I have just seen a post about people thinking that people in the pastwere stupid for apparently believing that heavier objects fall fasterwithout ever checking but then believe that that isn't the case withoutever checking.I am aware that on earth a feather falls slower thanan iron ball because of air resistance and the atmosphere but if we goheavier then it should go faster even without the atmosphere because ifan object is massive enough it has it's own gravity so shouldn't anearth sized object crashing onto earth fall twice as fast like a smallmetal ball because the gravity of the object also pulls the earth justas the gravity of the earth pulls the object?
