The two most accurate measurements of G contradict each other.

It's precision, not accuracy, and the graph is meaningless without mentioning the confidence interval. There is an indeterminant error. Get more data and let someone else do the lab work.

Right?

Synchronicity?

It's precision, not accuracy, and the graph is meaningless without mentioning the confidence interval. There is an indeterminant error.

From the article:

The two most accurate measurements have experimental errors of 1 part in 10,000, yet their values differ by 10 times that amount. So physicists are left with no idea of its absolute value.

The error bars are far smaller than the difference between the most accurate existing measurements. For sure, more data is needed. Two points are not enough.
