Why the Muon g-2 results are so exciting

When a theory makes a prediction that disagrees with an experimental test, sometimes it means we should throw the theory away. But what if that theory …

… has otherwise produced the most successful predictions in all of physics?

Then, that little glitch may be pointing the way to layers of physics deeper than we’ve yet imagined.

Well, FermiLabs Muon G-2 experiment has been chasing the most promising glitch of all, and they’ve just announced their results.
