Since this part of the conversation was left here while the earlier follow-up was moved
elsewhere, I presume it's part of the discussion.
G is not constant. Please explain.
That is odd; physicists seem to disagree with you.
The constant of proportionality in this equation is G - the universal gravitation constant.
They also disagree with Pongo, too, then.
I'll answer one question, as is my wont. The earth is accelerating at a constant of 9.8 meters/second squared. This gives the impression of 1G. No need to be squished.
From
your link discussing the value of G:
Today, the currently accepted value is 6.67259 x 10-11 N m2/kg2.
6.67259 x 10-11 N m
2/kg
2 != 9.8 meters/second squared. The units aren't even the same.[nb]For those not familiar with the notation, '!=' is used to denote 'not equal' in some programming languages.[/nb]
At any rate, moving past jroa's confusion about Pongo's use of
G when he meant
g in his Answer to the last Question in the OP for this thread in the Q&A discussion board:
Pongo: If the entire earth is accelerating upward at 9.8 m/s
2 why is g not constant everywhere on or near the surface of the Earth?
