The is a similar problem with the moment of the muon: theory and measurement differ greater than error limits of either. That hints that theory is missing some additional physics or particle interactions.
The muon was the first particle discovered from the 2nd & 3rd tier of particles, since muons are readily generated by cosmic ray impacts. Only the first tier of particles is necessary for the physics of everyday life: atoms, chemistry, fission and fusion. The unnecessary muon strikes again.
- pdonis 5y ago> theory and measurement differ greater than error limits of either Here, though, it isn't just theory and measurement that differ. This new measurement differs from multiple previous measurements of the W boson mass, by an amount greater than the error limits of either. The Science article linked to downthread shows this.
