Galileo was first to demonstrate that all objects fall at the same rate in the absence of an atmosphere. As it is said that the Earth and the Apple fall toward each other but apple looks a lot to falls to the Earth as compared to the falling of Earth toward the Apple which is so tiny to be detected.
Let's imagine Earth is a homogeneous sphere and two identical apples start falling simultaneously from same ANTIPODEAN altitude in the absence of all other gravitational attraction including atmosphere.
So what would be the direction of accelaration of earth?
If net accelaration of Earth is zero in aforementioned scenario then would gravity "g" of two equal spherical spheres/ planets cancel each other if placed on each other?
