What does the Muon g-2 experiment tell us?

- The Muon g-2 experiment announced one of the most tantalizing physics measurements in over a decade. It is possible that the measurement tells us that our theoretical calculation is missing some new physical phenomena. It is also possible that a new theoretical prediction points to the possibility that measurement and prediction basically agree. In this exciting video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln gives you an insider’s perspective.

You've been explaining the recent happenings in the world of physics to me since I was a 12 year old boy. I'm now a 23 year old man with a bachelor's in physics and I feel even further from my dreams of contributing to experimental or theoretical physics in any significant capacity. I'll see you in a few years, hopefully with a PhD. :)
After all the hype I was waiting for Don's take on it. I'm not disappointed. Clearly explained with a pinch of charm.
Finally, Don has spoken.
This is masterful science communication. I don't know who at the Fermilab office asked you to do the CZcams channel, Dr. Don, but you have truly found your calling. You and everyone behind the scenes who's involved.
Former BNL employee worked on that magnet on Long island NY .
The thing I love about Don's videos is how he stresses that in science, finding new questions can be as exciting as finding answers. A result which tells us "we don't know, we need to do more research" is actually a great result.
Dr. Lincoln is such a great teacher. His delivery is always enjoyable and very informative. The G-2 uncertainty has been cycling through my mind since first becoming aware of it.
I could listen to him lecturing for hours. ☺️
This channel is a gem. I have been repeatedly impressed by the content. It seems as though it would be digestible by a wide audience, despite the complexity of the subject matter. This video was particularly well made.
Wow, this level of precision is mind boggling !! This is remarkably amazing !!
Professor Frink: "g is exactly 2!"
In all, I would assume Feynman would be pleased if not jealous lol. I am thankful in your approach and inspiring a new generation of brilliance.
I love that being wrong is the best and most exciting thing for a physicist
Thank you for explaining this
Finally, a video we've all been waiting for.
Best explanation I've heard/watched on the Muon g-2 experiment. As usual, Dr. Limon knows how to cut to the chase.
Thanks Dr. Don, this was great - and long expected!
Excellent presentation, Dr. Don. Lots more info than you usually provide which is appreciated, but as always, presented in ways that allow most anybody with an interest in physics to follow along.
This is the video I have been waiting for, best PR from Fermilab
Wow, thank you so much for such an in-depth quality explanation of the g-2 results!!! This is very exciting. Can't wait to find out what the different groups find over the next year or two!
