Fifth force: what update?

FROM 2023: The tantalising theory that a fifth force of nature could exist has been given a boost thanks to unexpected wobbling by a subatomic particle, physicists have revealed.

According to current understanding, there are four fundamental forces in nature, three of which – the electromagnetic force and the strong and weak nuclear forces – are explained by the standard model of particle physics.

However, the model does not explain the other known fundamental force, gravity, or dark matter – a strange and mysterious substance thought to make up about 27% of the universe.

Now researchers have said there could be another, fifth, fundamental force of nature.

Dr Mitesh Patel, from Imperial College London, said: “We’re talking about a fifth force because we can’t necessarily explain the behaviour [in these experiments] with the four we know about.”

The data comes from experiments at the Fermilab US particle accelerator facility, which explored how subatomic particles called muons – similar to electrons but about 200 times heavier – move in a magnetic field.

Patel says the muons behave a bit like a child’s spinning top, in rotating around the axis of the magnetic field. However, as the muons move, they wobble. The frequency of that wobble can be predicted by the standard model.

But the experimental results from FermiLab do not appear to match those predictions.

Prof Jon Butterworth of University College London, who works on the Atlas experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, said: “The wobbles are due to the way the muon interacts with a magnetic field. They can be calculated very precisely in the standard model but that calculation involves quantum loops, with known particles appearing in those loops.

“If the measurements don’t line up with the prediction, that could be a sign that there is some unknown particle appearing in the loops – which could, for example, be the carrier of a fifth force.”

The findings follow previous work from FermiLab that showed similar results.

But Patel said there was a “fly in the ointment”, noting that between the first results and the new data, uncertainty has increased around the theoretical prediction of the frequency.

That, he said, could shift the situation. “Maybe what they are seeing is standard scientific thinking – the so-called standard model,” Patel said.

There are other issues. Butterworth said: “If the discrepancy is confirmed, we will be sure there is something new and exciting but we won’t be sure exactly what it is.

“Ideally the discrepancy would inform new theoretical ideas that would lead to new predictions – for example, of how we might find the particle that carries the new force, if that’s what it is. The final confirmation would then be building an experiment to directly discover that particle.”

The experiments at Fermilab are not the only ones to suggest the possibility of a fifth force: work at the LHC has also produced tantalising findings, albeit with a different type of experiment looking at the rate at which muons and electrons are produced as certain particles decay.

But Patel, who worked on the LHC experiments, said those results were now less coherent.

“They are different experiments, measuring different things, and there may or may not be a connection,” he said.

Butterworth added that the unexpected frequency of the muons’ wobbles was one of the longest-standing and most significant discrepancies between a measurement and the standard model.

“The measurement is a great achievement, and very unlikely to be in error now,” he said. “So if the theory predictions get sorted out, this could indeed be the first confirmed evidence for a fifth force – or something else strange and beyond the standard model.”

Rey Skywalker: Random Relationship Headcanons

You’re her first love. And the two of you are devoted to a fault.

She was totally right touch starved when you met.

When your hands first touched, Rey knew she couldn’t get enough.

Expect plenty of kisses. Random places and random times.

“What was that for?” You’d ask her. “Just because” she’d answer back with a giggle.

She jumps on your back and nuzzles you.

She loves it here you kiss her hands, knuckles, neck, etc.

Giggles escape her lips every time you kiss her on any place beside her lips.

You once told her if you could, you’d kiss every square inch of her body. She dragged you off somewhere private so you could.

When you’re home with her, she loves taking showers with you. She loves it when you gently glide the lathered up washcloth across her skin.

She loves to comb your hair and she loves it when you comb hers.

She’s a fierce warrior on the streets but at home, she’s a cuddly housewife.

Rey definitely wants kids some day. She never gave you a definite number, all you know is that it’s a big number.

She loves sleeping in your arms. Not just in bed, but also for naps on the couch.

She loves it when you caress her during love making. She loves staring into your eyes and letting you know that she loves you just as much as you love her.

You are the family to her that she wished she had growing up.

The four genders

[fluffypotatey]

Have we considered that Wukong's "don't make me do this!" is in fact, not because HE would ever think "welp, that's a darn shame. I have to kill you now." But rather, "Macosmo flower of my heart, pls stop being so freaking stupid bc I have a sworn duty to my Master and also the excruciating force of this circlet if you don't stop acting Macalooney I will have no choice but the literal will of heaven and the earth requiring me to kill you to put an end to what they all see as a worthless demon. I don't want to take the next step that will put my duty over how much you're my beloved other half, don't put that burden on me, stop please-"

oh yeah 100%

fighting Macky was also an internal battle between his loyalties. he still cared and love Mac but Mac hurt his Master (someone he may not have liked in the beginning but grew to care for despite their many disputes). it’s possible Mac even tried to kill Tripitaka, and that was something Wukong could not allow

the fact that if resulted in Mac’s death was not the plan. but, you know, Wukong has a tendency to pull a harder punch more than others

maybe he hoped Macky understood this and would stop. maybe, he thought, after leveling a mountain range, Macky would stop and leave them alone

but he didn’t

IMDb FACT: "Darth Maul doesn't show up until almost the half-hour mark and only speaks a total of three lines, spending almost all of his 8.5 minutes of screen time either listening, walking or standing quietly, or fighting. Maul actually has a very memorable, intense monologue about fear that was used in TV spots but never actually made it into the final movie. Furthermore, Peter Serafinowicz has stated in an interview that he actually recorded much more dialogue for Maul that never ended up in the film."

Happy Star Wars Day! I hope it was better than this guy's.

Revenge of the Fifth

Fem!Peter Parker x Stark!Reader

⚠️ Warning: it’s a spicy one 🔥 ⚠️

The first week of May was often a celebrated one for you and your wife Petra Parker-Stark. No Spider Girl or Iron Knight patrols.

You and her would have three days of back to back Star Wars movies. It started on May the 4th and ended on Return of the 6th.

But this was the first time you’d be celebrating such a time as a married couple. So you decided to surprise your wife when she woke up on May the 4th.

“Happy May the Fourth, my spider monkey!” You presented her with breakfast in bed and a new Chewbacca onesie.

“Ohmygosh! Baby! I love it!” She giggled as she slipped it on. It made her feel comfy and loved at the same time. Made you feel comfy too considering that she spent the entire day nuzzled up against you. She didn’t want to leave your arms, she loves just rubbing herself and the velvet cotton texture against you.

You would be honest and say that the feeling was definitely making you feel hot under the collar so to speak. What you didn’t know was that this was all part of your wife’s slightly devious little plan.

You walked into the living room the following morning. Petra stood there in a jet black sith dove, holding her red lightsaber.

“Hi honey” she purred. “Sleep well?”

“I missed having you in bed with me this morning, Mrs Parker-Stark” you flirted back.

“Well…” she let the robe fall from her shoulders and to the floor, revealing a Sith inspired lingerie outfit. “Happy Revenge of the Fifth”

You were left speechless. She strutted up to you and gently pushed you onto the couch. She straddled you and began grinding her hips into you. She kept one hand firmly on your shoulder and the other was moving to your pajama pants.

Petra began kissing you with a fiery passion and vigor that anyone would not have expected from someone who acts so shy around others. 

With a simple tug of your pants drawstring, Petra yanked them off and began moving her hips in a tight circular motion. She moaned your name. Hers came out of your mouth as an almost begging voice. You couldn’t maintain much composure. Your beautiful geek of a wife was driving you wild. It was all too exciting.

With a mischievous grin, she smirked, “there’s your lightsaber.”

“It’s all yours,” you groaned. She giggles and yanked off your shirt.

And so now even years later, Petra Parker the love of your life still amazes you. The two of you now celebrate May the 4th with your little baby May. But Revenge of the 5th? You drop little May off at Aunt May’s house, but just for a few hours.
