Not to mention that quantum electrodynamics (QED) is extremely well understood and tested to ridiculous precision. We are certainly not missing anything that came up in 19th century physics and if we did the evidence would be strictly an experiment obviously contrary to theory. That doesn’t exist and no amount of hand waving about failed theories or alternate formulations of existing theory should convince anybody.

It seems that QED theory has been repeatedly adjusted to fit measured data, or so claims this video

I've gone down the suppressed laws of physics rabbit hole myself in the past, and I don't care to repeat that trip.

Oh yeah that magnetic anomaly “g - 2” there’s a value that might be almost but not quite exactly 2, which is one of the few sources of potential “new physics”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muon_g-2

But whackos will apparently cast any areas of active research as a conspiracy.

Still not anything like “suppressed laws of physics”.
