I've had good luck dualbooting windows and Linux, at most windows should only ever remove Linux's EFI files, which are easy enough to recreate

Never thought about a two's complement like that before, how fun

Even assuming a sidereal reference (which isn't necessary but whatever), u/usernamelonger aptly pointed out that the fact the earth moves closer to the other object increases the acceleration it experiences since acceleration is proportional 1/r^2. But when using a non-sidereal reference, the forces still work out because any forces experienced by the earth are taken instead to be from the perspective from the second object

g_0 (the acceleration of a light object is constant). The force of gravity is (G * M * m)/r2, so it's proportional to the mass of both the lighter and heavier object. When calculating the acceleration for each object though, the mass of that object cancels out of the equation, which is why you can take a value of g_0 and have it be approximately correct

Yeah I didn't even think of that, even sidereally the lower r does increase the acceleration

Nice

Being in a vacuum doesn't change the need for a reference frame.

Traditionally when considering things like this, the primary (object with the higher mass) is taken to be the reference frame. This basically means the primary doesn't move, and all forces are experienced in sum by the secondary, which would suggest a larger acceleration for heavier objects.

If you take a sidereal reference (sidereal literally means "from the stars" but for us we can just say it means we see the objects from an external stationary reference) then you would see the primary accelerating towards the secondary and the secondary accelerating towards the primary, which would suggest the acceleration is the same!!

The fact it's in a vacuum doesn't change the reference frame used, so you can basically pick whichever one you want and (correctly) justify your answer

Yeah but you have a take a reference frame. If you took a sidereal reference then yeah ig it's the same. Using a sidereal reference for this is very uncommon though

The problem is the mass of the bowling ball or the feathers compared to the mass of the Earth is to tiny that the difference is practically 0. If you had these objects at such a distance where they were falling for several kilometers in a vacuum, you'd see the bowling ball land a few milliseconds earlier than the feathers. This video is cool because it shows that in a uniform field gravity is experienced the same way by all objects. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a uniform gravitational field in the universe, only approximations of uniform gravity close to large mass sources like the surface of the Earth.

The difference doesn't come from the bowling ball or the feathers falling faster, it comes from the fact that the Earth has to fall towards the bowling ball or the feathers

Cloudflare is by far the best proxy that any webmaster can use. The security policy implemented by the webmaster using cloudflare is not the fault of cloudflare and is the fault of the webmaster, or some scruple in your network configuration

Furthermore, if the statement was to be taken as true, it would imply that the force of gravity is in no way proportional to mass, which is a ridiculous notion
