A Newly Reported Muon Wobble Could Break Physics as We Know It

The results from one of the most hotly-anticipated experiments in particle physics are in, and they could be about to fulfill every researcher s wildest dreams: They maybe, perhaps, could break physics as we know it.
Evidence taken from the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago appears to point to a minuscule subatomic particle known as the muon wobbling far more than theory predicts it should. The best explanation, according to physicists, is that the muon is being pushed about by types of matter and energy completely unknown to physics.
