SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the possibility of formulating an equation that defines gravity in relation to a constant, specifically expressed as g = ? x constant. Participants express skepticism regarding the feasibility of such an equation being established in the near future. The conversation also touches on the implications of gravity in different contexts, such as in regions of space where gravity is constant or in hypothetical scenarios involving sub-Planck dimensions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of gravitational theory and constants
  • Familiarity with concepts of sub-Planck dimensions
  • Knowledge of theoretical physics and cosmology
  • Basic principles of measurement in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of gravity in theoretical physics
  • Explore the concept of sub-Planck dimensions and their significance
  • Study existing gravitational equations and their limitations
  • Investigate the role of constants in physical equations
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, cosmologists, and students interested in theoretical physics and the nature of gravity.

Hello all, i was just wondering if there ever will be or, could be an equation that describes gravity in relation to a constant, ie, g = ? x constant.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I would not count on it anytime soon...highly unlikely..
In the absence of gravity, g = 0. ...
Possibly in another universe...
or in a region of space where gravity is constant...
maybe its a constant in sub Planck dimensions...
but we'd likely not be able to measure it very well..
