A feather "floats" because the density of the air molecules surrounding it is only slightly less than the feather itself. The air has a "resistance" which is applied to the feather as it falls, making it appear as though it is floating downwards. In a vacuum however, where no atmospheric molecules are present, the feather will fall as fast as any other object, regardless of mass.
