EXCESSIVE SUCCESS. “Part of the reason for this is that the two theories have been almost too successful. By the 1970s, quantum mechanics had developed into the ‘standard model of particle physics’ which explains almost everything about the elementary particles of which the universe is made. Almost every experiment has confirmed the model in almost every detail, culminating in the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012.”
