Another evidence for the fifth force -- the interaction between charge & mass

The existence of the fifth force was first confirmed by Chinese experimentalist Mr. W. Q. Liu [1]. He weighted the charged capacitor and found that its weight decreased as theory predicted [2-6]. Moreover, Mr. Liu also found that the magnetic energy would influence the weight of the magnets by putting two magnets with their fields supporting and against each other. Although, according to E = mc**2, magnetic energy would increase the weight, but Mr. Liu found the effect is much larger. Recently, this effect is further confirmed by an accurate experiment performed in Europe [7]. Experimentalists Martin Tajmar, Clovis de Matos and their colleagues, from the European Space Agency, found that "a spinning top increases its weight much more than expected". Thus, there are at least two experiment groups found supporting evidence for the fifth force.

However, Tajmar et al. did not know the existence of the fifth force, and thus they believe that their experiment disproved Einstein's general relativity. However, according to the theory of the fifth force, their experiment only confirms the limitation of general relativity that has already been found [6]. The existence of the fifth force is derived from that the electromagnetic energy is not equivalent to mass [2, 3]. In fact, Einstein later realized such an equivalence is actually conditional [8]. This is reflected in Einstein's 1946 paper [9] that E = mc**2 must be understood only in term of energy conservation.

According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, a moving mass should create another field, called gravitomagnetic field, besides its static gravitational field. This field has now been measured for the first time and to the scientists' astonishment, it proved to be no less than one hundred million trillion times larger than Einstein's General Relativity predicts.

This gravitomagnetic field is similar to the magnetic field produced by a moving electric charge. For example, the electric charges moving in a coil produce a magnetic field - such a coil behaves like a magnet. Similarly, the gravitomagnetic field can be produced to be a mass moving in a circle. What the electric charge is for electromagnetism, mass is for gravitation theory (the general theory of relativity). Thus, a spinning top weights more than the same top standing still. However, according to Einstein's theory, the difference is negligible. It should be so small that we shouldn't even be capable of measuring it.

At first they couldn't believe their result. Tajmar claimed, "We ran more than 250 experiments, improved the facility over 3 years and discussed the validity of the results for 8 months before making this announcement. Now we are confident about the measurement". They hope other physicists will now conduct their own versions of the experiment so they could be absolutely certain that they have really measured the gravitomagnetic field and not something else. Apparently, although they already suspected that they have been measuring something else, they did not know the fifth force.

They thought maybe it's the gravitomagnetic field. So, they placed around the spinning superconductor a series of very sensible acceleration sensors for measuring whether this effect really existed. They obtained more than they bargained for! Although the acceleration produced by the spinning superconductor was 100 millionths of the acceleration due to the Earth's gravitational field, it is a surprising one hundred million trillion times larger than Einstein's General Relativity predicts. Thus, the spinning top generated a much more powerful gravitomagnetic field than expected.

It should be noted that the experiment involved a ring of superconducting material rotating up to 6 500 times a minute. According to quantum theory, spinning superconductors should produce a weak magnetic field. Thus, in my opinion, they are measuring also the interaction between an electric current and the earth, i.e. the effect of the fifth force!
