apparently the only thing that has happened in physics in the 25 years since i was in physics school is the higgs boson being established as probably existing but not directly observed?
really glad i bailed out on my physics career after my undergrad!

we've had comcast cable internet for the past 15 years and it has been adequate, though not great, a little expensive and morally irritating because of the lock-in.
if you like everything else about the place you will probably be fine

How do we know that the Muon is interacting with an unknown particle, and not that the Muon decay products include an unknown particle we aren't expecting/looking for/capable of measuring?

High Energy Physics (aka "fundamental physics") has been in a rut like that yes. Condensed Matter Physics (aka roughly anything bigger than a proton) has had enormous progress in lots of fields.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

Yeah, I've used Comcast for about 12 years now across California and Seattle, and I deal with them at work, and they're fine
definitely the least-bad ISP I've ever dealt with

we don't but i guess the idea is none of the particles we do know would explain it

Mostly the Marvel movies hint at some attraction between its impossibly good looking cast and then back off before the movie gets any further into it. A kiss, perhaps, but then in the next movie they’re broken up because of something we didn’t see.
Whasshername from SHIELD that Steve Rogers kisses at the end of Civil War, then she gets Snapped, then returns at the end of Endgame only to find Steve has gone back in time to date her great-Aunt.
We know the standard model is wrong, but it's mostly right so it's hard to find the holes where it breaks down and we could get new data to refine the theory further. Like we know it doesn't work with high gravity around black holes, but we can't exactly study black holes in the lab and get precise measurements.
So here's a thing where might actually be getting new, reproducible data that doesn't conform to the standard model.
The news stories all "CONFIRMS EXISTENCE OF NEW SECRET PARTICLES" are jumping a step ahead... reality is more "I might be able to explain this discrepancy with new particle types? Let's gather more data and confirm what these values are first then we can work on new theories that explain the value."

Right, it just seems like a case of "the data we are getting out isn't matching the model of whats going in, so clearly the model going in is wrong", when its not clear to me why you couldn't also have a situation where the data coming out is wrong.

Yeah I know it’ll be fine probably. It’s Optimum cable which I’ve had before isn’t as aggressively awful as other cable internet I’ve had in the past.
It’s so much bigger than my current place and I’m excited to have a really separate office and a heck of a lot cheaper. It’s the first place I’ve seen that felt right. I think I’ll do it.

Hey now, I think we've all accepted that String Theory is a big ole joke, haven't we?
How do we know that the Muon is interacting with an unknown particle, and not that the Muon decay products include an unknown particle we aren't expecting/looking for/capable of measuring?
we don't. There is no good theoretical explanation yet. Just the fact of the experimental difference still being there (even if not 5 sigma) is a big deal though.
And there is already a flood of "ambulance chaser" papers trying to explain it in theory.
But what is great about this is that it is experimental data leading the way. That has not happened for any of the work involving string theory, supersymmetry, ads/cft, multiverse etc... All of that was actively disagreeing with observations as theorists try to make the theories work.

I don’t just want an immovable, cold water bidet. But I’m also not willing to spend 500 dollars. Can I get heated water and a movable nozzle and varying pressure for like, 200 dollars?

that's what the news today is about. more data was analyzed and the anomaly increased in significance rather than being shown to be a random fluke or a problem in the data.

i have a cold water bidet and it's fine
then again i live in florida so the tap water is never really cold
but really who doesn't like cold icy water shot up their butt
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
I am reading Harrow The Ninth for the first time. I think I know what the author is doing here but in halfway through almost and it still hasn't happened so I'm super confused at this point. No spoilers please! Just commenting.

The Luxe Neo I have does both of those. However, it does have to connect via a hose to the bathroom's hot water line, which may or may not be accessible. At a prior rental, I drilled a 1/4" hole in the side of my undersink cabinet for the hose, then when I moved out I sealed the hole with a small plastic cap. Landlord didn't notice.

Right, I guess I didn't mean like, maybe you guys missed a neutrino or something. More like, maybe there is an unknown particle created during muon decay, and you guys weren't looking for it, so ofc the numbers you are getting don't match the model because you aren't seeing the whole picture.
