A Newly Reported Muon Wobble Could Break Physics as We Know It BEN TURNER, LIVE SCIENCE 8 APRIL 2021 The results from one of the most hotly-anticipated experiments in particle physics are in, and they could be about to fulfill every researchers wildest dreams: They maybe, perhaps, could break physics as we know it.   Evidence taken from the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago appears to point to a minuscule subatomic particle known as the muon wobbling far more than theor...

[source: Reidar Hahn/Fermilab, via US Department of Energy] The great existential questions and cosmic mysteries of our existence – like what makes up the universe, what is in all that dark matter space, and why is there matter at all – might find answers in a naughty little particle called a muon. Within the building blocks of our universe are atoms, and even smaller particles like electrons make up the atom. The muon is similar to an electron but 207 times as large. It is also the kind of...

Preliminary results from two experiments suggest something could be wrong with the basic way physicists think the universe works - a prospect that has the field of particle physics both baffled and thrilled. Tiny particles called muons aren’t quite doing what is expected of them in two different long-running experiments in the United States and Europe. The confounding results - if proven right - reveal major problems with the rulebook physicists use to describe and understand how the unive...

Fermilab researchers have spotted a wobble in the movement of a tiny particle This and abnormalities seen by CERN suggest issues with the Standard Model Leading physicist Michio Kaku says abnormalities have been long expected  Any tiny change could leave open the door to finding a new universal theory  A goal of Einstein during his lifetime, it would unite all four forces of nature into a simple, single inch long theory that Kaku dubbed the God Equation

Share This The FINANCIAL -- A much-anticipated result from an international science experiment provides strong evidence for the existence of an undiscovered subatomic particle or new force. The result was announced today, from the Muon g-2 experiment at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. It provides tantalising evidence that the elementary particles called muons are not behaving in the way they are supposed to according to the leading theory of physics – the Standard Model, UKRI no...

Humans humbled by a wobbling particle We know less about the universe than we thought.

OSU physicists explain how 2 experiments may upend our understanding of physics Steve Benham, KATU Staff Everything that you can see in the universe is only 5% of what is there. The soil of the earth, the planets, the stars, the galaxies, the electrons, the protons -- all those things, the everyday things, the things we recognize as reality, may not be all that there is. There may dark matter, the unseen something that makes up 27% of the universe. It is believed it drives the ...
