So nothing Fundamentally changed #gminus2

New results of the G-2 experiment are expected to be presented at a Fermilab colloquium later Today. Now, why is this #gminus2 experiment so interesting and gets even jaded particle physicists like me excited? A thread:

Before you continue to YouTube

Now, this is where the g-2 #gminus2 experiment at
@Fermilab
comes in: it measures how one of the elementary particles spins in a magnetic field.

A bit like when you have a top, you can draw conclusions on where the material is inside the top, just from how the top spins

Bemused by the @BBC write-up of the #muon #gminus2 result - very cool to have this experimental precision, but when the theory prediction is still up in the air how can anyone say the #StandardModel isn't working and you need a #FifthForce? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-66407099
Scientists at Fermilab close in on fifth force of nature

Physicists believe that an unknown force could be acting on sub-atomic particles known as muons.

Not *more* undiscovered particles jeez QT @Fermilab: RE @Fermilab: 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. #gminus2 https://theory.fnal.gov/events/event/first-results-from-the-muon-g-2-experiment-at-fermilab/ 2021-04-07 18:10:32 UTC
