Boy, I hate to be pedantic about this, but in a vacuum the heavier

That depends where they come from. If you pick up the feather
(leaving the stone on the ground), the stone's mass is part of the
Earth's mass.
If you then drop the feather and pick up the stone, the feather
becomes part of the Earth's mass for that experiment.

The total mass is the same.

But suppose the "stone" is half the earth!

If the feather and hammer are dropped at the same time and are next
to each other. otoh - if the hammer is dropped at the true north pole
and the feather were dropped at the true south pole...

Ahhh, but more importantly, is the feather from an African or European
swallow...

I don't know!

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!
thud

But suppose the "stone" is half the earth!

F=gmm/r^2 = (m+m)a

You're right. mm is a max when m&m are equal.

I make every effort to choose the proper adjectives and adverbs for my

most appropriate words for the thoughts that I am attempting to
convey...

Your use of profanity undermines any sense of responsibility
and dignity that might be conferred on airmen

Awh, perish the thought that someone reading this might consider
pilots merely human... Pilots come from all backgrounds... There's the
golfing ex- Air Force types and there's the cussing ex- Navy types...
I'm the latter...

Well, I guess I'm just old enough that I don't really care about such
things...

I believe in associating with class. Some of my best friends have been
thrown out of some of the best bars in town.
