I have heard some speculate that the inaccurate prediction of the muon's g-factor is more due to a flawed theory prediction, rather than a flaw in the Standard Model itself. Lattice QCD evaluations seem to have predicted a g-factor value that was much closer to what was recently measured in Fermilab than predictions made using perturbative methods

Do you really think the Muon g-2 experiment actually might imply new physics that aren't yet incorporated into the standard model? It seems to me that if lattice evaluations were better able to predict the value, then those should perhaps be used going forward, despite being much more computationally difficult compared to perturbative methods, and wouldn't necessitate the need for new physics.

It sounds like he's saying "Tooooooooday-yeah". You can hear it isolated in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBcWAydqtow

But muh low taxes and fiscal responsibility!

How do you become an extractor?

I'm sure that is correct. To be fair, I actually have zero understanding of what lattice QCD really is.
