The value of 6.674e-11 is not 1% different from the accepted value, as claimed in the text. I can show the math for Cavendish's value based on his measurement of the density of the Earth, if needed, or you can see this reference for the 6.74e-11 value. undo

There is only one objection, which is repeated multiple times namely that the original purpose of the experiment was not precisely what we refer to as G. A simple re-normalization of his result to factor for the density of Earth produces G.

• curprev 17:2217:22, 22 November 2023‎ 24.4.107.105 talk‎ 23,934 bytes +11‎ This heading makes it almost disrespectful to Cavendish. Simply rearrangements or derivations of his result does not mean that he was not first to discover this fundamental constant of the universe and indeed by a great accuracy. Imagine someone making an edit to the effect that maybe Einstein didn't really discover Relativity since he was a clerk at a patent office regularly reviewing the latest scientific discoveries of others: "Whether Einstein discovered Relativity", equally dispossessing. undo
