Einstein's gravitational constant, , is the coupling constant from Einstein's field equation which can be written as follows:
In this equation, is the Einstein tensor and is the stress-energy tensor.
This expression depicts the curvature of space and time. This stress-energy tensor, , defines the disturbance of spacetime and this, in turn defines gravity.
Note that the constant is directly proportional to Newton's gravitational constant G.
We can calculate the value of a couple of ways:
, which expresses the stress-energy tensor in units of mass density.
Alternatively, T can be expressed as energy density and this means:
