Heavy Objects Fall Faster

>"heavy objects fall faster than light ones" >none cares to check if this is true for 2000 years

A screenshot-style forum post shows a bust of Aristotle beside the claim that heavy objects fall faster than light ones, followed by the observation that nobody checked whether it was true for 2,000 years. The joke refers to Aristotle’s famously incorrect physics and the long delay before Galileo challenged it, making it a reaction to unexamined assumptions and confidently repeated misinformation.
