The End of Physics?

Large Hadron Collider so far confirming the Standard Model exactly

The Large Hadron Collider discovered the Higgs boson. Hooray! Success for the big machine! 

But not really. 

The discovery of the Higgs means that an entire era of physics—in which the so-called Standard Model of particles was theorized and then proven—has come to an end. And the LHC is not creating any new mysteries to investigate. Physics is following the predictions too closely.
