The Experiment That May Have Broken Physics | SciShow News

The video discusses recent findings from Fermi Lab where muons, subatomic particles, behaved unexpectedly, challenging the Standard Model of physics. The Standard Model explains most fundamental forces except gravity, but recent experiments showed muons wobbling faster than predicted. This suggests unknown forces or particles might exist. Previous similar results were seen at Brookhaven Lab. Researchers plan further experiments to confirm these findings. The video highlights the need for new theories to explain these anomalies, potentially leading to a more comprehensive understanding of the universe.

What is the Standard Model unable to explain?

• The behavior of muons

• The force of gravity

• The charge of electrons

• The existence of quarks

What was unusual about the muons in the Fermi Lab experiment?

• They had no charge

• They wobbled slower than expected

• They wobbled faster than expected

• They did not interact with magnetic fields

What does the G factor measure in the context of muons?

• The charge of the muon

• The mass of the muon

• The strength and orientation of the muon's magnetic field

• The speed of the muon

What is the probability that the Fermi Lab findings were a fluke?

• One in 10,000

• One in 20,000

• One in 30,000

• One in 40,000

What might the recent findings suggest about the Standard Model?

• It is completely accurate

• It may need adjustments or a new theory

• It is irrelevant to particle physics

• It only applies to gravity
