  But that doesn’t make the bowling ball fall faster to a distant observer, just the earth fall twords the ball. To an observer on earth it would appear to fall faster though.

    Yeah, I think the meme is intended from the perspective of an observer on Earth.

    The ball’s acceleration is identical to the feather’s, but it’s fall ends up shorter.
