The Standard Model has always been a cobbled-together mess. It contains way more assumptions than it does facts. To be fair, physics is a very knowledge-limited field because we have a very limited understanding of how the Universe works despite all the non-White geniuses born every year (and living off of EBT cards). We also have a seemingly unlimited supply of theoretical physicists, but a definite limit on what can be accomplished by experimental physicists.
The biggest problem is that we have limits on what we can know as proven by Kurt Gödel's incompleteness theorems. Just image if what we actually know is only .00001% of the system we live in — or less. Also, there are growing indications that Einstein was wrong, and that the speed of light is not only variable, but it is different now than it was in the past, and most likely will change in the future. The implication being that whatever we 'know' to be 'true' now was not so in the past and will not be known to be true in the future.
Then there's the multiverse to consider with different universes with different laws of physics.
Tell me again why I should be concerned about the feelz of some blue-haired freak who is gender-fluid and doesn't know if it should chop it's dick off or not....
So this all has to do with precise energies predicted by theory.
Dark matter is actually a good example I'll use. You can go look up a histogram of all the dark matter experiments. Basically each one will be a curve that shows all the energies dark matter wasn't found at.
Guess what would happen if dark matter were found outside theoretical energy? The theories would be recalculate until they matched the energy.
Same thing for standard model. There's no "breaking the standard model." If one of the components is found to be off, physicists will think about why and edit the theory. It's highly unlikely the theory will be totally wrong.
Newtons classical mechanics is another example. When quantum mechanics was postulated, it didn't undo Newton. It was just an addition to the theory.
Between 2002 and 2011 (when it ran for the last time), the Tevatron produced approximately 4m w bosons in collisions between particles
So they originally calculated a completely different weight, and now after 10 years the sum of thier math produces different results?! WTF is going on here? How does the same math produce a different result all these years later?
Were the original results a lie? Are these results a lie?
0That is how they predicted the mass of the top quark (discovered in 1995) and the mass of the Higgs boson (discovered in 2012), before either particle had been detected.
And when the Higgs was "detected" they claimed that it's weight was exactly what was predicted. Yet with these new results that weight should be different. Was all of that a lie too?
The calculations don't match the observations. The results need to be confirmed by another particle accelerator or it's just oddball data. This is just one data set. It can be thrown out if it cannot be confirmed. Tevatron should be looking at their equipment first and foremost. It has been in operation for quite some time.
There was a paper published saying what the Large Hadron Collider would have to turn out to prove the existence of a Higgs Boson. It never did that, but they scientists lied and said they found it. Now maybe their lies will be proven.
Interesting how many times more experiments are piling up which contradict communism, gun control and vaccination but no questioning of those is allowed.

Theoretical physicists are cheaper. There's a lot of experimental physicists too but they can't all get funding.

Everyone who has stuck their dick in the standard model already knows she's crazy.
