I used original data from the Cavendish experiment to compute the value of G. My computation yielded a value for G 2.67 times greater than the recommended value:
G(Cavendish) = 1.78424*10^-7 cm^3 sec^-2 g^-1
G(recommended) = 6.67428*10^-8 cm^3 sec^-2 g^-1
I used the well-known method of equating the torque of torsion wire (k theta) and the torque of gravity (GMmL/s^2) […]

I added this article to my Cavendish wiki. Like Laurent Hodges Titchmarsh too calls the Cavendish experiment the Michell-Cavendish experiment. This reminds me the Ship of Theseus paradox. Cavendish’s pendulum had three components:
1) the wooden arm
2) the copper wire
3) the lead weights.

Cavendish had a new wooden arm made because what he inherited was warped. Cavendish […]

I am trying to compute the moment of inertia of the Cavendish pendulum. I used
I = 2(m r^2)
r = gyration arm
m = the weight attached to the pendulum
But this formula is for a dumbell type of torsion pendulum where the weights are attached to the bar.
Does anyone know the formula for a pendulum where the weights are […]

Nigel Cook writes in Quantum gravity mechanism and prediction that
Cavendish produced a more accurate evaluation of G by measuring the twisting force (torsion) in a quartz fibre due to the gravitational attraction of two heavy balls of known mass located a known distance apart.
1. Cavendish did not know about G.
2. Cavendish never measured the Newtonian […]

I just posted a chart showing the extreme points of the arm observed by Henry Cavendish 210 years ago today
Cavendish measured these excursions and computed the period. The average period1 is about 7 minutes.
As I was looking at the data I thought that if the weights remained in neutral position and the system […]

It is important to note that an experiment where gravity sets the arm of the pendulum in motion has never been done. In Cavendish experiments the arm is set in motion by disturbing the pendulum. If gravity has the power to pull the arm, and physicists say that it does, why don’t they let gravity […]

Freedom of science and the Cavendish experiment are related. Cavendish experiment cannot be understood as long as it is owned by physicists.
As long as physicists own the Cavendish experiment it will remain a Newtonian miracle proving the Newtonian occult to save Newton’s authority.

If Newton’s force is occult and it does not exist in Nature how does the Cavendish pendulum move under the influence of the Newtonian force?
I claim that Cavendish pendulum does not move under the influence of the Newtonian force.
How can I prove this?
In Physics Forum we wrote down the Newtonian force exerted by the attracting […]

My starting point is that Newton’s force is occult. Therefore, force cannot be measured in a scientific experiment.
Physicists on the other hand see no problem measuring occult in experiments. For people who created massless masses and who write long papers investigating experimentally measured masses of massless particles and the origin! of masses a simple problem […]

I’ve started a new forum at Tangler to discuss the Cavendish experiment with the whole world.
Cavendish experiment is one the most fundamental experiments in human history. There is a mythology around this experiment obscuring what Cavendish did. Separating the myth from the experiment will reveal some interesting facts about our understanding of the Newtonian force. […]
