New Force of Nature? Tantalizing Evidence for New Physics From CERN’s Large Hadron Collider

They claim 1/1000 chance it's a random statistical wobble, but it is probably much higher chance it is a misinterpretation of the result.

Rather than a brand new new force of nature, it might suggest a different decay path for the muon. An upcoming article to be published in ZNA Physics A suggests that under the right conditions some muons might be generated in the form of emergent magnetic monopoles. Such “hypercomplex” muons and their alternative decay path have been suggested to resolve the puzzle of the neutron lifetime measurement for beam vs bottle methods. Such supercurrents produced by pairs of hypercomplex muons might be converted into gravity-like fields. If so, it would represent a long sought interaction that Faraday, Einstein and Blackett predicted between gravitation and electromagnetism.

“It has no explanation for the dark matter that astronomy tells us dominates the universe,”

Have any astronomers actually proven this stuff exists?

Serious question.

Katge Upton is a new force of nature.

Skeptics dub the Beauty Quark the figment since it can be considered beyond reality

[Red Badger]

Anti-Gravity will be coming soon....................

[Nateman]

I figure Dark Matter is simply neutrinos that have slowed down. They don’t weigh much so there must be an incredible amount of them. The slowing down part is what is hard to figure out since nothing much effects them. Perhaps this 5th force is responsible for that.

If they actually prove it exists, it wouldn't be 'dark' any more.........................

for the dark matter that astronomy tells us dominates the universe,

Astronomy doesn't show dark matter. it is a theory cooked up to explain how things originated. Without dark matter there isn't enough gravitational energy to change linear motion into angular motion. Astronomy has nothing to say about this because you cannot see dark matter, nor does it occlude anything.

Dark matter is the ether of Einstein. They had to rename it because they gave such hell to Einstein for saying it that they couldn't go back to that theory without making total fools of themselves.

“This was truly surprising because, according to the standard model, the muon is basically a carbon copy of the electron – identical in every way except for being around 200 times heavier.”

~~~

200x heavier??? That’s nothing to scoff. They don’t seem identical at all to me. Why would it be a surprise that quarks decay to them at different rates.

[Kevmo]

Maybe they started out faster than light, hit the edge of the universe, and got bounced back like a reflection wave.

The 4 types of wave interactions ways that waves may interact with matter are reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference. Maybe Neutrinos interact with each other in an interference pattern that knocks them down to sublight speed.

[Nateman]

...Have any astronomers actually proven this stuff exists?

Vera Rubin. She studied the rotation rates of stars around galaxies and kept getting the same inconsistences for the predicted mass. She got a lot of grief for awhile because her results clashed with the expected values. They eventually came around to her conclusion because the data was undeniable.

[Nateman]

...Maybe they started out faster than light...

The 24 neutrinos detected from the 1987a Supernova got here the same time the light did. The gravity waves from a neutron star collision also arrived the same time light did. It appears the Universe is composed of different particles where their vibrations always move at the speed of light. This is why nothing can move faster than light because nothing can move faster than the vibration of which it is composed.

[HYPOCRACY]

There’s more stuff that we can’t find. Give us money and we’ll find more stuff.

[ConservativeMind]

I’ve grown to not trust “The Conversation” site after reading they are in very tight with the Poynter Institute and its fake, “fake news” banning.

The Poynter Institute had to publicly retract over 500 bans on conservatives sites.

Yikes, I can feel the attraction!!!

[BipolarBob]

That looks more like Kate Upton.

[MRadtke]

Also:

“Beauty quarks, sometimes called bottom quarks, are fundamental particles, which in turn make up bigger particles. There are six flavors of quarks that are dubbed up, down, strange, charm, beauty/bottom and truth/top. Up and down quarks, for example, make up the protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus.

Beauty quarks are unstable, living on average just for about 1.5 trillionths of a second before decaying into other particles.”

If they decay into other particles, how can they be fundamental particles? The article seems to contradict itself.

I am not a physicist and I did not sleep in a Holiday Inn last night, but I appreciate the angle of finding a new force. The four known ones bewilder me - for example, just taking magnets and moving them around on a table because there is some ‘force’ between them is incredible.

Stay on the path and search for new God created forces.

My Kitties are excited about this new revelation!
