spheres and discs and hoops

The more heavy objects will roll faster as they are more affected by gravity. Owing that all three are made of the same material. IE- A lead ring very likely would roll down faster then an aluminum sphere of the same total material volume.

Those nasty Apollo astronauts were just in on the Galilean conspiracy.

cool! i didn't remember that.

when i was in school we dropped a baseball and a tennis ball down a stairwell, the tennis ball took a lot longer to hit the floor.

later on their was a suicide in my building's stairwell, but he didn't have a clean fall all the way to the bottom, and nobody was timing it anyway.

Really? Gosh, all of physics must be wrong. The only thing that causes objects to fall at different rates is their shape and consequently drag. In a vacuum all objects accelerate at the same rate regardless of mass or shape.
