Noncommutativity explains the Muon Mystery of variable virtual photons

 An alternative approach involves noncommutative geometry , which yields similar results. It seems likely that there is a deep link between the two approaches. It is interesting to note that the theory of DSR has its origin in the work of Born in 1938 and Snyder in 1947....

 Our result is also consistent with prior approaches using the apparatus of noncommutative geometry, where the experimental tension bounds the scale to be above 14 TeV....

 The effect of the fundamental length in spacetime is to modify the propagator for the virtual photon carrying four momentum 𝑘, by adding an additional term of 𝜂⁢→𝐤

 Overall, this would make a contribution nearly 30,000 times larger than the photon propagator to the anomalous magnetic momentum, and would increase the energy scale needed to explain the tension in the measurement by 4 orders of magnitude. It should also be noted that it operates in the opposite sense to the photon contribution. This is unsurprising as the use of the physical propagator is not Lorentz conserving on its own, and there is no balancing factor from the momentum measure.
