Most impressive in the video is not even that pen and a heavy bowling ball fall at the same speed, and the reaction Cox and engineers. They knew how to end experience and what to expect. Many of them have already seen such an experiment on a smaller scale. But watching the pen and ball with fall from a great height, the scientists smiling and laughing like children.
