Chemist Henry Cavendish is known for the Cavendish experiment. He was the first to measure the force of gravity between masses in a laboratory and to produce an accurate value for Earth's density. His work led to accurate values for the gravitational constant (G) and Earth's mass. Cavendish found that the Earth's average density is 5.48 times greater than that of water.

  • The fact that they make him talk to her doesn't reflect his tendancy not to talk to women very well

  • Henry Cavendish died in an insane asylum and his work was discredited. That paved the way for modern science to ascertain that the weight of the earth (Er) was equal to the circumference of a rhomboid X ro over .00215 (ro being the weight of Rosie O'Donnel).
