• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real Ad from the 70's with Reddy Kilowatt⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is definitely not a real ad from the '70s. Reddy Kilowatt was a mascot created to promote electric power in the 1920s. Different versions of this image of been circulating on the internet for several years. Funny, but not real.

  It seems maybe you’re actually misunderstanding. As I mentioned above, both you and the other commenter are certainly correct that the surrounding atmosphere (water in your case) exerts force on the objects as they fall, with varying effects depending on object density. However, if you take two objects that have vastly more density than the water (let’s say a big tungsten rod and another tungsten rod that has a hollow core), they will drop at approximately the same rate in the water even if their density vs each other varies. The greater the difference of their density versus the density of the medium, the less the effect of the medium. Is there still technically an effect? Sure, but that effect is negligible from a human perceptual perspective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨yeah everything is probably made of like, idk, earth water, fire and air or something idrk⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While that is true, two properly selected objects (such as the ones mentioned above) can reduce the effect of air resistance to levels negligible to human perception, demonstrating that heavier objects do not intrinsically fall faster.

  I think a bowling ball would actually just be a solid topologically. The finger holes are just indentations rather than holes that go all the way through. IANAT, though.

  Technically no, this photographer is putting flowers under a blacklight and photographing them, resulting in a picture of basically what a human would see IRL in that scenario (aside from things like contrast/exposure variances, etc). It’s not really the same as what UV sensing animals would see. These photos are of regions of the flower converting UV light into human-visible visible light (via fluorescence, same thing as a blacklight poster). UV sensing animals are seeing actual ultraviolet being reflected by the flower as well as visible light, so it’s not the same thing.
