I am already lost. Electrostatic forces can be found in an introductory physics textbook.
I am curious whether this is simply a big scam, or maybe just the delusions of an engineer who got hyped over some experimental errors.
There are of course other possibilities of something interesting happening with the experiments, but the claims of a new fundamental force of nature are not exactly believable without more evidence than mentioned in the article (which is zero).
