Hmm. Is there a fifth force of nature? And if so, does it explain or explain away 'dark' matter and 'dark' energy?

Hmm. As our grand universe evolves, so too does our understanding of its nature...

FYI: 'The Simple Idea Behind Einstein’s Greatest Discoveries:
Lurking behind Einstein’s theory of gravity and our modern understanding of particle physics is the deceptively simple idea of symmetry. But physicists are beginning to question whether focusing on symmetry is still as productive as it once was.'

FYI: "Matter, Energy, and Gravitation,

In our models, not only space, but also everything “in space”, must be represented by features of our evolving hypergraphs. There is no notion of “empty space”, with “matter” in it. Instead, space itself is a dynamic construct created and maintained by ongoing updating events in the hypergraph. And what we call “matter”—as well as things like energy—must just correspond to features of the evolving hypergraph that somehow deviate from the background activity that we call “space”.

Anything we directly observe must ultimately have a signature in the causal graph. And a potential hypothesis about energy and momentum is that they may simply correspond to excess “fluxes” of causal edges in time and space. Consider a simple causal graph in which we have marked spacelike and timelike hypersurfaces:..."

Scientists define energy as the ability to do work. Modern civilization is possible because people have learned how to change energy from one form to another and then use it to do work. People use energy to walk and bicycle, to move cars along roads and boats through water, to cook food on stoves, to make ice in freezers, to light our homes and offices, to manufacture products, and to send astronauts into space.

There are many different forms of energy, including

Heat
Light
Motion
Electrical
Chemical
Gravitational
