Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 bbc.in/iPlayer-Home Brian Cox visits NASA’s Space Power Facility in Ohio to see what happens when a bowling ball and a feather are dropped together under the conditions of outer space.
In this episode, Professor Brian Cox explores our origins, place and destiny in the universe. We all start our lives thinking that we are at the centre of the universe, surrounded by our family and the world as it spins around us. But the urge to explore is strong. Brian tells the story of how our innate human curiosity has led us from feeling that we are at the centre of everything, to our modern understanding of our true place in space and time - that we are living 13.8 billion years from the beginning of the universe, on a mere speck of rock in a possibly infinite expanse of space.

I love the fact that they know exactly what's gonna happen but still find it marvelous when it happens.
Shows that atheists are not nearly as sure as they pretend to be. In fact, sure of nothing.
They spend money and 3h of their time just to film this. Idiots, they don't need chamber this big, and best of all it is a cornerstone law of physics, so better believe it and go to the pub.
It is the most satisfying thing in science to predict something and then see it follow your prediction
@@metroid1 Of course.
@@g4macdad Wait so only atheists believe in gravity?? I really don't understand what atheism has to do with this video. But if ur wondering why scientist make a smile when theories gets proven correct, its simply the fact that in science u have to prove to be right. Even tho we know pretty much 99% that a theory is correct we still have to test and prove till we truly know the facts. On the other side we have people like u, who i assume is religious. Would u say believing a book written by who ever 1000+ years ago is being critical? Sure u can believe it, that's up to u and i have no problem with that. But in science we actually try our best to look for the facts and explore this wonderful world and universe. If everyone was just gonna read one book and not keep looking for new answers we would not be here on a computer watching this video right now. U should never underestimate the importance of science. And also, there are multiple scientists with religious beliefs.
Imagine Galileo seeing it he would have cried watching this amount of beauty.
Wasn't Newton the one who predicted that a feather and a brick would fall down at at the same speed if air resistance wasn't present?

Absolutely fascinating. Makes me wanna become a scientist. You can see how enthusiastic they are about it all makes me smile and its one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen
Being a scientist or an engineer is a very rewarding career. A lot of frustration and issues to solve but when you get something to work as you intended, the joy is immeasurably satisfying!!!
You should give it a try! The world could always use another scientist!

Everyone has seen an object in slow motion falling slowly, yet that's what you chose to show instead of the object that never falls fast falling as fast as a bowling ball. Good job.
Everyone's saying their teacher forced them to watch this but I came here myself....
Same
LOL me too
Same lol,there is no more beautifil thing than be passionated and curious about science,in every form it takes
Q: What if there was an exterior magnet that balanced the middle in-between magnets g-force rotation around center magnet? 😁 Also my opinion on gravity is that exterior of planet earth is the condensed pressure on to earth pushing objects down that are not closest to its properties (likes attract) oil and water separate and decide position from the greater amount of mass that surrounds the smaller volume of mass. Is this possible? Please explain. Thanks

Watching in 2022 because Rajwant sir said to.
Why did they show it in slowmo only? I'd have loved to also see it in real time :(
Seeing a feather drop to the ground as fast as a bowling ball would've been the much more interesting shot IMO

I’m sorry but what every person wants to see is a sheet of A4 paper go down perfectly straight and not do flips

and do not slow it down and show the same slowed down footage 17 times...

True, a sheet of paper would be more impressive.

I can't believe they never showed it fall at full speed! We've all seen bowling balls and other heavy object moves in slow motion...that's not unusual at all. But to see a feather fall quickly from that height without it being disturbed by air around it, that's novel! And yet the editors chose to leave out that footage entirely. I feel robbed!
they did show it towards the end pay attention
gonedeadforlife You got a timestamp? Cause I never saw it fall in real time.
Tony Bullard 4:13 they show it a little enough to see what it looks like
4 minutes and 41 seconds, and only about 3 quarters of a second, in a super wide angle, is at actual speed. Very lame.
Completely agree. Right from the first second of the video, that was the footage I was waiting for. Pretty disappointing.
Thinking of how Newton and Galileo would react to this, seeing their lifes work in action, puts a lump in my throat , they were two astounding human beings.
Well, they observed it right but explained it wrong. It was actually Einstein

Is there a real time version of the feather and ball dropping, I think it'd be far more interesting for the viewers to see the feather drop at the same rate as the ball, not just in slow motion
that would be like an actual video now wouldn't it, asking for too much
This is one of the most beautiful video I have ever seen. Years and years of humans pushing their knowledge just to understand the working of the universe in a much better way.

@@KissMyFatAxe This test didn't answer the question if things are upside down how that things are attracted towards the planet

The fact the second drop was shown in slow motion actually bugged me more than it should.
its 2016, you can make the video run at normal speed yourself.
It's 2017 ;)
Mikes8899 Earth is flat , BBC lies!
you never know, maybe it was sped up!
I am a free thinker like einstein. he would propose that if you can change the speed of the video feed then it is impossible to deduce what initial speed the ball was falling. perhaps without an atmosphere the pressure would cause gravity to have less of an impact, we do see the ball struck the card board at significant force though that is is probobaly not the case, but without a reference its impossible to say for sure. some other interesting observations.
2:53 shows 1 ball 1 feather starting to drop, then next clip is ball and like 7 feathers? ok odd..... then at 4:16 the feather shows much more wind resistance and the ball dropping faster than the feather. and then back to the 7 feathers and 1 ball clip. so badly edited
Couldn't even insert 2 seconds of normal speed clip? Wtf
Rahul Bondar look for the full documentary idiot. You’ll find that they do show it at normal speed. Don’t Rely UA-cam showing you everything you want to see.

+Bruce Baxter such sarcasm, much wow
QB Machine
Yes, the ball is slowed by the vacuum so that it keeps pace with the feather
All that work and you never bother to run it at normal speed. Which would sell the whole element of heavy and light moving at the same speed. In slow motion it just seems dreamy and unreal. I don't get why people have a hard time getting this. Show both slow and normal speed if you have slow motion.
+FleaOnPeanut They wont show it in live speed because they can't. its a crock of shit and they know it which is why they are laughing their tits off. people have well and truly duped if they believe this crap.
Ah, right. This is why I shouldn't post comments on youtube. Thank you for reminding me. For the record I do like this video, and my gripe was with a technical style choice. I won't respond after this comment. Take care.
+FleaOnPeanut The slow motion is there so you can clearly see that they are travelling and accelerating at the same ratio. And of course... for dramatic effect. I agree on that part that they should have showed it at normal speed at least once.
+FleaOnPeanut Modern Science has to be fluffy and dreamy. Personally, I want real and I want facts.

The bowling ball will fall faster in a vacuum than in air, both the feathers and the ball are slowed by air resistance.

Hi
are you girl ?
It's amazing how a crazy scientist named Galileo gave this theory 400 years ago.
Actually the concept is obvious! But we can not see! Do you know how Galileo discovered this? Because he made fall a small iron ball of 10 grams and a paper also of 10 grams from the same high... and he saw that the ball still to arrives in the floor before than paper. So, this means that is not about the weight!!!!
@@lucadipietro2310 Of course its a theory, but that test didn't prove his thought that air resistance was the cause of objects falling at a different rate. The definitive test he made was to create 2 iron balls of different weights but of the same diameter. In this case, both the balls fell at the same speed and that's the proof that Galileo needed to show how the concept works.
@@thevigamerpixerlator what is so bad if it is a theory a theory and a hypothesis are different
@@jonahjerryson4913 I agree, they are. A hypothesis is an assumption based off facts that you may infer to. A theory on the other hand, is a proven answer that is done through multiple testing procedures. That is literally what I was saying.
@@thevigamerpixerlator oh sorry my bad
even though I already knew what would happen it still felt so beautiful
Do you know its dangerous to be in a low room?
The music
Same here our teacher suggested this video.😊😊
I think what I love most of all is how all the seasoned NASA engineers are still nerding out about it. They put men on the Moon, the concepts involved in this experiment are child's play for them. But seeing a bowling ball and a feather fall at the same time, seeing that visceral smack of the feathers and watching the equations you use everyday come to life is still special.
IF, you were inside this vacuum chamber and you wanted to first toss the bowling ball and feather up to the height where they fell from, then obviously the Force required for the upward proper acceleration on the bowling ball would need to be much greater than the force required for the proper acceleration on the feather. After they reach the same height they fall at the same rate regardless of their masses. That is because there is no force downward when an object is in the coordinate acceleration of free fall. The same experiment can be done in an accelerating spaceship.
I teach 9th grade physics, and this video actually confuses my students. This film is the absolute best experimental demonstration of freefall's independence of mass, but it has one confusing point. The film shows the evacuated drop only in slow motion, never in real-time. As a result, most of my students believe that removing the air from the chamber makes both objects weightless and drastically slows down their acceleration. Even though I tell them repeatedly that the video is in slow motion, we know that students often don't listen to what we tell them, instead believing their eyes.
Many of my students write things like this: "Reason why bowling ball and feather hit the ground in same time in vacuum chamber is because less air mean less force which seem like they standing stell and going very slowing down" [sic]
This video would be much better for students if they first showed the real-time video of the vacuum condition before showing the slow motion video, just as they did in the first experiment (with air).
> This video would be much better for students if they first showed the real-time video
Yes, maybe... However, the entire fall takes less then 3 seconds, so that it would be difficult to observe that the two bodies are perfectly synchronized all the time...
just put a small piece of paper over a notebook, then drop them to the ground, the notebook will remove air resistence behind it and the piece of paper won't be affected
@@magoninhogamer
> just put a small piece [...]
And what will this prove?
@@alexleibovici4834 The much lighter paper (feather) without buoyancy/drag coeficient of medium fall at the same rate as the much heavier notebook/book/object. If the paper & notebook is drop side by side the fall rate is significantly differ due to CD of medium. The same principle can be used to safe gas/energy by tailgating a larger vehicle or in race your opponent car/bycycle/etc, or bird formation for lengthy flight.
@@supeskrim
> The much lighter paper (feather) without buoyancy/drag coeficient of medium fall at the same rate as the much heavier notebook/book/object.
This is a completely different phenomenon that the one presented in this video. The one in this video is purported to show that the acceleration of a body does not depend on its mass IF the only force acting on it is gravity.
These guys who have been managing this multi million dollar structure are still fascinated by how this known principle of gravity works. That’s what I love about scientists. They are genuinely amazed by their field every time.
That is exactly what makes me suspicious. Their amazement would have faded away long ago, yet they pretend to be amazed for the camera. I get the host, presumably this is his first time...but the others? Seems odd.
If you want to doubt it, y don’t you try to find out for yourself? Instead of taking the easy way out and leaving a comment on a UA-cam vid.

+Karim You keep posting the same comment on every thread. So, listen up -- 1.37 seconds is PLENTY OF TIME. The human mind is capable of tracking motion that occurs over a second, ffs. You're basically arguing that if someone dropped something off the roof of a house, it's trajectory would be invisible to the human eye.
The decision not to show the entire drop of both feathers and ball at real speed the whole way through is just baffling (and stupid).
It's gorgeous how a brilliant man gave this theory so many years ago and without be able to verify it with such advanced tools
He was so brilliant that if you read his paper, he actually says, this is what happens but I have no idea why?

Bart Tricas I asked myself the same question xD
Angel Faudoa Did you get an answer?

TBH it seemed like a waste pumping out 30 tonnes of air just to drop a couple feathers and bowling ball.
Bart Tricas Haha i was also thinking about all the costs, even when they closed those giant doors i was thinking about elecrtricity costs.
Bart Tricas The electricity is irrelevant, the facility and the people cost the most!
There is a rope holding the ball I can see it at 3:18! also, the strand on top of the ball is pointing up the whole time. In reality, it would flop over after the release. something is still pulling on that strand to keep it pointing upward.
How could it make such a deep hole in that box at 3:19 if being held back by a rope? Its speed and thus kinetic energy was clearly about the same as during the test drop (1:45) before the air was removed. Also note how the feathers _bounced_ at impact after the second drop, proving that they fell at a much higher speed than they could possibly do in an atmosphere.
@@fromnorway643 ..they could have detached the rope in the last few seconds, and let it hit with some impact. feathers bouncing more? eh, that could just have been a coincidence. maybe they just landed in a different way to cause that the 2nd go 'round.

I get seeing it in slow-mo, but why the hell would the editors keep the viewers from seeing the whole drop at full speed? Wouldn't seeing a feather drop that fast next to the bowling ball be one of the best parts of this experiment? Not really sure what they were thinking.
Because it's a preview clip and they want you to watch the whole show.
a "preview clip"?? at the end??? cognitive dissonance 101.
Which part of the concept are you struggling with? That this clip is an edited down preview of a 60 minute show or that it's edited to entice you into watching the other 56 minutes?

+Jay Bluff What are you talking about, even if that was true why would they show the balls falling at a different rate after they have shown them fall at the same rate just before...

can u explain me why feather moved it "hair" at the beggining of falling down? i wonder
@@merihim666 I notice this detail and I don't have an exact answer, but I suppose that this is due not being a perfect vacuum.
Editing: found another 2 comments here:
1) "Inertia."
2) "For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction. As the feathers accelerate from zero the parts that you see move are actually still standing still until they are acted upon. While it looks like they are moving up they are actually being pulled down. Once all parts of the feather reach the same speed there will be no movement."
My conclusion: the feather is not a rigid body, and the feather undergoes sudden acceleration. The softer parts are flexible, and react to this.
@@merihim666 it’s not a perfect vacuum, there is still a small fraction of air in the chamber causing small amounts of feathers to flutter

Physics students after neglecting Air Resistance and seeing this video: This whole operation was your idea, don't blame me!
Air resistance doesn’t play a factor, does it? Clearly this vid shows that it does. But I was thinking about flying from the equator over the North Pole and back to the equator on the other side of the earth. The plane took off we a relative speed of the earths movement at 1000 mph, some how slows down to nearly nothing at the North Pole then manages to regain that lost speed? Also on take off the plane is getting the rotational force of the air on one side of the plane, then once past the pole it’s on the other side of the plane. Do we just not fly over the North Pole due to this? I see pilots keep it simple and assume a “flat and stationary earth”. How the heck can they do that if the atmosphere is moving one way then the next once over the pole? Just trying to learn here. Thanks
Yes how u gessed me i would partner to galileo !
Just started reading Deep Simplicity by John Gribbin and searched for "objects falling on airless moon" and came right through to this video. Remarkable! Just fell in love with Science once again.
IF, you were inside this vacuum chamber and you wanted to first toss the bowling ball and feather up to the height where they fell from, then obviously the Force required for the upward proper acceleration on the bowling ball would need to be much greater than the force required for the proper acceleration on the feather. After they reach the same height they fall at the same rate regardless of their masses. That is because there is no force downward when an object is in the coordinate acceleration of free fall. The same experiment can be done in an accelerating spaceship.
THIS IS MAGNIFICENT
We have people like these doing amazing things and then we have the flat earthers. The quality of human is so inconsistent.
I don't think we should consider such a high-praise as to call a "flat-earther", a human.
Flat earth is psyops so you can lump them in with people who have legitimate questions. Id like to se them shoot a rocket in there hanging from a string
the quality of human is also subjective. im sure as far as the universe is concerned both flat earthers and physicists are both equal and merely different
and we have religious fundamentalists, especially Islamic ones, who want to destroy science.
Ya we have people asking questions of the established world view kinda like martin luther newtom and people like the founding fathers! I dont. Believe in flat earth but asking questions does not make you a lesser human in fact it can make you a great human you negative troll!
Plot twist: The feather was a paid actor
LOL
It's probably in reverse
that was funny. OH how the flatards must hate this video.
You r a gee
also i think the air was paid to dip
it really does look like its being lowered down using some sort of string up until it comes in contact with the ground though lmao
Beautiful.

Brian Cox's face is stuck in a permanent smile )))
@Eric Schmidt no one cares lol
I love my uncle 💗
@alex gilmour You know he has a PhD in Physics and works at CERN right?
elijah cox no way?!!
That's because his face is full of Botox to make himself more appealable children.
1:03 - love the way the subtitle writers have capitalised The Force! May it be with you all.
Who is here after Rajwant sir?😃
P.W. OP❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️
@@Satironical_Guy yup
Me
Still one of the best videos on YT and will be for a very long time!

I enjoyed the one second they showed it in real time. Other than that, what the fuck man? It's so less interesting in slow motion because that's not how we would actually see it.
applesgosh That's exactly why it was presented in slow motion on purpose. In real life, the objects would be falling too fast for human perception to simultaneously 1) track and 2) detect any change in form, such as relative distances of the bowling ball to the feathers, and the feathers moving or bending, etc. You don't get much useful data out of something if you can't properly see change happen; real-time would be an imperceptible blur to the mind.
SpiritHawk7 Dude we can all tell the difference in distance and speed between a feather and a bowling ball falling in real time. That one second was way more impressive/interesting to watch than watching it multiple times in slow motion. All I wanted to see from this was one full drop in real time, but they ruined it and slowed it down mid-fall, successfully crushing my dreams.
applesgosh you're so right. I ONLY watched this to see something my brain knows as lightly gliding to the ground (feathers) falling as fast as a bowling ball. THAT would be a mind-blowing sight. such a shame - bad editing
applesgosh Yeah, absolutely with you on the editing. They could have squeezed that one second of real-time footage in for this 4 min epic, but no...
applesgosh YES. I watched this on another site but went to UA-cam specifically to see if anyone had made this comment.
this brings tears to my eyes every time I see it.
Wtf how😂
Why tf
i too
Honestly it's the great production value. The music teamed with the slow motion is meant to evoke an emotional response, combine that with the fact that you are clearly involuntarily celebrate and you have tears from observing 8th grade science experiments.
From all physics experiments I EVER saw, this is the most beautiful and amazing experiment. Thank you so much Brian for such an amazing demonstration of the power of vacuum. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Was it provided that both the bowling ball and feathers had the same weight ?
No, since their huge different mass is the essence of the experiment. The bowling ball is much more massive then the feathers, instead in vacuum they "fall" exactly the same.
Power of vacuum? Strange view. It is just "nothing". So we just see gravity working in the vacuum experiment. It is the air that has "power" in the non-vacuum experiment.
@Sebastian -> It all depends on the reference frame that you are. In a way the air has the power of adding friction with its particles, while on the other hand the vacuum "has" the power to remove all friction by the absence of any particle. The expression "power" was used in its philosophical sense, not in its physical meaning. It was just an expression of WOW, how amazing vacuum can change the behavior of objects...
IF, you were inside this vacuum chamber and you wanted to first toss the bowling ball and feather up to the height where they fell from, then obviously the Force required for the upward proper acceleration on the bowling ball would need to be much greater than the force required for the proper acceleration on the feather.

Simply Breathtaking! 💜
what's wrong with you BBC why can't you show the video in normal speed huh?
@Jim Harol I'm no racist but it bugs me that they didn't show it in normal speed
Maybe to show the fall more clearly... because you know it is on Tv and they were probably too lazy to make a normal speed video for youtube

It would have fallen at 9.8m/s^2, the drop would be over in a second.
2,4000 flat earthers were triggered by this video.
And this does not prove or disprove a flat earth. It only shows that air resistance or density is the reason that they fall at same speed. This begs the question can we use 9,8m/s as a standard to measure gravity? I think not.
@@christobotha1700 Actually the reason they fall at the same speed is due to gravity, which is measured in m/s^2, not m/s
Christo Botha m/s^2 sir, if you know what you talking about then you can explain otherwise just don’t...
@@christobotha1700How exactly does falling at the same speed in a near-vacuum prove that air resistance is the reason they fall at the same speed?
@rvidal0001There are circular slits in the dome where the strings come down through for the Sun and the moon. The Sun has a long lasting Duracell battery and the moon runs on cell phone batteries which is why we get 75% moon, 50% moon, etc. Above the dome, the strings are attached to a carousel operated jointly by Eric Dubay, Mark sargent, Nathan Oakley, and Jeran.
Brian Cox♥️♥️
It's so beautiful, but I wish we had the video of the feather and the bowling ball falling at normal speed and then watch them fall at slow motion.
2:19 I feel like this would be in a movie idk lol
The villain planning to make the whole world a perfect vacuum..! !
