A subatomic particle called the muon is wobbling far more than leading physics models can explain.
Its unusual behavior could be evidence of a fifth force of nature or a new dimension.
And the reason could be evidence of a new, fifth force of nature.
But there are still cosmic wonders we don't understand — mysteries that the discovery of a fifth force of nature may help solve.
One possible explanation is that the muons' behavior is dictated by a fifth force of nature.
