They have found more evidence that sub-atomic particles, called muons, are not behaving in the way predicted by the current theory of sub-atomic physics.
Scientists believe that an unknown force could be acting on the muons.
We knew that THD wasn't the whole picture to sound quality, maybe it's the 5th force....

This builds on results obtained in 2021 when Fermilab accelerated muons around a 15 metre diameter ring. When subjected to a magnetic field, they wobbled at a rate faster than predicted by the Standard Model of physics.
At that point, there was a 1 in 40,000 chance that the results provide evidence for the existence of an undiscovered sub-atomic particle or a new fundamental force.
P.S. A muon is a fundamental particle similar to the electron, but with a mass 200 times greater.

I remember reading back in 2021 that the theorists had suggested that the wobbliness of the muon which was measured by the experimentalists is actually exactly what the Standard Model predicts!
Then there's the problem that two teams of theorists can't agree on the value of a term which is used to calculate the muon’s magnetic moment!
So, I'm not holding my breath at the prospect of a 5th force!

Who knows, maybe there's a whole sub-universe inside one of those tiny particles, equally as well, our universe could be just a tiny "particle" existing inside a super-universe... so, unless already coined, let me introduce a new term in addition to the existing multi parallel universe theory, the multi level universe. :-)
That is written wrong!
At that point, there was a one in a 40,000 chance that the result could be a statistical fluke - a statistical level of confidence described as 4.1 sigma.
However, a one in 3.5 million chance of the observation being a coincidence is needed to claim a discovery - described as 5 sigma.
Here, in this Household, we believe in the Standard Model of Physics. Expressed in 4D Spacetime, if you like.
To postulate a 5th. Force of Bosons wreaks of insanity to me.

I much prefer Miles Mathis' charge funneling through orbiting compact discs in various geometric arrangements. Electron 'clouds' make no sense to me and neither does the Strong Schwartz.
There is another run down on it here

Using 40 billion muons — five times as much data as the researchers had in 2021 — the team measured g-2 to be 0.00233184110, a one-tenth of 1 percent deviation from 2. The result has a precision of 0.2 parts per million.

But whether the measured g-2 matches the Standard Model’s prediction has yet to be determined. That’s because theoretical physicists have two methods of computing g-2, based on different ways of accounting for the strong force
😉 Another 40 billion maybe????

The Higgs boson is the fundamental particle associated with the Higgs field, a field that permeates the entire universe and gives mass to other fundamental particles such as electrons and quarks. A particle's mass determines how much it resists changing its speed or position when it encounters a force.25 Dec 2020
"God for Harry, England and Saint George"... Henry V, IIRC.
I think the Bard wrote it. But then I grew up in Stratford upon Avon. Warwickshire. Dark Lane, Tiddington, as it goes.

Of course, you have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the origional Klingon:
