A Possible Interpretation on Distance-Dependent Effect of Gravitational Constant in Newton's Theory of Gravitation

Qian Shang-Wu

Abstract

Based on the new metric theory of gravitation suggested by the author of this article, it gives a possible theoretical interpretation on the famous experiment done by D.R. Long in 1976, i.e. the distance-dependent effect of the gravitational constant in Newton's theory of gravitation.
