Potential explanation for why things fall: gravity
Potential explanation for why things fall: buoyancy/density
Reason a slinky doesnt fall until the top half meats the bottom half: internal tension
Physics models where a slinky wouldnt fall until the internal tension is eliminated: both
you'll of course deny this, once again spitting on an easy out so that you can try (and fail) to use a NASA source to disprove something its not applicable to.
like i said, keep it up. you're fish in a barrel kid.

a slinky isn't a spring, because it holds no tension in its unmanipulated state
thats only 1 type of spring. lots of things have multiple types, such as humans. we're both humans and yet you have the brain of a common carp.
http://www.instructables.com/id/Types-of--Mechanical-Springs/i suppose they were paid by nasa to make that site just to "prove gravity", right? RIGHT? RIGHT?

The extension spring stretches apart to create load. They often have little loops on the ends to attach to things. You may find these on the screen door hinge, garage door hinge, and bouncy decorations that hang from the ceiling. The Slinky(tm) is a very weak extension spring.
would ya lookie there
