Why does the fall speed of a body (attracted by gravity) not depend on its mass?

When a body descends in air or another fluid, what determines its acceleration is the gravitational force minus the friction, not its mass.

Vacuum-packed, please

‘Steamboy’ and the philosophy of science

In the West, our idea of animated cinema is very much influenced by the work of Walt Disney. In Japan, the animated film tradition (anime) is very different. Complicated plots that are often not clearly targeted at a child or adult audience and ambiguous characters. Eastern animated cinema can even dare to make a film speculating on the philosophy of science.
