The recent Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab confirmed an earlier experiment and there might be a new force of nature or a new particle, but either way there's new physics! Astra will explain the potential fifth force of nature, why the scientific method takes so long, and what muons even are.
Charles Scherer asked us to discuss the new Muon g-2 experiment's discovery and fat-shame electrons. Joke's on him, because we're only going to fat-shame Muons.
