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.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
