Two objects released at the same time would reach the center of an isochronous curve at the same time whether on Earth o on a planet with different gravity than Earth, correct?

Is it just a coincidence or a specific reason why several elements in the same group have the atomic weight/number of protons increased by 8, 18, or 32 to form the next element in the group? Is there a mathematical formula that uses atomic weight to determine its properties?

How/why would something going near the speed of light actually change in length? I get the time dilation, but not the effect on the object's size.
