It was important either way, because the experiment that generated it was breathtakingly precise

On April 7, particle physicists all over the world were excited and energized by the announcement of a measurement of the behavior of muons the heavier, unstable subatomic cousins of electrons that differed significantly from the expected value.
A century from now, looking back on this moment, will historians understand this excitement? They certainly won’t see a major turning point in the history of science. No puzzle was solved, no new particle or field was discovered, no paradigm shifted in our picture of nature. What happened on April 7 was just an announcement that the muon’s wobble its value is called g-2 had been measured a little more precisely than before, and that the international high-energy physics community was therefore a little more confident that other particles and fields are out there yet to be discovered.
