The Law of Gravity Define

~

Galileo in 15th century, discovered that any object falling to earth, fall at the same rate of time . He mentioned that a cannon ball and a feather, if dropped from the same height will touch the ground at the same time provided there is no air resistance. He had difficulty explaining it for quite a long time and also unable to prove it visually.

4 centuries later with the current technology it has been experimentally demonstrated. 

Its a super visual treat to watch the video 👌
Please show it to your children .👇

The delay travel spell into a full break down of services.

It is a common since to see passengers battling to get up the buses due to the large human traffic. The train will also be pack like sardines when it started to resume operations.

It looks like the signal fault is creating an uphill task for the operator. There may be other issues which is not visible to us and unspoken by the staffs who are aware of it. We just have to live with it as LTA try its best to resolve the issue.
