About this market
This market resolves to Yes if a peer-reviewed scientific paper or a public announcement reports a new precise value of the gravitational constant (Big G) with improved accuracy (e.g., a smaller uncertainty) compared to current known experimental results by September 30, 2027. The announcement must be made by a credible organization such as NIST, a major university, or a prominent journal like Nature or Science. If no such announcement is made by this date, the market resolves to No.
