the gravity is the same and will fall at the same time. except if the thing is flat, and there will be air resistance so it will go slower to the ground. eg : paper :)) add me on facebook hanifati sabilaa :p

Yes, Galileo agreed with the heliocentric view of the universe proposed by Copernicus, which placed the sun at the center of the solar system with the planets, including Earth, revolving around it. Galileo's observations through his telescope provided further evidence to support this model.
At the time of Galileo, the popular belief was that the Earth was at the center of the universe and that the Sun, along with all other celestial objects, revolved around it. This geocentric model was based on the teachings of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle and the astronomer Ptolemy.
Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer, physicist, and mathematician who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. He is known for his improvements to the telescope and his support for the heliocentric theory, which placed the Sun at the center of the solar system. Galileo's work laid the foundation for modern physics and astronomy.
Democritus came before Aristotle. Democritus (c. 460-370 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher known for his formulation of atomic theory. Aristotle (384-322 BC) was a student of Plato who went on to become a renowned philosopher in his own right, but he came after Democritus in terms of historical chronology.
Galileo got it right. But he had built a telescope so he had an advantage.

He basically said that heavier things fall faster. This is not true. Here's a reductio ad absurdum argument to show that it can't be true. Suppose that it IS true. Now drop a 10 pound cannonball and a 20 pound cannonball from the same height. Obviously, the 20 pound cannonball hits the ground first. (Remember, we're assuming Aristotle was right.) Now let's take a string and connect the two cannonballs. The twenty-pound cannonball will fall faster than the ten-pound cannonball ... until they pull the string taut. Now what happens? Does the heavy ball speed the light one up, or does the light ball slow the heavy one down? Do they fall at the average speed of the two? And how do the cannonballs know they're tied together so they know how to fall?

If he was right, someone else is going to be wrong.

right poperly
Aristotle really didn't make any discoveries. In fact, Aristotle may have been the WRONG-EST man who ever lived. His knowledge of chemistry was laughable; his physics were primitive. Aristotle wrote that heavier objects fall faster than light ones, which Galileo proved wrong 1500 years later.His incorrect writings about medicine and physiology may have killed more people than any other person. For example, Aristotle wrote that women have fewer teeth than men do. He was wrong. He was MARRIED; why didn't he ask his wife to open her mouth, and LOOK? Aristotle insisted that logic and philosophy outweigh evidence and experiment, which is entirely ANTI-science.Aristotle's pig-headed ignorance, and the insistence of his followers that Aristotle must have been right because he was so famous may have retarded the development of all the sciences for two thousand years.In astronomy, Aristotle insisted that the Sun, Moon and all the planets went around the Earth in perfect circles. Astronomers labored for 1800 years trying to figure out what sorts of circles, before finally accepting that Aristotle had been completely wrong.

Galileo Galilei
Aristotle is often considered Plato's best student. Aristotle studied under Plato at Plato's Academy and went on to become a renowned philosopher in his own right, founding his own school, the Lyceum. Aristotle's teachings greatly influenced Western philosophy and science.
