO5e]

@nasafakedit yes the moon has 1.6 of earths gravity. and by your "logic" why would the hammer sink and the feather float away? Are they not BOTH made of a substance called matter(aka molocules)? have you ever read the definition of gravity? Its basicly the pulling force of two (or more) objects towards each other. if lighter objects are repelled by heavier objects (this is what you think, right?) then how do small particles combine to for comets, planets, galaxies, and other celestial objects?

[nasafakedit]

@KABO5e no man has ever been to the moon retard

and 1/6 gravity is just nasas propaganda

a feather on the moon would float into space

[KABO5e]

@nasafakedit @nasafakedit You might also want to read up on newton's second LAW of motion....

[nasafakedit]

@KABO5e shill douchebag explain according to the newtons laws of motion how in 1/6 garvity the fake astronauts jumped at the same height as we do on earth?

[oratadin]

@KABO5e Yeah, it's JUST a theory! I have a theory too! That theory is 100% true because I says so without experiments or scientific critism! Who needs to write a darn scientific report to a science magazine! Only ignorant people do that, right?! My theory is that nasafakedit is so fat he don’t fit in this joke. Oh snap.

[nasafakedit]

@oratadin you projecting fatass?

Nasa fake science is a sick joke

[snowblind1985]

i'm sorry.. please correct me if i am wrong but it seemed like, in the replay (1:40 onwards), the hammer fell first.... is it because its not a perfect vacuum?

[vampov]

@snowblind1985 Human error. Because it's a fact they drop at the same time.

[sodddenvenus]

@snowblind1985 i see what u mean

[coolgenie1]

they should have pumped 10 atms of pressure and tried the same thing
