Time variation

[edit]

The "controversial" suggestion about a 5.9 day variation in G is not worth including. There is better evidence against it than for it. Plus, it is theoretically unsupported.

I suggest removal.

The astronomical evidence against time variation of G is worth mentioning. Wcmead3 (talk) Wcmead3 (talk) 04:09, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Discrepancy in G measurements

[edit]

This is an intriguing puzzle that has persisted for several years. If there is significant research reported that helps resolve the matter, it should be described and referenced in this article. Wcmead3 (talk) Wcmead3 (talk) 04:15, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gravity as a force

[edit]

Newtonian gravity is a force in the usual sense of forces but, with general relativity, gravity is not a force, right? It instead determines curvature. To what extent should we be careful using the word "force" in this article? —Quantling (talk | contribs) 12:30, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
