Oh and I like how that video says no one has ever replicated Cavendish's experiment. I got some news for you: it is replicated several times a semester, every semester, in undergraduate classes in universities all over the world, including the one I went to.

repeated, not proved. Like his theory that he had to be a long way away from the device or it would not work. So what about the "gravity" of the device itself - would that not interfer?
you say it's been repeated - like with people with standing 1-3 feet away from it, are you beginning to see the utter fallacy of the nonsense?

And the idea that it is repeated by physics students, so do you have any proof that it ever worked or is it just a case of "here's this toy" and presto - this explains the magic but don't ever question the theory because FU, ok every other scientist that ever tried to explain anything has been proven wrong and this is the best idea we got and we know what we're doing!

Seems to me to be just a trick of pendulum rotation on a spinning earth, can you prove that it isn't?

why can't we duplicate it.

Nice goal post move.

Also no theory in science has ever been proved, or ever will be proved; so your comment is meaningless.

That is simple, just reverse the position of the large balls and it will twist the other direction (it will always twist towards them). You can do it yourself with household items.

So this theory is just a sometimes repeatable, but not really - sounds about right.

So you say nothing in science has ever been proven

but

This experiment proves gravitational attraction in objects

So if you're just going to be a troll, you should at least get your theories semi co-ordinated.

If you want to measure the magnitude of G to a high degree of accuracy, then you have to be very careful with the experiment and not allow anyone to come near it. If you just want to see the force of gravity turn the torsion bar towards the weights, you don't need to be as careful.

did not say that, nice strawman. The torsion bar always accelerates towards the weights.

I'm just curious why you linked a video saying the experiment has never been repeated, when 5 seconds of research would have shown you otherwise. Twenty seconds of searching and you could have found a video of someone repeating it...

How is repeated mean proved, silly boy.
Magic tricks can be repeated, does that prove their is magic?

And really you should stop assuming that every point in a video is a 100% representation of what I believe, you're embarrassing yourself.
