Physics as science has two famous individuals intrinsic, to what physics is. One of them is Galileo Galilei, dropping two cannonballs of different sizes to prove a theory. Generations later, Albert Einstein had a part in the theory of relativity (ToR), objects fall at the same speed.

To find out if both Galileo and Einstein were correct, the object was dropped from satellite height. It was concluded that both had correction assumptions, no mistake about it. The velocity of the objects was two-trillionths of a percent, not far apart.

Despite the accuracy of the two-famed physicists, and Einstein's ToR is accepted by the scientific community. But, more are looking it the nooks and crannies for something that is "not" settled about it. It seems the norm for most scientists to pick at accepted notions and models until there are no more questions.

The big reveal, why all the nitpicking and uncertainty is that something is missing in the big picture. Science can be analogous to swiss chess, with too many holes that represent the uncertainty of how the cosmos works. Humankind is not so easily satisfied until all answers are complete.

Peter Wolf of the French National Center for Scientific Research's Paris Observatory. Made relevant remarks that capture what it means by not knowing how everything works.

Between quantum mechanics and general relativity which is that well-studied but obscure concept. But it gets a tailspin when the physics and calculation of the two, and even general theories are there. It is on the shaky ground most of the time and attempts to correlate both are not panning out.

One of the most celebrated and confusing parts of the theory of relativity (ToR) is the existence of dark matter or energy. All efforts to find this exotic framework of the universe have no proof (we've seen black holes).

Dark matter is everywhere, and it cannot be seen, even invisible to our most complex tools to see gamma rays popping everywhere. Maybe an indicator of dark matter is gravitation, still a small effect on the matter though. What if two objects of different massed do fall at different velocities? Then it might be dark matter influencing it.

To settle the question, scientists placed two cylindrical objects that are titanium and platinum, locked inside a satellite with a controlled environment. The test was conducted and here are the particulars of the said experiment.

a. Both objects were different masses to mirror Galileo's experiment.

b. The satellite was free-falling without forces influencing it.

c. Both cylinders were in an electromagnetic field, then dropped in a period of 100 to 200 hours.

d. How the cylinders were kept in place in the magnetic field to measure its fall.

e. A conclusion that was reached is both had the same rate of falling.

f. It was repeated for two years and in the exact conditions as before each simulated drop.

Conclusion

These experiments confirmed the finding of Galileo and Einstein'sassertion based on the theory of relativity (ToR). Just of the experiments trying to dissect the nature of the universe, also scientist is attempting more related experiments to test the extremes of knowledge.
