Fifth force of nature potentially discovered

I hope I'm alive to see the day that physicists finally manage to get gravity to play nicely with the other fundamental forces. I won't understand any of the math behind it, obviously, but this has been an ongoing project that humanity has failed to make significant progress on for over a hundred years. I want to see it happen.
EM and weak are unified. The rest aren't. Higgs is needed to make standard model work, which is not a unified theory.
Pretty awesome reading that article. As the end says, there is no reason to assume either there is only a fifth force, could be more. The way we explain dark matter and dark energy seems extremely janky right now, be interesting to see if new forces make it feel more intuitive or even crazier.
How did so many people get this joke!?
You can only have four copies of the same card in your deck in MtG.
Thanks in any case :)
Huh I thought it was a magic the gathering reference but I did not know this rule. Last time I played was in the 90s though.

It's a short range force so meh. Really wish we had more long range forces we could control. The only one we can control is the electromagnetic one.
It's obviously love. Interstellar is redeemed.
Interstellar could have been good.... Shame
Careful, this is not a replication. It's a theory paper discussing models that might explain the signal, not a new independent measurement.
Anyway, this is being overhyped by the press as usual, and I wouldn't bet on it standing. Here's a particularly lucid assessment by experimentalist and data analysis expert Tommaso Dorigo, who works at the CMS experiment at the LHC:

Agreed, we know nothing. Particles spontaneously come into and exit existence in empty space. Constantly I hear people say the edge of the universe...like peek a boo if we can't see beyond a local "universe" it doesn't exist?
You know...she wasn't actually positing that as an actual force of nature.
I also hate people that disregard a before the Big Bang. Bitch just because we can't see what happened before doesn't mean there wasn't something there!
You need Heart to summon Captain Planet though.
Edit: Dammit, beaten
