Quantum electrodynamics is considered the most accurate theory in the history of science. This precision is all based on a single experimental value - the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron called the g-factor. In this episode, I want to examine a paper by Oliver Consa who examines the very suspicious coincidences, errors, mathematical inconsistencies and renormalisation infinities which have been swept under the rug.
