<HTML>Hi Alex,
If I understand it myself, it is one of those "mental anomolies" of physics, where what we would normally think is *not* what happens. Most people would *logically* think that the larger/more dense/heavier object would fall faster than the other one. But as long as the objects are large enough to not be significantly affected by the friction of the air, they *both* fall at the same speed and reach the ground at the same time. (Galileo's experiment at the tower of Pisa proved this and disproved the *Aristotilian* logic that had prevailed until then.) Just sort of emphasizing that Anthony is right... it's one thing to logically theorize in science... but until someone can say they tested that theory and it worked, it may be nothing more than good sounding logic!!! Of course, if anyone else disagrees and cares to correct what I have said, I have no problem with understanding it all better myself as well. It seems to require looking at the megalith as nothing more than a bunch of individual "magnet" particles getting individually pulled toward earth by a bunch of individual "magnet" particles from earth. Since each earth particle is pulling only one megalith particle, the total number of megalith particles has nothing to do with how fast each individual particle is being pulled (which is a constant for earth's gravity). Am I speaking Latin yet? ;-)
