It falls faster, not slower. For instance, if one object is the mass of a small rock, it will fall with an acceleration of around 9.8 meters/second^2 near the surface of the Earth. If the other object, on the other hand, is the mass of the sun, it and the Earth will fall into each other at a much greater acceleration -- namely that which corresponds to the acceleration of gravity that would be encountered around an object the mass of the sun at a distance from its center of gravity equal to the distance of the Earth's center to the object's center of gravity. (Never mind the extreme tidal effects). According to your theory, if you stick a planet the size and mass of the Earth near the sun, the sun will never fall into the Earth-like planet (i.e., the two bodies will never fall into each other) because the sun's mass would be way beyond that threshold where you deemed objects would no longer be acted on by the Earth's gravity.

It falls faster, not slower. ----------------------------------------- No. It's his theory, he can make it do whatever he wants and you haven't shown otherwise, you stupid snipping prick.

How so? Measurement is the final arbiter. |
