Einstein's gravitational constant, κ , is the coupling constant from Einstein's field equation which can be written as follows:

Gαλ=κTαλ

In this equation, Gαλ is the Einstein tensor and Tαλ is the stress-energy tensor.

This expression depicts the curvature of space and time.  This stress-energy tensor, Tαλ, defines the disturbance of spacetime and this, in turn defines gravity. 

Note that the constant κ is directly proportional to Newton's gravitational constant G.

We can calculate the value of κ a couple of ways:

κ=8πGc21.86610-26mkg, which expresses the stress-energy tensor in units of mass density.

Alternatively, T can be expressed as energy density and this means:

κ=8πGc42.07657910-43s2mkg
