About2300yearsago,therelivedinGreeceagreatthinkernamedAristotle.Heobservedthatfeathersfelltothegroundslowly,whilestonesfellmuchfaster.Hethoughtitovercarefullyandconcludedthatheavyobjectsalwaysfellfasterthanlightones.Hisconclusioncertainlysoundedreasonale.Butwenowknowthatitisnottrue.

Then,almost400yearsago,anItalianscientistnamedGalileobegantoquestionAristotle'
