Keeping the Issue Alive Last week, however, physicists at the University of Washington in Seattle reported new evidence for the existence of a fifth force.

On December 13, 2012, physicists reported the constancy, over space and time, of a basic physical constant of nature that supports the standard model of physics.

J- In the late 1960s, for instance, an American physicist, Jfoseph Weber (b. 1919) reported the detection of gravi-Jational waves.

Over the last month, physicists have been reporting signals of this elusive new room-temperature superconductor, seemingly making itself felt in several different laboratories, though still impossible to isolate and stabilize.

Now, physicists have reported here that they are a little closer to that elusive goal.

Second, Chinese physicists reported they had imploded UD3 using chemical explosives and thus obtained a beam of neutrons.

In the Los Alamos experiment, physicists reported finding evidence from accelerator collisions that neutrinos can "oscillate," or transmute from one kind to another.

Two Japanese physicists have reported, however, that they have created glowing discharges suggestive of natural lightning balls, and that these balls can now be studied in the laboratory.

"It's down there, all right," George Button's chief physicist reported, lifting his hard hat to smooth back sparse white hair.

Since then other physicists have reported not being able to reproduce the data.
