Scientific paper

Experimental studies of gravitation from the measurements of the gravitational attraction of two bodies by Cavendish to the present are reviewed, and experiments to be performed in the next decade are discussed. The experiments relate to the verification of the equivalence principle and the inverse square dependence of gravitational forces as begun by Newton in the 18th century, and to the investigation of relativistic effects, including the shifting of spectral lines and the deflection of electromagnetic waves in a gravitational field, starting in 1919. Ongoing efforts are presented as aimed at further verifications of general relativity theory over alternative relativistic gravitational theories, verifications of the equivalence principle, the detection of an eddy component of the gravitational field in a space gyroscope experiment, and the search for gravitational waves.
