The Standard Model of particle physics is our current best-guess on what the blue-prints for matter looks like.

of particle physics is our current best-guess on what the blue-prints for matter looks like. Of all of its predictions, none are as precise as the magnetic moment of the electron.of any particle's properties. And while these two values are close, they don't overlap entirely, providing tantalizing hints of new physics.– simply put, how strongly an electron behaves like a tiny magnet – might one day unlock a greater understanding of the building blocks of physics and how they interact.

"The new value is 2.2 times more precise than, and consistent with, the one that stood for 14 years," write the researchers in their"Our determination and the Standard Model calculation are precise enough for a test that is 10 times more precise." The Standard Model's equations provide a way to calculate something called the fine-structure constant. Roughly equivalent to 1/137, it is fundamental to the electromagnetic force that binds atoms, making it a pretty big deal in physics.

These new results have an error margin that's ten times smaller than this discrepancy, strongly hinting at unknown physics.could deliver values that hint at the existence of new particles or types of interactions we don't yet know about.

The Property of a Quantum Particle depends on its speed and obeys Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (Δx Δp ≈ h/2π, ΔEΔt ≈ h/2π)

As society implodes

The real question is given your instrument could you have measured a more precise value than you did If not then that is why you measured the value you got!!
