One scientist’s 10-year quest to calculate the strength of gravity
SMRTR summary
After 10 years of work, physicist Stephan Schlamminger published a new measurement of "Big G," the universal gravitational constant. His result, 6.67387 × 10⁻¹¹, was slightly lower than the current standard, meaning scientists still can't pinpoint G's exact value — possibly hinting at undiscovered physics.
