This show BLEW my mind wide open when I was five years old, and I was never the same. I credit IT with causing my genius. But the question is, was I drawn to this show because of pre-existing genius? Or was it just a fluke that I happened to be home, and at the right time of day watching tv during its short existence, and all credit goes to the illustrative brilliance of the animators and writers? Ah, the fractal. Ah, the chicken or the egg. Genetics or environment?

@jaden2455 All things fall at the same speed, it's just heavier things are harder to stop (as it said) giving the illusion the lead falls faster.

how cute is this cartoon!! :) just love it.

@jaden2455 Oops...the time required for the cubes to reach the ground should be the same, by Galileo's experiment on gravity, unless air resistance is also taken into account.

@jaden2455 You are comparing two different ideas. In the absence of air resistance, all objects fall with the same accel. (Galileo's Law of Falling Bodies) In general, heavier things DO NOT fall faster than lighter things. That effect has to do with an application of Newton's 2nd Law. Air resistance is dependent on mass, speed & shape. It isn't as simple as "heavier things fall faster". Lighter things can actually fall faster given the right parameters.

@unamonu For four years Excuse my typo.

@unamonu @skyarsalan was asking me if they still make these episode. I was lucky at that time because I was telling the station if they re-airing that show. It has not been back on the air or four years. @skyarsalan means, for example, every four or five years, the new edition of the textbook is released and the author or the publisher keeps revising and inserting newer information into the textbook. When u compare the latest edition 2 a 30 to 31 year old video, we aren't sure if its accurate.

@bubblebear83 There is no need for revision. Things like inertia, mass aso. haven't changed significantly in the last 30 years... :P
