Large Hadron Collider detects strange particle behavior that could rewrite physics

SMRTR summary

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider have found that certain subatomic particles called B mesons are behaving in ways that contradict the Standard Model — physics' 50-year-old rulebook for how matter works. The measurements show a one-in-16,000 chance the results are random, falling just short of the gold standard for a confirmed discovery. If verified with newer data, this could point to entirely undiscovered particles and forces.
