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

well if they changed it, it couldn't hide anything

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

Alright, @Fading has been warned for '**Bad word usage**'.

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

One of my research topics in Uni was redefining the kilogram using avogardo constant in spherical silicon balls

@Human Sheeple What would that have to do with being fake?

If gravity exists the Big G should be the same

You can redefine the wheel all the time, does that make wheels fake?
