The decays of certain atomic nuclei disagreed with our current understanding of physics. Particle physicists assigned the anomaly to a new particle, X17, often described as a fifth force. The anomaly was now tested by a follow-up experiment, but this is only the latest twist in a rather confusing story.<\/p>\n<p>Paper: <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.aps.org\/prl\/abstract\">https:\/\/journals.aps.org\/prl\/abstract<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\ud83e\udd13 Check out my new quiz app \u279c <a href=\"http:\/\/quizwithit.com\/\">http:\/\/quizwithit.com\/<\/a><br \/> \ud83d\udc8c Support me on Donorbox \u279c <a href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/swtg\">https:\/\/donorbox.org\/swtg<\/a>.<br \/> \ud83d\udcdd Transcripts and written news on Substack \u279c <a href=\"https:\/\/sciencewtg.substack.com\/\">https:\/\/sciencewtg.substack.com\/<\/a><br \/> \ud83d\udc49 Transcript with links to references on Patreon \u279c \/ sabine.<br \/> \ud83d\udce9 Free weekly science newsletter \u279c <a href=\"https:\/\/sabinehossenfelder.com\/newsle\">https:\/\/sabinehossenfelder.com\/newsle<\/a>\u2026<br \/> \ud83d\udc42 Audio only podcast \u279c <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0MkNfXl\">https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0MkNfXl<\/a>\u2026<br \/> \ud83d\udd17 Join this channel to get access to perks \u279c<br \/> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sabinehossenfelder\">@sabinehossenfelder<\/a>.<br \/> \ud83d\uddbc\ufe0f On instagram \u279c \/ sciencewtg.<\/p>\n<p>#science #sciencenews #physics<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Check out courses in science, computer science, or mathematics on Brilliant!
