So would a mountain attract a small ball bearing (perfectly round) if it was on a perfectly level pane of perfectly flat glass?
i suppose it would. do you have information on something that has happened otherwise?
I have no information of that ever happening in any fashion. Seems like it would be a better experiment that the Cavendish experiment...
i kind of agree. it seems like there should be more instances of cavendish in every day life experiences.
I recenty saw a video of somebody who set a dumbell down and it slowly rolled toward a stack of weights.
not enough people actually running experiments these days. not enough mr. wizards of the world.
