Bullshit.

This is a repeat of a study that was done a while ago at a different accelerator. It was recreated at fermilab for greater accuracy.

Not new. Not a different force than previously known. It is a difference between what they expect to see from theory and what experiments measure. The theory predicts 2. Measurements are not 2. They already knew that. All that is new is they measured the discrepancy to a greater degree of accuracy.

closing in is as good as a mile

news will be WHEN they actually do it

else it is the same as all those TV shows where they never quite find what they go after -- sometimes whole seasons without really finding anything.

I would argue that the bigfoot hunters have found much more evidence of bigfoot than these people have found for their "new force". Modern day science has been completely consumed by fraud.

Fifth force of nature is Life (according to the "Beast Master" old tv show) or Love - as in The Fifth Element

I know. I’ve lost respect for NASA once they started un ironically working on a “warp drive”. It’s really sad to watch people who absolutely should know better fall for obviously wrong ideas that they simply want to believe that interstellar travel will work like it does on TV.
