The bowling ball isn’t falling to the earth faster. The higher perceived acceleration is due to the earth falling toward the bowling ball.

I'm pretty sure bowling balls and feathers fall all the time
I think they mean the vacuum part.
To which I'd add that we had astronauts perform this experimentally on the surface of the moon.
Also, I've seen a video of an experiment done in a vacuum chamber. (Although they kind of botched the point of the video by showing lots of slow-mo and junk like that.)
True fair enough, but since I'm here, being an internet clown, I might as well double down...
Obviously heavy and light objects never experience gravitational attraction in a vacuum throughout the vastness of the universe. Clearly F = G(m1m2)/R^2 only applies to objects in earths atmosphere.
