A new experiment has broken the known rules of physics, hinting at a mysterious, unknown force that has shaped our universe awoodward@insider.com (Aylin Woodward) © Reidar Hahn/Fermilab The superconducting magnetic storage ring at the Fermilab is 50 feet in diameter. Reidar Hahn/Fermilab A new study suggests subatomic particles called muons are breaking the laws of physics. This may mean a mysterious force is affecting muons, which would make our understanding of physics incomplete. It could be the same force that's responsible for dark matter, which shaped the early univer...
