"More sightings of the fifth force could lead to scientists settling on a specific name for it."

Let's hope they come up with something more imaginative than 'protophobic force'.

I vote for Forcey McForceface!

I vote for Forcey McForceface!

Sounds a bit forced.

 

[Galu]

I wish Galu were here to help me name this force.

Applejack ?

No disrespect intended to your countrymen Gyuri!

Any research that shines a light on dark matter is certainly worthy of a Nobel Prize!

 

[Vix]

May the (fifth) Force be with you!

protophobic ? sounds like negative gravity, with which you can explain the acceleration of the expansion of the universe without dark matter ?? I think Dark Matter sounds like a kludge anyhow. Time for a new force. Can we use it to make better speakers ! - if not I’m no longer interested

 

[Galu]

Protophopic - be afraid of protons, very afraid - they are repulsive!

Protophopic - be afraid of protons, very afraid - they are repulsive!

Are you positive about that?

 

[KaffiMann]

I wish Galu were here to help me name this force.

I'm certain he'd grasp the gravity of the situation...

 

[Galu]

I'm certain he'd grasp the gravity of the situation...

Yes, he's a down to earth sort of guy!

 

[KaffiMann]

Certainly not one that favors opposing forces.

 

[Galu]

Is levitation an opposition to gravitation?

Can we survive the fifth force?

What if the fifth force really is the fifth element?

[Galu]

What if the fifth force really is the fifth element?

There must be a connection - just look at the levitation that's going on in the attached picture!

 

[Bigun]

don't laugh, I think this fifth force might be real and it will turn out to explain why capacitors sound bad, why speaker cables have a direction and once documents are declassified it may also explain the resurgence of vinyl.

 

[Galu]

I think this fifth force might be real and ... it may also explain the resurgence of vinyl.

That's a groovy idea!

It may even explain the existence of 'The Fifth Element Original Motion Picture Soundtrack' on coloured vinyl!

I vote for Forcey McForceface!

How about top, bottom or banana

 

[Galu]

How about ... banana

Thanks a bunch for that humorous suggestion! It certainly a-peeled to me!

However, the tri-segmented nature of a banana makes it an inappropriate representation of the fifth force.
