The Newtonian gravity constant G plays a central role in gravitational theory. Researchers have, since at least the 1980s, tried to see if the Newton gravitational constant can be expressed or replaced with more fundamental units, such as the Planck units. However, it was already pointed out in 1987 that this led to a circular problem; namely, that one must know G to find the Planck units, and that it is therefore of little or no use to express G through the Planck units. This is a view repeated in the literature in recent years, and is held by the physics’ community. However, we will claim that the circular problem was solved a few years ago. In addition, when one expresses the mass from the Compton wavelength formula, this leads to the conclusion that the three universal constants of G, h, and c now can be replaced with only l_p and c to predict observable gravitational phenomena. While there have been several review papers on the Newton gravitational constant, for example, about how to measure it, we have not found a single review paper on the composite view of the gravitational constant. This paper will review the history of, as well as recent progress in, the composite view of the gravitational constant. This should hopefully be a useful supplement in the ongoing research for understanding and discussion of Newton’s gravitational constant.

牛顿万有引力常数及其与普朗克尺度的联系的复合视图研究进展

牛顿引力常数G在引力理论中起着核心作用。至少从 1980 年代以来，研究人员一直试图看看牛顿引力常数是否可以用更基本的单位（例如普朗克单位）来表达或替换。然而，在 1987 年就已经指出，这导致了一个循环问题；即，必须知道G才能找到普朗克单位，因此表达G几乎没有用处或没有用处通过普朗克单位。这是近年来在文献中反复出现的观点，并且为物理学界所持有。但是，我们会声称循环问题在几年前就已经解决了。此外，当我们用康普顿波长公式表示质量时，这会得出这样的结论，即G、h和c这三个通用常数现在只能用l _p和c代替预测可观测的引力现象。虽然已经有几篇关于牛顿引力常数的评论论文，例如关于如何测量它，但我们还没有找到一篇关于引力常数复合视图的评论论文。本文将回顾引力常数复合观点的历史和最新进展。这有望成为正在进行的研究中对牛顿引力常数的理解和讨论的有用补充。
