Fermilab's muon g-2 experiment and hints of new physics

[physicoed]

TL;DR

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.

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!

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.
