Original Note:
The note is factually wrong. This is the Brachistochrone cruve. The straight line is not faster precisely because of gravity. The steeper fall of the curved trajectory gives the ball more acceleration, and so it reaches the bottom first. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachistochrone_curve https://youtu.be/ECUBDmZgrEQ?si=y91m8nRZKMX5tAtI https://youtu.be/MBSRPuUibxk?si=7S-5_5gjtRmL5cHH
