First Sentence

While living in Pisa, Italy, Galileo Galilei is said to have dropped differently sized masses from the 'leaning tower' in order to demonstrate that they would all fall at the same speed a prediction at odds with the conventional Aristotelian view that they would fall at different rates, the heavier ones reaching the ground first.
