: It appears to me that you have misstated the result. Your wording is similar to the news story here [http://www.nature.com/news/2010/170210/full/463862a.html], but the actual article here [http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v400/n6747/full/400849a0.html] says that the acceleration of gravity was measured to a precision of 7 parts per billion.
