This book provides the reader with a detailed and captivating account of the story where, for the first time, physicists ventured into proposing a new force of nature beyond the four known ones - the electromagnetic, weak and strong forces, and gravitation - based entirely on the reanalysis of existing experimental data. Back in 1986, Ephraim Fischbach, Sam Aronson, Carrick Talmadge and their collaborators proposed a modification of Newton’s Law of universal gravitation. Underlying this proposal were three tantalizing pieces of evidence: 1) an energy dependence of the CP (particle-antiparticle and reflection symmetry) parameters, 2) differences between the measurements of G, the universal gravitational constant, in laboratories and in mineshafts, and 3) a reanalysis of the Eötvos experiment, which had previously been used to show that the gravitational mass of an object and its inertia mass were equal to approximately one part in a billion. The reanalysis revealed that, contrary to Galileo’s position, the force of gravity was in fact very slightly different for different substances. The resulting Fifth Force hypothesis included this composition dependence and also added a small distance dependence to the inverse-square gravitational force. Over the next four years numerous experiments were performed to test the hypothesis. By 1990 there was overwhelming evidence that the Fifth Force, as initially proposed, did not exist. This book discusses how the Fifth Force hypothesis came to be proposed and how it went on to become a showcase of discovery, pursuit and justification in modern physics, prior to its demise. In this new and significantly expanded edition, the material from the first edition is complemented by two essays, one containing Fischbach’s personal reminiscences of the proposal, and a second on the ongoing history and impact of the Fifth Force hypothesis from 1990 to the present.

Sometimes the only path forward is through the past. Two things you need to know: The earth is dying and time travel is real. We have exhausted, no, abused, the fossil fuels of this planet and now we're facing a self-inflicted extinction level event. Our only hope, my team of Time Inflectors must travel back in time in order to save all of our futures. Earth is on the verge of extinction. We have limited crude oil and our primary fuel sources are negligible. The carbon clouds signal the end of our species. We have but a few options: leave the planet… or fix it. We are the TFA, a special Canada-based agency that stumbled across a revolutionary discovery. The fifth Elemental force. Time. We built a freaking time machine based on the new physical sciences, believing we can go back to the “inflection points” of this extinction level event and fix things. The irony here is that the fuel we need to operate the invention, is the very fuel that led us to this juncture. Even with the precautions in place we only have enough for a limited number of time jumps, 5 to be exact. To make things even more difficult, time travel has a few additional “restrictions” as the discovery of time as a fundamental force provides a Quantum and Physical science sandbox. This means that the tachyons that interact with matter do so similarly to protons and neutrons; they cannot engage in something that would create a paradox. In layman's terms, they prohibit certain interactions between those from the future and those in the present. I’m Doctor Malik Fikai, one of the three Inflectors tasked with going back and fixing this mess before it happens, otherwise our future is history.

Relativity theory assumes locality, without accounting for the observer's past history. This work introduces nonlocality, or history dependence, into relativity theory. Inertia and gravitation are deeply tied, suggesting gravity may be nonlocal. The gravitational memory of past events must then be taken into account

Visionary sci-fi/fantasy. Moments after learning that he holds the key to the unimaginably powerful 5th force, Michael is attacked by men sent by arms dealer Rockshaw-who wants the secret of the 5th force for himself-or Michael dead. With only seconds to spare Michael is rescued by the unknown-but strangely familiar Elle-who uses telekinetic powers and a stolen motorcycle to race him to safety. Michael soon discovers that he is Elle's timeless companion and has been reborn once more as leader of the spiritually advanced Protectors guided by the immortal Atri and Atria. As Michael regains his powers-and reawakens crucial life memories of Galileo, Gandhi, Newton, and Einstein-Michael and Elle shape-shift into new identities and surreptitiously use their powers to extract a scientist from North Korea, raid Rockshaw's secret labs in Essen, and hijack a supercomputer, in an all out sprint to discover the 5th force. Meanwhile an unknown betrayer is attempting to deliver them-and the secret of the 5th force-into Rockshaw's hands. ""The Protectors Diaries provide page-turning reads, but these books are much more than a great fantasy/thriller series. They say there is truth in fiction, and amidst the action, Selbie manages to weave in an uplifting and compelling vision of our own high spiritual potentials. The first in series, The Fifth Force, gets off to a rocketing start and is continued in the second, The Six. The series skillfully combines leading-edge science, ancient history, contemporary issues, telepathy, levitation, great characters, love, and loyalty. Engaging and inspiring. You'll be glad you couldn't put them down."" Graham Hancock author of "War God: Nights of the Witch" and "Fingerprints of the Gods"

There have been many recent discussions of the 'replication crisis' in psychology and other social sciences. This has been attributed, in part, to the fact that researchers hesitate to submit null results and journals fail to publish such results. In this book Allan Franklin and Ronald Laymon analyze what constitutes a null result and present evidence, covering a 400-year history, that null results play significant roles in physics.
