What is a Singularity in Geometrized Newtonian Gravitation?
I discuss singular spacetimes in the context of the geometrized formulation of Newtonian gravitation. I argue first that geodesic incompleteness is a natural criterion for when a model of geometrized Newtonian gravitation is singular, and then I show that singularities in this sense arise naturally in classical physics by stating and proving a classical version of the Raychaudhuri-Komar singula...
متن کاملThe Newtonian constant of gravitation-a constant too difficult to measure? An introduction.
It is generally accepted that the magnitude of the force attracting two spherical bodies of mass M1 and M2, separated by a distance r, is given by Newton’s law of gravitation F = G M1M2 r2 . The constant, G, determines the strength of Newton’s inverse square law in a particular system of physical units and is, not surprisingly, known as Newton’s constant of gravitation. It is considered to be a...
متن کاملMeasuring the Newtonian constant of gravitation G with an atomic interferometer.
We have recently completed a measurement of the Newtonian constant of gravitation G using atomic interferometry. Our result is G=6.67191(77)(62)×10(-11) m(3) kg(-1) s(-2) where the numbers in parenthesis are the type A and type B standard uncertainties, respectively. An evaluation of the measurement uncertainty is presented and the perspectives for improvement are discussed. Our result is appro...
متن کاملMeasuring the Newtonian constant of gravitation with a differential free-fall gradiometer: a feasibility study.
An original setup is presented to measure the Newtonian Constant of Gravitation G. It is based on the same principle as used in ballistic absolute gravimeters. The differential acceleration of three simultaneously freely falling test masses is measured in order to determine G. In this paper, a description of the experimental setup is presented. A detailed uncertainty budget estimates the relati...
متن کاملGravitation and Experiment
The confrontation between Einstein’s gravitation theory and experimental results, notably binary pulsar data, is summarized and its significance discussed. Experiment and theory agree at the 10 level. All the basic structures of Einstein’s theory (coupling of gravity to matter; propagation and self-interaction of the gravitational field, including in strong-field conditions) have been verified....
