Why knocking is so important.

[Anomalocaris]

He, like you, was talking about net acceleration of an object, not the acceleration of gravity. He doesn't seem to have a clear understanding of what gravity does, and so lumps effects of gravitational force together with effects of other forces and treats them as an amorphous whole.

I did try to use correct wording on that detail, but I may not have made it evident enough.
And I can't remember if Drich was only talking about gravity's acceleration or some other... but, now that I write this... gravity came up as some sort of faith that Drich wishes to impose on us, right?

Well, to Drich's version of faith we have in science, I can tell you that Every year, thousands, if not millions, of university students are rehashing many of the pre-20th century experiments that yielded all the results we take for granted, today.... like Newton's gravitational constant; diffraction of light, radioactive decay, electron-positron annihilation (I know this one is from the 20th century), etc.
Heck, I did all of these.
So there you go, Drich, I don't take it on faith! I did the experiments and saw the results show up.

If one considers the acceleration of a falling object and would like to drag air resistance into it, then the shape and density of the object matters a hell of a lot more than ambient temperature. Look at a parachute vs a lead ball.

So the fact drip went on and on about effect of ambient temperature on air density, without once noticing the much more dominating effects of shape and density, shows he has zero native understanding of either the original problem of acceleration of gravity, or the spurious problem of drag he introduced to muddy the water.

When one tries to change the topic or inject unrelated factors to avoid exposing one's ignorance, one should use something one knows well. One should disguise stench with perfume. But drippy seem to not perceive the wisdom in that. He is apparently dumb enough to thinks he would stink less if he threw more shit.
