Measuring Gravity: Aint Nothin but a G ThingPosted on: August 26, 2010 12:25 PM, by Chad Orzel Theres a minor scandal in fundamental physics that doesnt get talked about much, and it has to do with the very first fundamental force discovered, gravity. The scandal is the value of Newtons gravitational constant G, which is the least well known of the fundamental constants, with a value of 6.674 28(67) x 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2. That may seem pretty precise, but the uncertainty (the two digits in parentheses) is scandalously large when compared to something like Plancks constant at 6.626 068 96(33) x
