Sensitive detectors can measure differences in hundreds of millionths (10^-8 parts) or around .1 um/s^2.
A 1 million tonne mass on the other side of the earth will create a TOTAL acceleration of 4*10^-16. Changes in that will not be detectable.
- fho 3y agoAh yes ... That's some orders of magnitude too much :-)
