Abstract
We use IGETS absolute gravitational acceleration measurement data to study the gravitational acceleration variance. The relative variance of in 22 years is less than . Since , this implies the relative variance of Newtonian constant is less than based on an sine-like oscillation hypothesis. This limit is at least 4 orders of magnitude better than the existing measurements. The scattered values of reported measurements coming from different experiments are most probably coming from systematic errors associated with these experiments and not due to intrinsic time variation of . We also find that based on a linear hypothesis. This is the best terrestrial result so far.
