Bengaluru: Findings from an experiment at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) near Chicago, USA, have thrown up preliminary results that suggest we might have to rethink the basic physics of the universe and what we understand of it.
The experiment was conducted to observe one of the 17 known fundamental particles of the universe, called the muon.
The objective of the experiment was to measure to a precise degree how magnetic muons are, by studying how they wobble in magnetic fields. When the muon was observed in a high-speed collision experiment, called the Muon g-2 experiment, physicists noted that the magnetic field around it was not what our codified laws of physics say it should be.
