Abstract

A statistical theory about gravity is obtained in this paper by studying the change of zero-point energy of one-dimensional vacuum caused by mass. The theory indicates that the measured value of the gravitational constant obtained by the present method is not a constant but a quantity related to acceleration and it will increase when the acceleration decreases. Our theory accords well with the experimental data by fitting high-precision measurement of the gravitational constant during the last two decades, the critical acceleration is obtained by the fitting, and the value is  , the standard error is ; the theory predicts that when the acceleration in the torsion pendulum experiment is around or less than critical acceleration, the gravitational constant value measured by the existing method will be significantly greater than the current measured value.
