Muon G-2: The Anomaly That Could Change Physics, And A New Exciting Theoretical Development

Do you remember the infamous "g-2" measurement? The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon has been for over a decade in the agenda of HEP physicists, both as a puzzle and as a hope for good things to come.  Ever since the Brookhaven laboratories ...

Acknowledged

It is nice when somebody publishes an article and acknowledges your contribution, even when the input or help you gave was really minimal. I found out today that Marco Matone, a theoretical phyisicist and colleague from the University of Padova, published ...

The base model of the Hilbert Book model

The HBMP starts from the assumption that physical reality has structure and that this structure has a foundation. Many scientists find it difficult to assume that physical reality applies mathematics because they consider math as a human invention. The fa ...

Our creator is a modular designer

If you look around, then (nearly) all discrete objects are modules or modular systems. Via experiments, we know that a set of elementary modules exist that together constitute all other modules and the modular systems. Physics calls these elementary module ...

An ATLAS 240 GeV Higgs-Like Fluctuation Meets Predictions From Independent Researcher

A new analysis by the ATLAS collaboration, based of the data collected in 13 TeV proton-proton collisions delivered by the LHC in 2016, finds an excess of X-->4 lepton events at a mass of 240 GeV, with a local significance of 3.6 standard deviations. Th ...
