Official source straight from the respectable organization. No way they can be lying, right?

Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider just recently started testing the accelerator for running at the higher energy of 13 TeV, and already they have found new insights into the fundamental structure of the universe. Though four fundamental forces – the strong force, the weak force, the electromagnetic force and gravity – have been well documented and confirmed in experiments over the years, CERN announced today the first unequivocal evidence for the Force. “Very impressive, this result is,†said a diminutive green spokesperson for the laboratory.

“The Force is what gives a particle physicist his powers,†said CERN theorist Ben Kenobi of the University of Mos Eisley, Tatooine. “It’s an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us; and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together.â€Â

Though researchers are as yet unsure what exactly causes the Force, students and professors at the laboratory have already started to harness its power. Practical applications so far include long-distance communication, influencing minds, and lifting heavy things out of swamps.

In case you didn't catch the obvious silly tone, or clicking the link and see the april 2 edit, and notice that I am posting this in the space lounge instead of science lab where it should be...yeah, it is an april's fool joke.

That made me smile nonetheless. Thanks.

That picture at the beginning was hilarious.

I'm still wondering what the Hadron collided with.

lol, took me a minute to figure out that it was a prank! Quite a shame, since it would be cool if the Force DID exist! (who knows, maybe it really does...)
