Exciting! Funnily timed too since the sci-fi book I’m reading also goes into new physics found at Fermilab.

“If confirmed, this would represent arguably one of the biggest scientific breakthroughs for a hundred years, since Einstein's theories of relativity. That is because a fifth force and any particles associated with it are not part of the Standard Model of particle physics.”
