So I usually read, that the falling speed of an object towards the earth is independant of the mass of the object. Is this actually true? Shouldn`t the earth fall towards the object as well, therefore invalidating the first statement?

I realize that this would not be measureable for objects we can test this on ourselves, unless one uses the moon or similar for calculations.

    In this context Free Fall :) If something is in free Fall inside the earths gravitational Field I would assume the reverse is also true, meaning the earth is inside the objects gravitational field. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_fall – Andy Sep 08 '19 at 11:44
