Further Procedures to Establish a Relevance List

If a natural or universal physical constant has an impact on the process, it has to be incorporated into the relevant list, whether it will be altered or not. In this context, the greatest mistakes are made with regard to the gravitational constant g. Lord Rayleigh (3) complained bitterly saying  

I refer to the manner in which gravity is treated. When the question imder consideration depends essentially upon gravity, the symbol of 

This is all the more surprising in view of the fact that the relevance of this quantity is easy enough to recognize if one asks the following question  

Would the process function differently if it took place on the moon instead of on Earth  

If the answer to this question is affirmative, g is a relevant variable. The gravitational acceleration g can be effective solely in connection with the density as gravity gp. When inertial forces play a role, the density p has to be listed additionally. Thus, it follows that
