#Physicists think they’ve solved the #muon mystery
Results dash hopes for a fifth force but provide very precise proof of the #StandardModel of #particlephysics and quantum field theory. According to a paper published in the journal Nature, the discrepancy is due to a calculation fluke, not exciting new #physics, so the Standard Model of particle physics is still holding strong.
