    To be fair to Archimedes, heavy objects do usually fall faster than light ones*, and to be fair to Newton, stuff coming towards you usually has a higher relative velocity than things going away from you.+

    *You need your objects to be weigh a lot relative to their air resistance to notice otherwise.

    +You need some pretty ambitious equipment to detect that electromagnetic radiation such as light does not follow this pattern.
