When Galileo Galilei was alive, most scientists believed that heavy objects fall to Earth faster than light objects. Galileo conducted an experiment and found that objects of the same size and shape fall to Earth at the same speed, no matter their mass. What did Galileo most likely have to do in order to convince other scientists that his observations were correct?
A.
Keep the results to himself and wait for other scientists to conduct similar experiments.
B.
Conduct an experiment in which he tries to force one object to fall faster than a lighter object.
C.
Repeat the experiment multiple times in front of witnesses.
D.
