Nactions

Nactions, a term originating from the field of theoretical physics, refers to hypothetical particles that could mediate a fifth fundamental force of nature. While the Standard Model of particle physics describes four known fundamental forces—gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force—some theoretical frameworks propose the existence of additional forces. Nactions are theorized to be the force carriers for one such proposed force.

The properties of nactions are not definitively known, as they are purely theoretical constructs. However, models often suggest that they would be relatively light particles, possibly with a very weak interaction strength with ordinary matter. This weak interaction would explain why such a force, if it exists, has not yet been detected through experimental means. Researchers explore potential detection methods through experiments designed to observe subtle deviations from the predictions of the Standard Model or through astrophysical observations. The existence and properties of nactions remain an active area of theoretical research, with ongoing efforts to refine theoretical models and devise experimental strategies for their potential discovery.
