LaCoste's most famous invention is the ship- and aircraft-mounted gravimeter. These revolutionized exploration for minerals by allowing wide-ranging geological surveys. The chief problem that Lacoste defeated was to distinguish the accelerations of the vehicles from the accelerations due to gravity, and measure the minute changes in gravity.
The mystery of Jamie Fraser's ghost, and how he is watching Claire in episode 1 of Outlander won't entirely be solved until Diana Gabaldon's final book in the series is published.
Recently, the SGs, and broadband three-axis seismometers operated in gravimeter mode, have begun to detect and characterize the small gravity signals from earthquakes. These signals arrive at the gravimeter at the speed of light, so have the potential to improve earthquake early warning methods. There is some activity to design purpose-built ...
