Image via Business Insider Hungarian scientists from the Atomki Nuclear Research Institute led by Professor Attila Krasznahorkay believe they have found evidence of a fifth force of nature.

There may be a fifth fundamental force of the universe that we haven ... data gathered by the NASA OSIRIS-REx mission on the near-Earth asteroid Bennu as evidence of this potential testing ground.

Gravity pins us to Earth and pulls us around the sun, while electromagnetism keeps the lights on. The other two forces are less obvious to us because they govern interactions at the tiniest scales ...
