If the gravitation has very very tiny deviation from inverse square law!our solar system became unstable? If so ,how long people on the Earth can notice it?
Thank you in advance!
Thank you in advance!
Many physicists are involved into theoretical and experimental considerations of this issue.If the gravitation has very very tiny deviation from inverse square law
It is true that we may deduce from simplified equations (say, a two-body problem) that only the inverse square law provides for stability (unless my memory is false on this issue).!our solar system became unstable?
That would be wholly dependent upon how strong the instability actually is (if there is one at all!), so any figure would be mere guesswork.If so ,how long people on the Earth can notice it?
The inverse square law is a principle in physics that states that the force of gravitational attraction between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This means that as the distance between two objects increases, the force of gravity between them decreases.
A deviation from the inverse square law refers to a slight variation or departure from the principle that the force of gravity between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This could mean that the force of gravity is slightly stronger or weaker than expected, or that the distance between the objects is not exactly squared.
The exact amount of deviation that is possible from the inverse square law is not known, but it is believed that any deviation would be extremely small. Scientists have not observed any significant deviation from this principle in their experiments and observations.
There could be several potential causes for a deviation from the inverse square law. One possibility is the existence of additional dimensions in our universe that affect the strength of gravity. Another possibility is the presence of large, dense objects that can warp the fabric of space-time and alter the strength of gravity.
If a deviation from the inverse square law were discovered, it would have significant implications for our understanding of gravity and the laws of physics. It could potentially lead to new theories and explanations for the behavior of objects in the universe. It could also have practical applications, such as helping us better understand and predict the movements of celestial bodies.
