FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Galileo’s Falling Bodies and
Lagrange’s Trojan Asteroids
With Their Tadpole and Horseshoe Orbits
Total Re-Write of Earlier Study of Falling Rate Difference, New Title
2002 Feb 10
How did Newton
— and every scientist since — miss the fact that his theory
predicts that lighter and heavier bodies — a la Galileo — will generally
fall at different rates?! The fascinating exception is when they occupy
Lagrangian points (L4 or L5, the equilateral triangle points of the Trojan
asteroids predicted by Lagrange).
And there’s more:
ironically, both Galileo and Aristotle were both wrong...
Directly
or by way of the
Science section.

And more yet: Einstein,
too, overlooked that Newton’s theory predicts that lighter and heavier
bodies will “fall” together at different rates when released in
separate trials. Einstein’s theory of relativity requires that lighter
and heavier test particles “accelerate” at the same rate. Is there an...
oversight in Einstein’s theory of relativity?! (See release blurb for
Einstein’s
Great... Oversights.)
