| Re: Is there an absolute Principle?
Dear North:
So far as Truly Yours can see, you're employing Aristotliean (intuitive, inductive) thought.
Galileo, as the Founder of Experimental Science, superceded Aristotles conclusion regarding the presumption that heavier, larger objects fall faster than lighter, smaller objects.
We are addressing the equivalence of inert and heavy (inertial & gravitational) mass, here.
It is the foundation of General Relativity.
Best regards,
