These are gravity, electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear power. But new research can tell us another force, reports CNN.
Scientists at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences' Institute of Nuclear Research (Atemki) have issued findings that may be an example of that fifth force.
They have followed closely how helium names light as it falls apart. The particles spread to an unusual 115 degrees angle, which cannot be explained by known physics.
The leading research scientist, Attila Krasznacorkey, told CNN that this is the second time his associates have observed a new particle, which they call X17, after calculating its measure of 17 megathronvolt.
“X17 may be particles linking our visible world to the dark matter”, Krasznoorkey wrote in an email response.
Jonathan Feng, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of California, told CNN that he has been following the work of the Hungarian team for years and believes their research can be final.
“If their search can be repeated, it will be very simple to decide who will receive the Nobel Prize,” explained Feng.
