Could Galileo be wrong?

Abstract: The free falling of a neutral capacitor, though more massive after charged, would be slower. Thus, the claim of Galileo that neutral objects of different masses would fall with the same speed at vacuum is not always true. Nevertheless, the equivalence between gravitational and inertial masses would still be valid. Moreover, Einstein's equivalence principle, which has been misrepresented with distortion to become invalid by the Wheeler School, actually is generally valid, although the charge-mass repulsive forc… Show more

“…u The invalid speculation that E=mc 2 unifies mass and energy also prevails in university courses, such as the open Phys. 8 18,56,57 Because he has the same biased views as others, he omits crucial issues and overlooks errors in mathematics and physics [see footnote (m)] at the undergraduate level. He and others also believed the speculation that any energy would always create attractive gravity, but that, too, is invalid.…”

“…Moreover, this can be verified by simply weighing a capacitor before and after being charged [31,32]. Some experimental consequences are that a charged capacitor would fall slower than a stone [39] and there are capacitor lifters [31].…”
