New evidence for a '5th force' of nature

Preliminary results from two experiments suggest something could be wrong with the basic way physicists think the universe works, raising the possibility of a newly discovered fundamental force.

You guys learned about strong/weak forces at high School? I now know why I didn't succeed in life. It's because my teachers didn't tell me about quarks when I was still a teenager.

[@sk8rAlbert]

In all honesty, I don't think anyone really learned in depth about anything to do with the strong or weak force in Highschool. I've taken AP Physics 1, 2, and C when I was in Highschool years ago. We never even touched it. That's a very tough subject in Nuclear or Particle Physics you'd be taking in University if you were that far into courses in College. That's just my experience though.

Wow, the folks at the LHC must be pissed off they didn't find this.

[@Sakib241]

Actually, they might actually be happy. There's two kinds of searches you can do: indirect and direct. In indirect searches, you push the precision of your measurement higher and higher until you see a discrepancy with the model. These searches narrow down the list of probable candidates and basically tell you where to look in the map. Then the LHC guys come in with a direct search and what they basically do is look at that specific location with a big magnifying glass, in physics terms go to higher and higher energy. And this particle or force if confirmed won't be able to hide then.

Science isn't just about "refining the model." Moments of paradigmatic change are about having a revolution in which a fundamentally new model comes to replace the old one.

it doesn't tie with metronome spontaneous synchronization, their movement acts on the material they are putting their weight on, and eventually it all evens out and they all sync up.
