Hints of a new particle carrying a fifth force of nature have been multiplying at the LHC – and many physicists are convinced this could finally be the big one

, Switzerland – one that might, at long last, break the standard model, our current best picture of nature’s fundamental workings.

The measurement concerns subatomic particles known as “beauty” or “bottom” quarks. Over the past few years, their behaviour has hinted at forces beyond our established understanding. Now, with the hints continuing to firm up, and more results imminent, it’s crunch time. If these quarks are acting as they appear to be, then we are not only seeing the influence of an unknown force of nature, but perhaps also the outline of a new, unified theory of particles and forces.

That is a big if – but many particle physicists are on tenterhooks, myself included.”I’ve never seen something like this,” says, a theorist at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. “I’ve never been so excited in my life.” For all its dazzling success in describing the basic ingredients of our universe, the standard model of particle physics has many shortcomings. It can’t explain

Lets hope it is called a flux particle.

Maybe

If there is to be a fifth force what is it to be called? Can you give us a hint?

More like an alternate reality is slowly transposing itself upon ours since that machine created a ripple in the fabric between the two. Hello 5th, the glue removing itself from the curtain….

Science baby 💪

PMartin1867 you see this?

The unified theory of information?

Yes but it will require a Humungeous Hadron Smasher to make sure.

Since we cannot still answer the biggest questions about the universe and nature of reality, there has to be more to the story. Kudos to everyone at LHC for continuing the quest! LHC IULife

What if……what if it were a space time dimensional rippled effect from this machine causing two or more dimensions to slide across each other and switch realities all over the planet….might explain a lot of happenings.

A fifth element?

😬 This is the worst kept secret in science. (after Wuhan)

Hi, I am a structural engineer from Iran who have many ideas. I have summarized some of my ideas on my twitter(I suggest look at the idea of generating electricity by gravity). I want to work with companies and investors. Do you want to cooperate?

Everything that exists is in Motion in one fashion or another.... is that Unified enough? 😎 UnifiedTheory Science

Good luck with that. Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to 's edition commemorating the centenary of quantum mechanics. '100 years and we STILL don't know how to interpret it'

As a complete lay-person, but keen fan of physics, long-time NS subscriber, and observer of past false dawns, I would guess “no”.

Hey danielmgmoylan, they're modeling again, tell them to wind their necks in would you?

HI this is my first tweet.

Sam Harris ‘esque’ teaser but it is prolly just the wiggle that is the foam between the wave/point duality. They found the wiggle. -the Unmoved Mover a mysterious muffled laugh

Particle Physics is becoming more like the National Lottery

Quantum

Seems good

Particles are a myth.

Any chance that the LHC Cern might investigate the curve in the non-linear (likely hyperbolic) rate of passage of Time?

DOUBT IT! ALIENS ARE FAKE

Wow! Just wow!

This is very exciting.
