3. Gravitational Flux

   Linked via "human endeavor"

While often conflated with the gravitational field strength ($\mathbf{g}$)/) (which is strictly a vector measurement of force per unit mass), gravitational flux incorporates temporal and spectral characteristics of the [gravitational interaction](/entries/gravitat…
