摘要: The theoretical setting of the experimental study gravitation is indicated and a brief account given experiments on from Newton onwards. main content review comprises surveys three groups experiment: investigation inverse square law, studies weak equivalence principle determinations constant gravitation. Attention called to reasons for difficulties carrying out In summary, it concluded that there no evidence deviations general relativity mainly manifestation geometry spacetime.
