The discovery promises to spark a revolution in physics, but more results and a resolution of controversies in the theory are needed to know for sure.
A tiny wobbling particle may be about to reveal a fifth force of nature, scientists behind one of the biggest particle physics experiments say.
In other words, the muon's minute wobbling — known as its magnetic moment — has the potential to shake the very foundations of science. By looking at how muons wobbled as they made thousands of laps around the 50-foot-diameter ring, the physicists compiled data suggesting that the muon was wobbling far more than it should be.
But whichever way they slice it, the physicists' data suggests that something unknown is nudging and tugging at the muons inside the ring.
