Muon is just as magnetic as predicted, requiring no new theory to explain

After six years of meticulous measurements, scientists at Fermilab have delivered their final word on one of physics' most puzzling mysteries: how much does a muon wobble in a magnetic field? The answer, precise to 127 parts-per-billion, surpassed their original goal and represents the most accurate measurement of its kind ever achieved. Yet rather than solving the mystery, this remarkable precision has highlighted a growing divide in the theoretical physics community about what the numbers actually mean.
