Does the Torricelli Vacuum Experiment Prove the Strength of Vacuum Forces?

[Rotating Wave]

G is not the magnitude of gravity. It is the magnitude of the gravitational force.

$G_k$ is the gravitational constant. It is NOT the equivalent of $a$ in $F = ma$.
The dimension of $G_k$ is length³ x mass^-2 x time^-2, units Nm²/kg².
The dimension of 'a' is length x time^-2, units m/s² .

And 'm' is a mass, in kilogram, NOT the product of two masses divide by the square of their distance: the latter has a dimension kg²/m², which is incomparable.

Ok. I see! Thank you. I guess I have more studying to do.

In a textbook you can find the equivalent you are seeking:

If we use the mass and radius of the earth, we can write $$g = {G_k\, m_{\text earth} \over r_{\text earth}^2}$$ and THEN $g$ is an acceleration and $mg$ is a force.

Yeah, I need to study more. It makes sense. I appear to have concepts mixed up. I didn't realize G_k had a different dimensional property though, now I can see how I should have known from reverse engineering the math.
Ok. So it looks like I'll be hitting the basics again to solidify the concepts.

answers: nothing ( !)
Actually there is a very low pressure water vapour. So low that it's a vacuum for our perception.

I disagree. A vacuum contains all the laws of the universe. It may be in the form of fields such as the Higgs field. That's a lot more than nothing.

Don't forget dreams, hope and charity.

I wholeheartedly disagree, but you are entitled to your opinion. Any experimental evidence ?

I think I get what Standards guy is saying. Space is a vacuum and holds all of the laws of the universe (because it basically IS the universe), so any artificial vacuum - like Torricelli's - would have those same traits, including fields.
In that case, space is the experimental evidence of a vacuum having all the laws of physics.
I think that's what they were saying...
