Wouldnt it be odd if we are only aware of half the material which makes up a human being? And that we have a hidden sector side too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We were all partially right and partially wrong. He's a Serbian born in Croatia, while it was a part of the Austrian empire. I'd call him a Serbo-croatian.

RabidMongoose 4,510 #11 Posted November 25 For those who are interested I found a video from the 1990s about some evidence indicative of at least a 5th but maybe a 6th force too. Its incomplete at 22 mins long but still interesting. Some of the later experiments they were trying to select materials with less neutrons, but if the new protophobic force turns out to be correct maybe these experiments need to be started up again with a focus on the protons? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
