Muon experiment: Did scientists just discover a new force of nature? | DW News

Physicists are excited and say this could be a major breakthrough in our understanding of the universe. It all has to do with the behavior of sub-atomic particles called muons. Experiments at a lab near the US city of Chicago have shown that muons move at a rate that's faster than expected - potentially unlocking the secrets of a previously undiscovered fifth force of nature.

In summary, their measurements did not match their calculations. That sounds like me in college.

So basically they discovered "SPEED FORCE used by flash"🤗🤗🤗

"...something called the standard model"

If you weren't sure whether the reporter had any idea what they were reporting on before that comment, it quickly cleared it up for you.

I really do wish news orgs would stop sending scientifically illiterate people to cover science news. They do a poor job of the reporting.

Wait, a new force?? I don't really understand the grandness of this, but it sounds really important!!!

[truthandthelight]

They seem to always make it sound simple as if “if we could just figure out this last particle of four we could figure it all out.” Then at the very same moment they figure out Muons they realize it’s made of 4 other particles of Guons. The bigger the telescope the more stars in the sky.

Okay, I am going to have to read Stephen Hawking's book, "A Brief History of Time" again to grasp the standard model and the four fundamental forces.

Speaking of Chicago, that reminds me, somebody melted CERN okay well rest in peace.

0:37 is a good example of posterior pelvic tilt. Friends don’t let friends have bad posture.

Flash has been tapping into this for ages, it's called the speed force.

I’m an Australian and I’m going to call it dark vegemite.

More science reporting please, this is great stuff!

[varadarajaniyer]

This kind of discovery will go on forever. Brain and mind with its new found equipments will continue to create sensation., untill they realise the unknown is unknowable.

[genekwagmyrsingh]

4:40 This guy is a good spokesman, quite charismatic. Put him out front more.

[danielwhyatt]

This is definitely gonna usher in a great new age in science.👌🏼

[garrymaemahinay]

I gather also book that was not displayed in internet and google and people died already but their works is amazing . Thanks

[otarshavadze]

I don't understand anything but this is cool

[aaronparys]

Interesting time’s we live in..so much to discover! So many unknowns ..with these new technologies help unravel these mysteries!
