this smells like classwork. *move please*

gravity is a material that slows things? reread that sentence and think for a sec.

I saw a video not too long ago on how to drop an egg from a height. http://www.makezine.com/blog/archive/2007/02/egg_drop_make_v.html"

Can you explain the question. It's totally vague.
