ABSTRACT

The gravitational constant discovered by Newton is still measured with a relative uncertainty that is several orders of magnitude larger than the relative uncertainty of other fundamental constants. Numerous methods are used to measure it. This article discusses the information-oriented approach for analyzing the achievable relative measurement uncertainty, in which the magnitude of the gravitational constant can be considered as plausible. A comparison is made and the advantages and disadvantages of various methods are discussed in terms of the possibility of achieving higher accuracy using a new metric called comparative uncertainty, which was proposed by Brillouin.
