In this forum, you can be bailed out at any given time when you stumble into a scientific discussion. Gotta love it!  |

Not sure who this Fryon is... but it is quite impossible to quantify a person.  |

Re: # of members ?
Is the gravitational constant really constant?

To the best of my knoweledge, within a given system of units (e.g. metric: meters, seconds, kilograms; "English": feet, seconds, slugs) the gravitational constant is constant. However, we have only had the tools to measure it for a fairly short period of time, and only on Earth.

And around earth, and all over the solar system, and all over the galaxy...
If the gravitational constant was different over at alpha centauri, for example, then the stars would be orbiting each other at the "wrong" speed.
PS: And, variables can also be functions in certain cases.

Re: # of members ?
Wait I thought that there was only Fyron. At that the rest of us are just sub personalities or figments of his imagination.

Re: # of members ?
No silly, we are all Puke. 
And the gravitational constant is indeed constant everywhere. We may not have the exact value down to the nanometer (and probably never will), but that doesn't really matter. |
