New Physics? Is our understanding of the ultimate unknown “energy” behind nature and the evolution of the cosmos finally taking shape? Well, it sure does look like after evidence taken from Muon g-2 experiment from the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago appears to introduce a minuscule subatomic particle known as the muon wobbling far more than theory predicts it should. Physicists believe that the muon may explain the “types of matter and energy completely unknown to physics”.
Fermilab announces the first results from Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment:
We’re thrilled to announce that the first results from Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment strengthen evidence of new physics! #gminus2https://t.co/tUx4ojzIps pic.twitter.com/t1ufui2Mwu

About fundamental particles called muons:
The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab sees fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way not predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics. These results confirm an earlier experiment performed at @BrookhavenLab. #gminus2https://t.co/92KZ5nWzCT pic.twitter.com/eX0ifQcR03

The combined results from Fermilab and Brookhaven:
The combined results from Fermilab and Brookhaven show a difference with theory at a significance of 4.2 sigma. The chance that the results are a statistical fluctuation is about 1 in 40,000. #gminus2https://t.co/tUx4oji70S

Here’s #gminus2 GIF along with further explanation by Fermilab:
The strong evidence that muons deviate from the Standard Model calculation might hint at exciting new physics. Muons act as a window into the subatomic world and could be interacting with yet undiscovered particles or forces. #gminus2 pic.twitter.com/3luQg3wfnv
