“Indeed, that is precisely what I mean, Master Helram.”

Lynn nodded, glanced around at the assembled crowd, then spun the newspaper in front of him half a turn and pushed it toward everyone.

“I don’t know if everyone has read this week’s ‘Magic Weekly,’ but the legendary Wizard Harrov has proposed that gravity might broadly exist within any object, not just the land beneath our feet.”

At this point, Lynn also felt somewhat emotional. After reading the ‘paper’ published in ‘Magic Weekly,’ he realized that this was essentially the rudimentary concept of universal gravitation.

It was just unknown how far this legendary wizard had researched… whether he had already developed the law of universal gravitation or whether he knew what the essence of gravity was…

Regardless, this would surely prove his theory, as this paper described gravity not merely as a force pulling downward but as something that could affect the surroundings and possibly even stretch and distort space.

“Lord Harrov’s argument is indeed magnificent and irrefutable, but using this alone as evidence to completely disprove the flat earth theory still lacks some persuasive power,” Helram said thoughtfully. Indeed, after reading the manuscript, he was more inclined to believe the flat earth theory was mistaken.

But Helram also knew that this was a theory capable of shaking the entire understanding of the world in Wizard Land. Once published in ‘Magic Weekly,’ it would undoubtedly cause a massive controversy, which made him cautious.

“I’ve seen your star charts, and the theories of rotation and revolution you mentioned are also quite interesting. I will send this theory to a few grand wizards who have made some achievements in the study of gravity. If they agree, it’s not too late to publish it in ‘Magic Weekly,’” Helram said solemnly.

“That’s certainly no problem. Truth withstands any form of scrutiny!” Lynn nodded. Everything he wrote in the manuscript was the purest theory, and having professionals confirm it was naturally better than great.

“Let’s leave the topic of the flat earth theory and spherical theory there,” Helram moved on from this topic, then took out another piece of paper and continued. “This law of free fall is also very interesting. Could you explain it in detail for me? If I’m not mistaken, it should also be related to gravity.”

“I think conducting an experiment would better explain the issue!” Lynn shrugged, as practice is the only criterion to test truth.

“Then according to this law, a feather and this dirt ball should fall at exactly the same rate!” Kevin, who had been listening to their conversation and could not find an opportunity to interject, spoke out eagerly.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

He admitted that the planetary theory developed by the Secret Magic Society could indeed stand on its own, but this so-called law of falling bodies was pure nonsense!

Kevin immediately used Mage’s Hand to lift the solid dirt ball from the table, and by the same method, he lifted the feather pen high into the air, then canceled the spell, causing both to fall from the same height.

In just two short seconds, the dirt ball smashed heavily onto the ground, breaking into several pieces, while the feather pen took more than ten seconds to gently land on the ground.

Seeing this result, the wizards present all looked at Lynn with either mocking or playful expressions on their faces.

“This is merely the effect of air resistance; why not try it in a vacuum?” Lynn said calmly. Having already conducted a simplified version of the ball experiment during his half-month drifting in the Mist Sea, he was naturally not worried about any mishaps.

Vacuum? The professors from the academy pondered this new term and, with Lynn’s explanation, quickly understood its meaning…

Helram thought for a moment, then asked everyone to step back and slowly extended his hand to lightly tap.

Lynn immediately sensed the “elements” in front of him being stripped away at an extremely fast pace by some inexplicable force, and moments later, a rectangular vacuum domain, four meters wide and seven meters tall, appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing how easily Helram had created and maintained a large vacuum domain, Lynn couldn’t help but feel a bit astonished.

Despite having sucked the oxygen from around him in the slums and having tricked that witch hunter, the reality was that the air was continuously circulating, and he had only created a small, temporary low-oxygen zone.

The power of a grand wizard was far greater than that of a regular wizard, Lynn had then ventured to test this, not expecting that the other party could achieve it so easily.

Helram had summoned a feather pen, and had magically created a solid iron ball, placing both inside the vacuum domain.

The two objects, differing in weight by a thousand times, fell at the same time.

The expressions of Theodore and others gradually shifted from casual to terrified at this moment, their eyes widening as they stared intently at the scene, because the feather pen and the solid iron ball were indeed falling at the same rate.

“It’s true, it really is true…” Philip murmured in astonishment.

“This can’t be! Master Helram, you didn’t speed up the feather pen’s fall, did you?” Kevin suddenly stood up, looking toward Helram, unable to restrain himself from asking.

This statement was undoubtedly a bit offensive, but Kevin clearly couldn’t concern himself with that anymore.

Helram didn’t pay him any attention and continued the experiment, replacing the iron ball and feather with other materials—wood, stone, water droplets… The results were all the same.

Seeing this, no matter how the professors felt, they had to admit that the manuscript’s law of free fall was the truth!

“Could it be that Master Yade’s theory is completely wrong?” Confusion lingered on Kevin’s face throughout.

“No, his theory isn’t wrong; it’s an interpretation of air resistance,” Lynn shook his head and said smoothly.

Yade’s theory had prevailed and gained the acceptance of most wizards precisely because it explained some natural phenomena.

For example, the knowledge of fluid mechanics used by his teacher Kro in improving the Frost Blade was based on an extension of Yade’s theory.

While flipping through “Magic Weekly,” Lynn even found that some wizards had integrated air resistance with gravitational effects and believed that air and elements moved continuously because of gravity.

This was undoubtedly a very confusing hypothesis.

However, Lynn would never mock or look down upon others for this, as the journey to uncover the truth of the world is always surrounded by numerous errors.

Whether in history or modern times, for the same physical phenomenon, scholars from various fields often propose many different hypotheses, each sounding reasonable and each able to explain parts of the phenomena.

It is only through the sedimentation of time and continuous verification that truth eventually triumphs over error.

The reason he could sit here and discuss freely wasn’t that he was smarter than everyone present, but merely because he was standing on the shoulders of giants…
