Have We Found The Fifth Force Of Nature?!

Scientists recently discovered an anomaly in the 4 fundamental forces of nature. What was it and might it indicate a 5th fundamental force?

Have Physicists Discovered A Fifth Force Of Nature?
"At first glance, the news is ground-breaking. A team of American particle physicists, building on some Hungarian work, announced the "possible discovery" of a fifth fundamental force of nature. If true, this is massive. But peer a bit closer, and the claim appears to be built on some shaky foundations. Here's what you need to know."

Evidence Of A 'Fifth Force' Faces Scrutiny
"Last year, a team of nuclear physicists in Hungary observed an anomaly in the decays of excited beryllium-8 atoms - an unexpected preference for spitting out pairs of particles with a particular angle of separation. The bump in the physicists' data was unmistakable, with odds of less than one in 100 billion of arising by chance. Reporting the anomaly in Physical Review Letters in January, the researchers argued that it could signify the existence of a new fundamental particle. But at first, few took notice."

The Standard Model
"The theories and discoveries of thousands of physicists since the 1930s have resulted in a remarkable insight into the fundamental structure of matter: everything in the universe is found to be made from a few basic building blocks called fundamental particles, governed by four fundamental forces. Our best understanding of how these particles and three of the forces are related to each other is encapsulated in the Standard Model of particle physics. Developed in the early 1970s, it has successfully explained almost all experimental results and precisely predicted a wide variety of phenomena. Over time and through many experiments, the Standard Model has become established as a well-tested physics theory."

2016:fifth force suspected, could be
experimental error
2019:New experiment again observes this
mysterious fifth force.

If it matters to me? Of cource it MATTERS to me, it is what FORCES me to stay up all night and think about stuff, it is what ATTRACTS me to science and make me INTERACT with people once in a while.

We found some proof of this today. Recommended at a great time

This video is too controversial: demonetized.

Hey Trace, I just wanted to say thanks for bringing the most up to date information in the scientific world and making it fun and easier to understand =)
Keep up the great work :)

It's possible that gravity is not a fundamental force, but an emergent phenomenon.

Well Dark Matter would have to interact with something because they are holding together galaxies. By definition they are interacting with the matter galaxies are composed of. At least on a grand scale.

Trace is the best! I wish he was my teacher in grade school

[varalakshmi]

Came here to clarify doubt about fifth force ..
2.0 brought me

[larryboy]

When will they finally discover midichlorians?

[carlosportuguez]

Good job Trace, now I wanna see a Norwegian Metal band called Dark Photons.

"no need for understanding"

There are more positive ways knowledge could be delivered.

Love your show. Long time sub-er.

Scientists: We found an anomaly.
Press: Cuthulu. Or Ancient Aliens. Probably Cuthulu tho.

@Seeker Trace, you ROCK‼️ Not only do you present exciting and fascinating science, but your an AMAZING PRESENTER‼️ You give depth, energy and voice the excitement I feel about science. You animated, engaging, have a natural charisma and infuse palpable energy into your every presentation‼️ Keep it up!! I firmly believe it is personalities that draw in younger viewers, young adults, college students and teens. Keep on

I absolutely love the science behind the Hadron Collider but what I find much more interesting about the Hadron Collider is why does it have to be so big sometimes and science you have to go small to go big

I thought the gluon was called Elmers?

Congratulations on your new YouTube type of website Dtube.

I love how so matter-of-factly you throw in the LHC at the end. I'd be curious to see one watt of usable net power created from the LHC.
