Re:Is there a 5th fundamental force of nature? by the__alchemist on Thursday August 24, 2023 @05:50PM (#37255003)
I felt a strange loss; to know that maybe this time, we really have learned the core of physics; a claim made many times in the past, and always proven wrong. BLOH is so reliable, it makes me legitimately worried there may not be another force.

Perhaps only the weak form here applies; the answer isn't "no", but the headline provides no information on the topic? The strong form is, regrettably, the common one.

Shout out to the sibling comment: maybe BLOH IS the fifth force, ironically.

Right, we learned so much we have no idea what the nature of most of the matter is, or where most of the energy comes from.
