“…in other words, the symbol f for the gravity constant. In 1885 König and Richarz [20] suggested a gravity constant G, but it is not fully clear from the paper that they suggested 2 F GMm r = as we know it today. This was first clearly suggested by Boyes [21] in 1894.…”

The Newton gravitational constant is considered a cornerstone of modern gravity theory. Newton did not invent or use the gravity constant; it was invented in 1873, about the same time as it became standard to use the kilogram mass definition. We will claim that G is just a term needed to correct the incomplete kilogram definition so to be able to make gravity predictions. But there is another way; namely, to directly use a more complete mass definition, something that in recent years has been introduced as collision-time and a corresponding energy called collision-length. The collision-length is quantum gravitational energy. We will clearly demonstrate that by working with mass and energy based on these new concepts, rather than kilogram and the gravitational constant, one can significantly reduce the uncertainty in most gravity predictions.

“…The equivalence between gravitational and inertial masses bridges equation ( 23) into equation (1) substituting inertial mass in equation ( 23) by gravitational mass in equation ( 1). This final step imprints causality to the universal law of gravitation and also brings another meaning for equation (19), in the sense that 𝑔 can be reinterpreted as a gravitational field if 𝑀 = 𝑀 𝐺 (the case 𝑚 𝐼 ≠ 𝑚 𝐺 is analyzed in appendix A).…”

Newtonian gravity can be regarded as a hypothetic -deductive system where the inverse square law is the starting point from which gravitational phenomena are deduced. This operational form of presenting gravity endorses problem solving and seems to be predominant in the teaching practice. In contrast, regarding phenomena as a source for the development of the theory is also possible, of course, and can be advantageous to scientific education since it deals with model conception and construction. This article intends to introduce undergraduates to Newtonian gravity using its empirical basis, i.e. the free fall and the planetary motion, to deduce the universal law of gravitation. Additionally, an elemental analysis of the theory´s structure is presented. It also steps into the modern interpretation of gravitational phenomena i.e. Einstein´s general relativity, including a discussion on the instantaneous action at a distance in this context.This didactic presentation of the theory of gravity differs from the standard approach usually found in common textbooks. It is designed to reach a threefold equality, similar to those applied in the method of separation of variables in partial differential equations, where 𝐺 is treated as a separation constant. By doing so, the universality of the gravitation constant emerges as a conclusion rather than a statement. It is also meant to create a perception on how imagination can be helpful in discovering Physical laws.
