"We squeezed rocks and filled them with lightning, so that they can think incredibly fast but with no imagination at all."

Yeah - early measurements of the magnetic moment of a muon aren't coming out as per theory. Could be the setup, could be a fifth fundamental force, could be that someone's fucked the sums on the four that we know about, could be invisible gremlins loading up the particles with slightly charged nothingburgers to foul up the experiment.
