Galileo’s Laws Of Falling Bodies (1953)

The film discusses Galileo’s contributions to the laws of motion and gravitation, emphasizing that all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their weight. It recounts the legend of Galileo dropping objects from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to demonstrate this principle. The film recreates his experiments using modern technology, including slow-motion photography and timers, to illustrate the relationship between distance traveled and time squared. It concludes that Galileo’s work laid the foundation for understanding motion and gravity, even if the Tower of Pisa experiment remains a myth.
