Why NIST Researchers Spent 10 Years Measuring Gravity
Physicists have been trying to measure the fundamental gravitation al constant for well over two centuries. The current accepted value of big G , as it’s known, is 6.67430 × 10 -11 cubic meters per kilogram per square second. It also has an uncertainty of ±0.00015 × 10 -11 m 3 /(kg s 2 ). As far as constants of the universe go, that’s very uncertain. Stephan Schlamminger Schlamminger is a physicist at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. Stephan Schlamminger recently completed a 10-year effort at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology to replicate an earlier measurement of big G from the International Bureau of Weights and Measures , or BIPM (located near Paris) that’s notably higher than most measurements. He spoke with IEEE Spectrum about why it took so long to get a number—6.67387 x 10 -11 m 3 /(kg s 2 )—and why it’s notably lower than the BIPM res
