The Gravitational Constant: Generalized Gravitational Theories and Experiments /

An up-to-date description of progress and current problems with the gravitational constant, both in terms of generalized gravitational theories and experiments either in the laboratory, using Casimir force measurements, or in space at solar system distances and in cosmological observations.

  • Some Base for Quantum Gravity
  • Brane-Inspired Models in Gravitation and Cosmology
  • Experimental test of a Time-Temperature formulation of the Uncertainty Principle
  • The Newtonian Gravitational Constant: Present Status and Direction for future Research
  • Toward testing the Fundamental physics by SNIa data
  • Investigation of Schmutzer's Exact External spherically Symmetric Static solution for a Central Body within the framework of the 5-Dimensional Projective Unified Field theory
  • On exact solutions in Multidimensional Gravity with antisymmetric forms
  • 5D Gravity and the discrepant G measurements
  • 2-component cosmological models with perfect fluid and scalar field: exact solution
