ABSTRACT

The Newtonian G r a v i t a t i o n a l Constant, "G", has probably been measured more o f t e n but , i n t e r e s t i n g l y , w i th l e s s p r e c i s i o n than any o t h e r phys ica l cons tan t of fundamental importance. I n an e f f o r t t h a t has spanned more than a century t o connect g r a v i t a t i o n t o t h e o t h e r fo rces of na tu re , over 200 experiments on G have been completed and repor ted ; bu t many of them have not been repor ted i n what would now be considered t o be t h e open l i t e r a t u r e . This paper is an at tempt t o c a r r y MacKenzie's and Poynting 's b ib l iog raph ie s forward from t h e 1800's t o t h e present ; and thereby inc lude a s many a s poss ib le of t h e experimental r e s u l t s on G t h a t have been obtained s i n c e 1900.

I. In t roduc t ion

I f one were t o ca ta logue t h e t o o l s of p rec i s ion measurement, a n unusual ly high number of t h e l i s t i n g s would claim a s t h e i r genes is t h e p rec i s ion measurement of t h e Newtonian G r a v i t a t i o n a l Constant, h e r e i n simply r e f e r r e d t o a s "G". These t o o l s would inc lude t h e t o r s i o n balance, t he o p t i c a l l e v e r , t h e qua r t z f i b e r , synchronous d e t e c t i o n techniques, u l t ra -h igh p r e c i s i o n r o t a t i o n s and many o thers . Yet G s t ands alone a s t h e only fundamental cons tan t c u r r e n t l y known t o l i t t l e b e t t e r than one p a r t i n a thousand although t h e r e a r e t h r e e measurements claiming accurac ies of one p a r t i n t e n thousand. I n p a r a l l e l with t h e s e e f f o r t s t o measure t h e a b s o l u t e va lue of G, t h e r e has a l s o been a wide v a r i e t y of experiments aimed a t l i n k i n g t h e g r a v i t a t i o n a l fo rce t o t h e o t h e r fo rces of nature. A l l such e f f o r t s t o d a t e have had t h e s i n g u l a r l y unique r e s u l t of demonstrating t h a t g r a v i t y , indeed, s t a n d s alone - t h e l a s t of t h e g r e a t c l a s s i c a l mechanisms - i n s p i t e of i t s modernized p re sen ta t ion v i a genera l r e l a t i v i t y .

C l a s s i c a l g r a v i t a t i o n a l physics has been l i k e t h i s , and foreseeably w i l l cont inue t o be l i k e t h i s . The reason why is t h a t , t o t h i s da t e , no one has succeeded i n i s o l a t i n g s u f f i c i e n t l y well t h e g r a v i t a t i o n a l i n t e r a c t i o n between l abo ra to ry masses t o t h e poin t where o t h e r d i s t u r b i n g fo rces o r experimental u n c e r t a i n t i e s do not dominate t h e measurement, a t l e a s t a t l e v e l s above those a t which o t h e r phenomena might be expected t o occur.

11. Experimental S tud ie s and C r i t i c a l Analyses of G

1. Measurements of t h e Absolute Value of G and Reports of Important Subs id i a ry Technology

The h i s t o r y of t h e measurement of t h e u n i v e r s a l g r a v i t a t i o n a l cons tan t begins w i th geophysical s t u d i e s of a r e l a t e d phys i ca l q u a n t i t y , t he mean d e n s i t y of t h e ea r th . These e f f o r t s s t a r t e d with a t tempts t o measure t h e a t t r a c t i o n of i n d i v i d u a l mountains, measurements of s t r a t a of t h e e a r t h ' s c r u s t a s a func t ion of depth i n var ious mines, and they a r e cont inuing wi th measurements of t h e a t t r a c t i o n of l a y e r s of water i n l a r g e l eve l - con t ro l l ab l e l akes and i n t h e oceans.

Chronological ly , t h e t o r s i o n balance methods came next , and t h e s e gave the most r e l i a b l e r e s u l t s u n t i l t h e advent of t h e t o r s i o n pendulum technique. The balance-beam methods were s tud ied during t h e l a t e 1800's, and today a l l t h r e e of t h e s e methods a r e being developed i n experiments aimed a t accu rac i e s of one i n lo5.

Numerous miscel laneous methods have a l s o been developed. These inc lude resonant t o r s i o n pendulums, v e r t i c a l pendulums, near zone g r a v i t y wave d e t e c t o r e x c i t a t i o n , and long period h o r i z o n t a l pendulums. There have a l s o been s e v e r a l proposed s a t e l l i t e de te rmina t ions of G, but so f a r no such measurements have a c t u a l l y been made (al though s p a c e c r a f t have been important i n measuring t h e time r a t e of change of G and t h e geocen t r i c cons t an t , i . e . , G x M e a r t h ) '

The e a r l y works on G, p a r t i c u l a r l y those of Cavendish, Reich and Bai ly, have been reviewed hundreds of t imes, and t h e p r i n c i p a l papers of t h e s e workers a r e summarized and paraphrased i n most undergraduate textbooks on physics . There a r e , however, about 60 o t h e r de te rmina t ions of G t h a t a r e i n t h e open l i t e r a t u r e . Some of t hese a r e w e l l known too, p a r t i c u l a r l y those of Boys, Poynting, Braun, Hey1 and t h e Reams- Deslattes-Luther-Towler c o l l a b o r a t i o n between t h e Un ive r s i t y of V i r g i n i a and t h e U.S. Nat ional Bureau of Standards.

Of t h e l a t e s t works, t h e r e a r e t h r e e t h a t c la im accu rac i e s nea r one p a r t i n t e n thousand. They a r e summarized i n Table I. The agreement between t h e va lues is only f a i r , however, even a t t h e 10'~ l e v e l .

This would probably occur somewhere between t h e 10'~ and 10'~ l e v e l . A t t h a t po in t , a t o t a l l y d i f f e r e n t approach t o t h e measurement of G w i l l become necessary.

G = (6.6720 + 0.0041) x 10'11 m3kg'1s'2.

2. Important Comments and Reviews of Measurements of G

There a r e fou r thorough reviews of t h e measurements of G: two d a t i n g t o t h e l a t e 1800's and two more r ecen t ones. Poynting and, l a t e r , MacKenzie summarized t h e contemporary knowledge of G and, f o r t h a t ma t t e r , a l l of g r a v i t a t i o n a l physics , i n books p r i n t e d i n 1894 and 1900, r e spec t ive ly . Sagi tov (1969) r e c e n t l y publ ished a s i m i l a r work on G, a l though he omit ted many r e fe rences t o experiments probably judged by him t o be of secondary importance. Most r e c e n t l y , de Boer (1982) has con t r ibu ted a review a r t i c l e which ca ta logues t h e r ecen t major experiments and p re sen t s t he r e s u l t s and u n c e r t a i n t i e s t o g e t h e r on e a s i l y readable graphs. There a r e s e v e r a l o t h e r reviews of t h e experiments, and these a r e l i s t e d i n t h e bibl iography. It should be mentioned t h a t each success ive e d i t i o n of t h e Encyclopedia Br i t ann ica a r t i c l e s on "Gravi ta t ion" con ta in i n t e r e s t i n g and r e l a t i v e l y thorough s e c t i o n s on G t h a t a r e very use fu l .

3 . Measurements of G r a v i t a t i o n a l Permeabi l i ty o r Absorption

Although not widely known, one of t he most thoroughly researched a s p e c t s of g r a v i t a t i o n a l physics i s t h e ques t ion of t h e ex i s t ence of a g r a v i t a t i o n a l analogue t o magnetic permeabil i ty . The p u r s u i t of t h i s ques t ion , i .e . , t h e dependence of G on t h e d e n s i t y of t h e ma t t e r i n t e rven ing between t h e i n t e r a c t i n g masses, began with a n u l l r e s u l t i n t h e l a t e 1800's. It cont inued u n t i l r ecen t t imes, always wi th n u l l r e s u l t s , but with ever- increasing accuracy. We now know t h a t i f g r a v i t a t i o n a l energy is, i n f a c t , absorbed by any in t e rven ing ma te r i a l , i t occurs a t a l e v e l such t h a t , when measured i n terms of G, t h e r e s u l t i s ( A G / G ) ~ ~ , < 10-16.

A t f i r s t t he se measurements were made by employing a Cavendish balance wi th a c y l i n d r i c a l s c reen s e p a r a t i n g t h e suspended dumb-bell from t h e a t t r a c t i n g masses. Each screen was made of a d i f f e r e n t type of m a t e r i a l , and a l l t h e ma te r i a l s had d i f f e r e n t d e n s i t i e s . The screens were s e q u e n t i a l l y changed and the measurements of G subsequent ly made were analyzed f o r a r e s u l t i n g e f f e c t . La t e r , Majorana began a long s e r i e s of experiments using a balance-beam and claimed t o have found a r e s u l t a t t h e 10'11 l e v e l , but subsequent work by himself and o t h e r s disproved t h i s . The most s e n s i t i v e measurements have been made i n r ecen t times by s e v e r a l workers s tudying t h e period s h i f t i n h o r i z o n t a l pendulums during a t o t a l s o l a r e c l i p s e . I n every case , however, t h e r e s u l t s have been n u l l except f o r t h e r e s u l t s of A l l a i s and, l a t e r , Sax1 and Allen which a r e seldom discussed.

Unless a new theory p r e d i c t s a permeabi l i ty e f f e c t s u b s t a n t i a l l y d i f f e r e n t from t h a t empi r i ca l ly sought s o f a r , i t i s d i f f i c u l t t o s e e where the motivat ion would a r i s e f o r new experiments i n t h i s area..

4 . Measurements of t h e Local D i r e c t i v e Action of t h e G r a v i t a t i o n a l Force

Since so many p r o p e r t i e s of c r y s t a l l i n e ma te r i a l s depend upon t h e d i r e c t i o n of observa t ion (e.g. r e f r a c t i v e index, l o c a l d e n s i t y d i s t r i b u t i o n , thermal conduc t iv i ty , e t c . ) , i t seemed reasonable t o

ques t ion the constancy of G w i th in c r y s t a l l i n e m a t e r i a l s a s wel l . This was f i r s t done by MacKenzie, then l a t e r by Poynting al though no an iso t ropy i n t he va lue of G was found i n e i t h e r case a t = 10'~ and 10 '~ l e v e l s , r e spec t ive ly . Hey1 d id an exhaus t ive experiment i n t h i s a r e a i n 1924 and, by weighing c r y s t a l s from each of t he f i v e non-isometric groups, was a b l e t o put a l i m i t of (AGIG),, = thereby e f f e c t i v e l y

It has been suggested t h a t one should not expect t o f i n d such a n i s o t r o p i e s i n gene ra l because they would l e a d t o a v i o l a t i o n of conserva t ion of momentum. Nevertheless , t h e weakness of t h e g r a v i t a t i o n a l fo rce and t h e s i n g u l a r p r o p e r t i e s of some c r y s t a l s made t h i s , t emporar i ly a t l e a s t , an a t t r a c t i v e a r e a of research .

5. Measurements of t h e Dependence of G on t h e Phys ica l S t a t e of Masses

This ca tegory is a r a t h e r gene ra l one, a l though it is poss ib l e t o c l a s s i f y var ious types of experiments w i t h i n it. S p e c i f i c a l l y , t h e r e have been measurements of G involv ing t e s t masses and a t t r a c t i n g masses of var ious geometr ica l shapes. For example, spheres , cy l inde r s , rods, r i n g s , and i r r e g u l a r masses have been used. I n f a c t , a c y l i n d r i c a l con f igu ra t ion having t h e sphere- l ike f i e l d of a po in t source is p re sen t ly under s tudy. A t t r a c t i n g and t e s t masses i n t h e gaseous, l i q u i d and s o l i d s t a t e have been ( o r a r e being) s tud ied , as w e l l a s masses which undergo a change of s t a t e during t h e experiment. I n a l l c a ses , no depa r tu re from t r u e constancy of G has been observed, a t l e a s t wi th in the l e v e l s of t he experiments ' p rec is ion . When one cons iders t h a t t he sun, a plasma, and i t s p l a n e t s (gas , s o l i d and l i q u i d combinations) have o r b i t s which conform p r e c i s e l y t o t h e Inverse squa re law (with only minor r e l a t i v i s t i c c o r r e c t i o n s ) , it i s seen t h a t t h i s l a w is indeed we l l obeyed. The r e fe rences c i t e d he re a r e r e p r e s e n t a t i v e examples of var ious types of experiments involv ing gases , l i q u i d s and s o l i d masses of var ious shapes. Some of t hese c i t a t i o n s a r e l i s t e d i n o t h e r more appropr i a t e s e c t i o n s of t h e b ib l iography too.

Severa l workers s tud ied t h e i n t e r e s t i n g ques t ion "Does G va ry while t h e t e s t mass undergoes a chemical r eac t ion?" but, i n a l l cases , e q u i l i b r a t e d o r r e a c t i n g , n u l l r e s u l t s have been obtained. This a r e a has not been without cont roversy , however. C.F. Brush claimed t o s e e a d i f f e r e n c e i n pendulum per iods between pendulums made of bismuth and those of zinc. H i s observa t ions were u l t ima te ly explained by a lack of i n c l u s i o n of t he buoyancy of a i r i n h i s c a l c u l a t i o n s .

Although not s t r i c t l y belonging t o t h i s category, t h e experiment of L. Kreuzer (1966), a t Pr ince ton , is included he re because it has been i n t e r p r e t e d by some a s providing evidence f o r a v a r i a t i o n of G over t h e elements of t h e p e r i o d i c t ab l e . This c laim was subsequently r e fu t ed , but caused some i n t e r e s t a t t h e time.

7. Measurements of t h e De~endence of G on T e m ~ e r a t u r e

Ear ly i n t h i s century , t h e r e were two a t tempts t o measure w i t h balance-beams a dependence of G on t h e temperature of t h e a t t r a c t i n g masses. They both produced n u l l r e s u l t s but were nonethe less open t o d iscuss ion . This was so f o r two reasons. F i r s t , t h e r e were well-known d i f f i c u l t i e s i n experiments wherein two masses a t d i f f e r e n t temperatures were used i n a high-precis ion balance; and second, t h e unknown thermal p r o f i l e of t h e e a r t h immediately below t h e balance would seem t o make an exac t r e p e t i t i o n of t h e experiment impossible, because any thermal dependence of g r a v i t y would presumably a f f e c t t h e e a r t h ' s f i e l d too (and how can one c o n t r o l t h e temperature of t h e e a r t h ? ) .

P ro fe s so r Shaw and h i s s tuden t s , t h e r e f o r e , cons t ruc ted a Boys- type balance i n which t h e a t t r a c t i n g masses could be heated. They measured G and analyzed t h e i r d a t a i n t h e form G = Go(l + aT). A t f i r s t

they found a = loe5 O C ' ~ . This r e s u l t c rea ted g r e a t i n t e r e s t and s e v e r a l papers were w r i t t e n d i scuss ing it. A c a r e f u l r e p e t i t i o n of t h e i r o r i g i n a l work showed, though, t h a t a f t e r removing troublesome convect ion e f f e c t s , a < 2 x 10'~ O C ' ~ , which e f f e c t i v e l y s e t t l e d t h e i s s u e i n t he negat ive . There do not seem t o have been any o t h e r experiments fo l lowing t h i s one. Perhaps t h i s is because it was r e a l i z e d t h a t t he l a r g e temperature d i f f e r e n c e between t h e e a r t h and sun, when compared wi th t h e much sma l l e r d i f f e r e n c e between t h e e a r t h and moon, should have h igh l igh ted t h e ex i s t ence of t he e f f e c t . I n s t ead , both o r b i t s serve only t o v e r i f y t h a t t h e inve r se square law is, i n f a c t , independent of temperature. I n ques t ions of t h i s type, however, s c a l e f a c t o r s may be important ; and even though Poynting's and Southerns ' balance-beam experiments ( l abo ra to ry s c a l e ) i n t h e e a r t h ' s f i e l d produced n u l l r e s u l t s a t t h e 10'~ l e v e l , Shaw's experiment wi th i s o l a t e d g r a v i t a t i o n a l fo rces ( a l s o a t l abo ra to ry s c a l e ) was 2 000 times l e s s s e n s i t i v e than e i t h e r of t h e i r s . So t h e r e may s t i l l , perhaps, be e f f e c t s t o be discovered.

Seve ra l famous p h y s i c i s t s have worked i n t h i s a r e a , i nc lud ing G. Sagnac, P. Zeeman, A. Compton and J.J.

A l l o t h e r measurements a l s o produced n u l l r e s u l t s , except f o r t h a t of R.

9. Measurements of t h e Dependence of G on t h e Electromagnet ic Energy Content o f Masses

A t t h e same time as the sea rches f o r a r a d i o a c t i v i t y - g r a v i t a t i o n a l f o r c e coupling were under way, t h e r e w a s a p a r a l l e l e f f o r t i n progress aimed a t f ind ing an e l ec t romagne t i c -g rav i t a t i ona l coupling.

These searches t y p i c a l l y involved weighing samples of s t e e l i n magnetized and unmagnetized s t a t e s o r charged and uncharged s t a t e s .

The very much l a r g e r s i z e of t h e e lec t romagnet ic fo rces always makes experiments of t h i s kind very d i f f i c u l t , and c a r e f u l a t t e n t i o n must be paid t o t h e s h i e l d i n g of undes i rab le e lec t romagnet ic coupl ings t o t h e l abo ra to ry which would o therwise make t h e r e s u l t s ambiguous.

The pas t decade has seen a g r e a t d e a l of research i n t h i s a r e a , and most of t he e f f o r t was motivated by t h e work of D. Long a t Eas te rn Washington Univers i ty .

H i s p o s i t i v e r e s u l t produced g r e a t i n t e r e s t and motivated about t e n groups t o undertake experiments of t h e i r own, most of which now claim n u l l r e s u l t s . The fundamental importance of t h i s ques t ion has caused i t t o remain open, however, and both t h e o r e t i c a l and experimental work w i l l probably cont inue f o r some time t o come.

Here too , experiments have been done on many s c a l e s of d i s t a n c e , ranging from 2 cm up t o s e v e r a l ki lometers . There have been ana lyses of t he f r e e o s c i l l a t i o n s of t h e e a r t h i n terms of how they might be inf luenced by a non-zero G(R); and on t h e s t i l l l a r g e r s c a l e , t h e motion of t h e p l ane t s has been seen t o confirm t h e inve r se square law t o a n amazingly high p r e c i s i o n (except f o r t h e previously mentioned r e l a t i v i s t i c c o r r e c t i o n s ) .

The major i ty of t he l a t e s t experiments have been designed t o b e high s e n s i t i v i t y n u l l measurements, although t h e e a r l y work (and t h a t of Long) i n s t e a d involved measurements of t h e abso lu t e va lue of G a t two o r more d i f f e r e n t mass spacings. While a workable scheme i n p r i n c i p l e , t h e abso lu t e measurements a r e u sua l ly burdened with l a r g e d r i f t s and me t ro log ica l d i f f i c u l t i e s . This sometimes makes t h e i r r e s u l t s open t o ques t ion .

Measurements of t h e Dependence of G on Time

Perhaps no o the r a r e a of g r a v i t a t i o n i s of g r e a t e r i n t e r e s t t o t h e o r i s t s and cosmologists than t h e p o s s i b i l i t y of v a r i a t i o n s of G i n time. There have been many t h e o r i e s c a l l i n g f o r a time-varying G, each having i t s own impl i ca t ions on t h e behavior of ma t t e r and r a d i a t i o n a t t he e a r l y moments of t he universe.

Here again, the experiments f a l l i n t o t h e t h r e e f a m i l i a r c a t e g o r i e s of l abo ra to ry , geophysical and astronomical . I f such an e f f e c t e x i s t s , i t is agreed t h a t i t must be very, very small; probably on the order of E/G = 10'11 Few labora tory t e s t s of any kind have been done a t t h i s l e v e l , and i t is not s u r p r i s i n g t h a t t h e e x i s t i n g l a b o r a t o r t e s t s of t h i s e f f e c t a r e l imi t ed a t t h e l e v e l of E/G = 10q Severa l experiments wi th t e s t masses have been proposed f o r both ear th-sur face and o r b i t i n g l a b o r a t o r i e s which should be s e n s i t i v e t o t he p red ic t ed 10'11 changes, but none has y e t been completed.

The geophysical t e s t s have usua l ly involved s t u d i e s of t h e expansion of t he e a r t h o r i n v e s t i g a t i o n s of a pa leobio logic type. While t hese provide cor robora t ing evidence, they a r e not u sua l ly accepted a s hard proof because of t he many unce r t a in f a c t o r s involved. Wesson's con t r ibu t ions a r e t he most complete i n t h i s a r ea , and h i s book "Cosmology and Geophysics" (1978) should be consul ted f o r a thorough review of geophysical i n v e s t i g a t i o n s of e / ~ .

The t h r e e astronomical t e s t s of t / G a r e now i e l d i n g s i m i l a r r e s u l t s and seem t o show t h a t E/G - -(6 f 2) x year-1. These t e s t s include: (1) lunar l a s e r ranging from MacDonald Observatory i n
