Hypercharge, Fischbach reports in Physical Review Letters, is an extremely weak repulsive force that acts between objects no more than about 600 feet apart and varies in strength from element to element. It is strongest in iron and weakest in hydrogen. Thus, the physicists contend, if an iron ball and, say, a feather were released simultaneously in a vacuum, the iron's repulsive hypercharge would act more strongly than the feather's to counteract the earth's gravity--and the feather would hit first...
