its Newton's Third Law, and well established science taught in every science classroom in the country. look it up if have to. I'm pretty sure Sir Newton took the forces of gravity into account when he discovered it.
please show me a real world example or experiment where one object can completely destroy another object made of the same material and mass, using the force of gravity alone, without destroying itself in the process, while falling at the same rate of speed of the twin towers. with smooth acceleration all the way through, without jolts or interruptions.
would be incredible if you could show us something like that. you would get the Nobel Prize for proving Mr. Newton wrong.
