Physicists Discover a Possible Break in the Standard Model of Physics

From Futurism

IN BRIEF

Physicists from UC Santa Barbara and elsewhere discovered a phenomenon that doesn't follow one of the basic assumptions held by the Standard Model of Physics, after the teams reviewed three separate experiments.
BREAKING THE LEPTON UNIVERSALITY

In order to make sense of the physical world, scientists have worked hard to discover theories and principles that govern the physics of matter. This is what’s called the Standard Model of Physics, which includes all the laws and principles concerning matter in all its forms and sizes. Bascially, the Standard Model applies to even particle physics. Or so it should.

Scientists from the University of California at Santa Barbara (USCB) and colleagues from various other institutions have recently discovered that there might be a break in the application of the Standard Model, particularly with a fundamental principle called the lepton universality. Their discovery comes from reviewing the data from three separate experiments conducted in the United States, Switzerland, and Japan.
