Phys. Rev. Lett. 62, 985–988 (1989)Test of Newton’s inverse-square law in the Greenland ice capReceived 24 October 1988; published in the issue dated 27 February 1989 An Airy-type geophysical experiment was conducted in a 2-km-deep hole in the Greenland ice cap at depths between 213 and 1673 m to test for possible violations of Newton’s inverse-square law. An anomalous gravity gradient was observed. We cannot unambiguously attribute it to a breakdown of Newtonian gravity because we have shown that it might be due to unexpected geological features in the rock below the ice. © 1989 The American Physical Society URL:
