An experiment at Fermilab in the US suggests that muons rotate faster than expected, which would be a problem for the standard model of particle physics
scientists accelerated particles inside this giant ring close to the speed of light. and they found something that cannot be explained by the current theory of physics at the subatomic level. i think it s quite mind boggling, and it has the potential to turn physics on its head. we have a number of mysteries that remain unsolved, and this could give us the key answers to solve those mysteries. you ve heard of electrons well, there are similar particles called muons, which are much heavier and spin like tops. in the experiment, they were made to rotate using magnets. the current theory states that they should rotate at a certain rate. instead, they rotated faster. this might be caused by a mystery force a fifth force that in turn is created by another, yet to be discovered, particle. in february, a meteorite blazed across the night sky over the rooftops across the uk.

but, in recent years, astronomers began noticing things in space that can t be explained by the four forces, such as galaxies spinning faster than they should. and they can t explain why the stars and planets and everything on them, including us, exist at all. the new results suggest there might be a fifth force which could explain some of these mysteries. the result was from fermi lab, a particle accelerator just outside chicago. scientists accelerated particles inside this giant ring close to the speed of light. and they found something that can t be explained by the current theory of physics at the subatomic level. i think it s quite mind boggling, and it has the potential to turn physics on its head. we have a number of mysteries that remain unsolved, and this could give us the key answers to solve those mysteries. you ve heard of electrons well, there are similar particles called muons, which are much heavier and spin like tops.
