Eternal Change for No Energy: A Time Crystal Finally Made Real

Go to the url above for the scoop. I don’t know enough to say anything about it but wow. All the recent cutting edge discoveries are making me a little nervous, however. As a member of homo sapiens I wonder if we’re getting a little too big for our britches–at least our humane britches?

THE “MAGNETIC MOMENT” described – reblog

Published April 9, 2021 by Nan Mykel

“The particle you thought was a bare muon is actually a muon plus a cloud of other things that appear spontaneously,” said Chris Polly, another leader of the Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment. “They change the magnetic moment.”….

“A muon constantly emits and reabsorbs temporary “virtual: particles. This entourage affects the muon’s magnetic moment, or how much torque it feels while moving through a magnetic field.”

One-Photon correction: “The simplest scenario occurs when a muon emits and reabsorbs a virtual photon. This is the most common possibility, so it has the largest effect on the muon’s magnetic moment.”

(As often occurs in real science, a counter theory has been offered.)
