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.
 
I read Hanbury Brown and Twiss's experiment is using one beam but split into two to test their correlation. It said the traditional correlation test were using two beams........ This confused me, sorry. All the correlation tests I learnt such as Stern-Gerlash are using one beam? (Sorry if I am wrong) I was also told traditional interferometers are concerning about amplitude but Hanbury Brown and Twiss were concerning about intensity? Isn't the square of amplitude is the intensity? Please...
I am not sure if this belongs in the biology section, but it appears more of a quantum physics question. Mike Wiest, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Wellesley College in the US. In 2024 he published the results of an experiment on anaesthesia which purported to point to a role of quantum processes in consciousness; here is a popular exposition: https://neurosciencenews.com/quantum-process-consciousness-27624/ As my expertise in neuroscience doesn't reach up to an ant's ear...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles.
