Freedom of Science

I am drafting a petition to serve to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (formerly known as United States Bureau of Standards explaining to them that

• G is a political symbol invented by the British Newtonians in the 19th century
• G is not a constant of nature
• G is not an experimental quantity
• Cavendish did not measure G
• Luther and Towler did not measure G.¹

The value of G must be set to unity and it must be ackonwledged that G is a defined unit and not an experimental quantity and its name must be changed to remove any association with the Newtonist religion.² This unification of G will be the first step toward the elimination of the Newtonist religion.

2. Suggestion: The Universal constant of stars and stripes would be as good as Newton’s universal constant of gravity. [↩]
