Quick Question
Some people claim that relative density explains why objects fall. However, in a near-perfect vacuum chamber, objects still fall even though the remaining air is so sparse that it has almost no effect on the object. How can this observation be explained?

all you did was decrease the density of the medium. the objects are still denser
Air is less dense than the objects. The medium adjusts up and the more dense object adjusts down. Change the medium to a little less dense and it's the same.
There is still air in a vacuum chamber but not a lot.
