Well, well. Let's wait what the theorists say in the next months/years. With the Wuppertal-Budapest lattice result, it's not so clear whether there is a discrepancy between theory and experiment anymore. Of course, we have to wait for confirmation from other lattice groups and maybe also higher accuracy from there too. It's at least still exciting!

Summary:: Fermilab is hinting about a new era of physics after their findings. These findings highlight peculiar behavior of muon, a fundamental particle. These are excellent findings, but there is still a lot to learn.

With this topic there is bound to be a lot of sensationalist media coverage. It is definitely best to keep an eye on the actual scientific literature. Generally you will find that the media claims are substantially more dramatic than the actual scientific claims.
 
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
