The gravitational constant describes the intrinsic strength of gravity, and can be used to calculate the gravitational pull between two objects. The gravitational pull between two objects can be ...

IN the year 1884, Prof. Dr. Franz Richarz and Dr. Otto Krigar-Menzel commenced a series of experiments having for their object an accurate determination of the values for the constant of gravitation ...

IT appears that before the advent of the theory of relativity the constant of gravitation was purely empirical. No theoretical estimate or discussion of it has at any rate come to my notice. It is ...

One of nature’s venerable constants – gravity – may not be the same for every type of particle in the universe, suggest new calculations. The finding could explain a persistent mystery regarding how ...

Gravity, one of the constants of life, not to mention physics, is less than constant when it comes to being measured. Various experiments over the years have come up with perplexingly different values ...
