Muon physics: Have we found a new force of nature? | Alex Keshavarzi | TEDxManchester
One of the great quests in science is to be able to deepen our understanding of the Universe and how it works, a “theory of everything” ultimately. Last year, the exciting and long-awaited first results of the Muon g-2 Experiment at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Chicago reported some astounding news for the world of physics.
Using particles called muons to act as a window into the subatomic world, the experiment has found compelling evidence of new particles and/or forces existing in our universe. Should the recent results be confirmed with the increased precision, it will be the first direct confirmation of new physics beyond scientist’s best theory of the fundamental structure of the universe: the Standard Model of particle physics.
Regarding Alex’s involvement in the project, he is a principal UK researcher on the Muon g-2 Experiment at Fermilab (USA), and has been so for the last 8 years, now working for the University of Manchester. His talk discusses the current state of the art on particle physics and how these experiments could change physics forever.
Dr Alex Keshavarzi is a particle physicist at the University of Manchester, working on experiments to test our best understanding of the fundamental structure of the universe.
Alex completed his degree in astrophysics and a master’s degree in physics at Queen Mary, University of London, before undertaking a PhD in theoretical physics at the University of Liverpool. He has been a research associate at the University of Manchester since 2019.
Alex’s main focus is in the study of particles called muons (the heavy cousin of the electron), and primarily is working on experiments at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in the USA. By exploring the precise behaviour of muons, he hopes to try and uncover the existence of new particles or forces of nature. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Aren't we truly blessed to get to learn such mesmerizing things lying on our bed with one leg on top of the other.

Brilliant I can almost smell the new force
Alex always gives amazing talks. Pleasure to work with this man. o7
“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” - Maya Angelou. You might have a tiny, wobbly step to celebrate. If so, bravo! You might have already integrated a change. If so, bravo! Even when you’ve ignored things for a little while, notice that right now, you are here. Give yourself credit. Delight in the beauty of the butterfly and don’t forget to stop to appreciate the changes it has gone through to get there.
This is amazing. For years we have been focused on the sun and now the moon is ready to show you it’s secret life.
Thank you for beautiful video!🌟🌟🌠💥🌟🌠🌟💥🌟🌠🌟💥🌠💥🫠🌈🫠🫠 Congratulation to you❤🌏
Wooooaaaahh my mind was blown away
lets keep wobbling fellas.
Now I know what the doctors were thinking when Sara Conner was telling them about the terminator. ????
❤❤
Do they have a potential name for this new force yet? I’m curious to see what they call it!
I dare you to say wobble one more time
SIXTH MUTHA FUKAS !!! :P (it's funny, laugh... )
The missing matter is out of phase
I'm an intermediate English learner.(disclaimer) This talk wouldn't be my cup of tea but commenting is my ordinary habit for progressing my skills of writing to any talk I've found. Everything in the universe rotates itself around its gravitational center. Every rotation is self-assertiveness, consequently entail force/energy (centrifugal/gravity). I suppose these could be the unidentifiable of that 'dark'. I'm sorry if it would be off the mark. We, humans are all in the confusion of singularity triggered by the appearance/advent of chatGPT, so we don't have the time to consider such permanent/immutable fact.
Muons make a great source of entertainment for modern kids, who have attention span just slightly below muon's lifespan.
He didn't mention Nadion particles

So the "BIG BANG" is a science or a miracle?

A theory not a fact, with missing evidence to make it concrete.
i am truly want to improve my english language (speaking and listening) can any one help me
Ok
Copa more then lato
Experiment and Theory do not agree! A glimpse past the standard model? Cracks in the standard model?
Not first
Ik the talk is great and all but I just have to say….he is the most hottest physicist I have ever seen 🐧

Particle physics is Broken with this new evidence.
I don't want to be first about this topic lol
The universe is breathing just like everything else. It's accelerating from our point of view. come guys, let go of this bs
1:42 Oh god please try harder, dude.
