Jim Thompson left and Thomas Mun Rhan with amp at unction evidence found of new Force boosting Gravity san Francisco a precise Gravity measurements on a 2,000-foot television Tower provide Evi Dence for the existence of a previously unknown Force that slightly boosts Gravity s attraction researchers say. There is now some completely new Force in the universe which had t been known before said physicist Frank Laccy of the University of Queensland in Brisbane Australia. Evidence for the Gravity enhancing Force was presented at the american geophysical Union s fall meet ing by cop Bysick Donald eco hard physicist a cons to maids and colleagues from the air Force geophysics Laboratory at Hanscom fab.

The finding is u by exciting because it indicates the Force we Call or it is muck it lure complicated than we  said 1 ii Lim nmn a Phi Incisi astr no Merat the University of Washington in Seattle the four fundamental forces of nature Are Gravity electromagnetism the Strong Force which holds the centers of atoms together and the weak Force which makes some atoms break Down in radioactive decay. Studies by Boynton and others previously found evidence for a fifth Force which so Gully counteracts Gravity s pull Over 10 to 1.000-Yard distances. When Eckhardt and rom aides carefully measured changes in Gravity As they went up the television Tower in gamer n.c., a Clear pattern emerged indicating hat not Only is there a fifth Force but there is a sixth Force As  they Siirid in a news release.
