A Fifth Force of Nature May Have Been Discovered Inside Atoms
Every action in physics is governed by some kind of push or pull. As far as we know, these all fall into one of just four categories; electromagnetism, gravity, and two kinds of nuclear force.
The Standard Model and Beyond
The Standard Model of particle physics has been incredibly successful at explaining the fundamental building blocks of the universe and their interactions. However, it doesn't account for everything, such as dark matter and dark energy. This potential discovery of a fifth force could revolutionize our understanding.

A fundamental force is a force that is not reducible to more basic forces. The four known fundamental forces are:
- Gravity: The force of attraction between objects with mass.
- Electromagnetism: The force that acts between electrically charged particles.
- Strong Nuclear Force: The force that holds the nucleus of an atom together.
- Weak Nuclear Force: The force responsible for radioactive decay.
Evidence for a Fifth Force
The evidence for a fifth force comes from [mention the experiment or observations here - this is missing from the original content]. If confirmed, this would be a groundbreaking discovery with far-reaching implications for our understanding of the universe.
Researchers at Example University are further investigating these anomalies.
