Abstract
Palaeogravity, the strength of the Earth’s surface gravity in the past, is widely believed to have been constant for hundreds of millions of years. A simple scientific method is outlined to check if this belief is correct. The results indicate that, far from being the constant assumed, palaeogravity was lower in the past and has slowly increased towards our present-day surface gravity.
