Meanwhile, we all know it was a wobbling golf ball.

Explanation: How fast do elementary particles wobble? A surprising answer to this seemingly inconsequential question came out of Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, USA in 2001, and indicated that the Standard Model of Particle Physics, adopted widely in physics, is incomplete. Specifically, the muon, a particle with similarities to a heavy electron, has had its relatively large wobble under scrutiny in a series of experiments known as g-2 (gee-minus-two). The Brookhaven result galvanized other experimental groups around the world to confirm it, and pressured theorists to better understand it. Reporting in last week, the most sensitive muon wobble experiment yet, conducted at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Illinois and pictured here, agreed with the Brookhaven result. The unexpected wobble rate may indicate that an ever-present sea of virtual particles includes types not currently known. Alternatively, it may indicate that flaws exist in difficult theoretical prediction calculations. Future runs at Fermilab's g-2 experiment will further increase precision and, possibly, the statistical difference between the universe we measure and the universe we understand.
So I guess Jen Psaki is going to circle back and announce Joe Biden’s fall on the stairs going up to AF-1 was due to him getting hit by a wobbling muon.
Curious, as I always am, I looked up the number 137 and surprisingly found all this on it at Wikipedia...

Yeah, one heckuva impressive number.
I really just wanted to ping the thread so
I could come back to it later but that struck me
as appropriate for this thread.
I live about a mile from Fermilab and
attended the arrival of the g-2 with the family.
It was really quite enormous and none of the pictures
I’ve seen do it any justice.

Heh heh! Queen LaQueefa’s meltdown creating gravity waves throughout the universe ... :-)
Depends on how much beer they drink..................
