What’s Faster? Usain Bolt Or Gravity? [VIDEO]

Undisputed fasted man alive, Usain Bolt, is fast. Really fast. The New York Times has already compared him to every other 100m athlete that’s ever run in the 100m event, but how would he compare against something that isn’t human? Like the force of gravity?

YouTube channel MinutePhysics, has taken on that very question – and the answer? Is Bolt faster than gravity? Well, sort of. Essentially, he’s as fast over ten metres as a diver heading straight down over the same distance, but check out the video.

Insane.
