If those models had predictive power that translates to atomic scale you wouldn't need a multibillion collider to prove them.

- gus_massa 4y agoI 99.99% agree. One of the few molecular level effects that depends on the virtual particles that are important in the standard model is the Lamb shift https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamb_shift https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamb_shift In this case the virtual particle is a virtual photon, not a virtual weird particle, so it's just scratching the standard model. I'm not sure if the g-2 Anomalous magnetic dipole moment of electrons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomalous_magnetic_dipole_moment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomalous_magnetic_dipole_mome... can be measured with a cheap equipment.
