Re: Muon Wobble

I've heard of muons before...

*But this is new to me.  As usual with Astropix includes links and etc. 

The rate of wobble is sensitive to a strange sea of virtual particles that pop into and out of existence everywhere. The unexpected wobble rate may indicate that this sea houses virtual particles that include nearly invisible supersymmetric counterparts to known particles. If so, a nearly invisible universe of real supersymmetric particles might exist all around us.

Cool.

Re: Muon Wobble

Hmm... 

You know, we can make muons.  If we knew what made them sensitive to this effect, we might be able to use them to manipulate it.
