Abstract

The author explores the muon wobble effect based on experiments at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois. Topics discussed include the discovery that muons' spins have a stronger wobble than previously expected which means that there are additional particles in the universe beyond the discovered ones, presence of virtual particles in empty space according to research, and the possibility that one of the superparticles affecting muons called a neutralino is part of dark matter.
