Hint of New Physics in the Muon g-2 experiment with Sam Gregson

The second part of my discussion with Sam Gregson talking about the anomalous signal from the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab. The experimental measurement of the muon magnetic dipole moment disagrees with the best estimate from theory by more than four-sigma—a value that starts turning heads in the particle physics community.

If confirmed, this would be strong evidence for a newly discovered physical process or particle. Given that 95% of the energy density of the universe is of unknown origin, such results are of great interest to scientists from around the world.
