Ah okay not as low as I thought
That's one order of magnitude LESS than copper
However Teflon has a conductivity of 10^-25 S/m which makes Lead 31 orders of magnitude better conductivity
hi good morning Human
nice
So if we use the same mass for the balls and they attract at the same speed it proves gravity and disproves Sheeple's 6 law
I kind of came into this discussion late so all I really now is we're not trusting the Cavendish experiment for some reason
Something to do with electricity I guess
Which is cool, who is gonna build the apparatus?
@Fading Sheeple suggests that the Cavendish experiment is not a result of gravity but the rods nearing the lead balls via static electricity
The Cavendish experiment is alright though keep in mind that usually you ought to work with no external forces such as friction or torque which isn't always the case
@The Gwench Send full pfp please
ha i was watching Arwijn show too
@Bannebie can you clarify what you mean by "work with no external forces"?
@Fading Sheeple wants me to do it in the dark too lol
Didn't Cavendish also do it in a pretty isolated thick enclosure which was then inside a building he stood outside of?
Aka ideal environment. The classic *weightless string, no friction, assume π=3* stuff
So how exactly would you do that, considering that is precisely what you said, _ideal_ ?
Lead balls are the only problem according to Sheeple and that can be easily accommodated for
Also aren't there better versions of the Cavendish experiment anyway? My education is hazy but i thought it was improved upon later
There should be a gazillion of them
right there should be 15 different ones we could look at
Looks like Charles V. Boys improved upon the design
if they changed the Cavenderp experiment
Google it
maybe tehre is
Google scholar pls
So you get actual papers and not esoteric blogs
I doubt there are any 21st century scientists still working on cavendish
On Cavendish itself, no
But similar experiments
Yes but it's a question of accuracy, not about whether or not it exists
Redefining constants is a hot topic in science right now
Iirc the gravitational constant we have _poor_ accuracy for
Big G is constantly being redifined
relative to the other constants
@Hamburger Guy in other words gravity is fake
Man it's hard to not trigger the bad word bot
So we would take Big G from lead and then Teflon Hexane and compare them
