Abstract
We calculate in chiral perturbation theory the dependence of Newton's gravitational constant G on the θ parameter of quantum chromodynamics, and we find that G, as a function of θ, is minimized at θ≌π. This calculation suggests that quantum fluctuations in the topology of spacetime would cause θ to assume a value very near π, contrary to the phenomenological evidence indicating that θ is actually near 0.
