Is there a fifth force of nature? - BBC News

The forces of nature we experience every day can be reduced to just four categories: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and the weak force.

But physicists at a laboratory near Chicago conducting the Muon g-2 experiment say they have found possible signs of a fifth fundamental force.

The UK's Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) said it provides strong evidence for the existence of an undiscovered sub-atomic particle or new force". But the results don't add up to a conclusive discovery yet.

*I felt a great disturbance in the force as if millions of Physics undergraduate students screamed in terror.*

A thicker textbooks for the coming generations Y’all...

They felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

I can confirm their truly is a 5th force of nature. I refer to it as 'My Ex'!

[shawnnewell]

Interesting! Always something new to ponder.

This proves that weebles wobble but they don't fall down.

Laws of Physics: Hey you can't do that.
Exotic particles: You can't tell me what to do!!!

Just imagine the earth being an atom on a grand scale and its just waiting to get smashed by another atom (another planet)



Ignore me, I'm extremely stoned right now.

Yes there is, every time I Smoke my Marijuana

In general relativity,  gravity is not a force between masses. Instead gravity is an effect of the warping of space and time in the presence of mass.

This 5th force is not opening this video for me

If the BBC stuck to this, grand designs and shows like the office I'd be happy to pay my TV license.

Yoda: Found 5th force you have? Hmm?

Grogu: hold my beer

[oldengrimsey]

May the '5th' be with you! :)

[ModySameeir]

Even if humans find the force of dark energy, it will be difficult to call it "the dark force" 😂😂

[handbanana]

Makes things spin more? It's definitely Spiral Energy.

[augustuscaesar]

Amazing discovery, perhaps Nobel prize for 2021, who knows!

[TehPwnerer]

I would be extremely surprised to find a new force. We have good constraints and agreement between models and observations that would exclude the idea of a new force but we'll see

[FaffyWaffles]

Muon: "How many levels of spin are you on?"
Electron: "Two"
Muon: "You are little baby. Watch this." *wobbles -violently- slightly above two






Tau: "Pathetic"
