Peter,
I'm sure there is a Nobel prize in it for you if you care to outline where the derangement of the currently evolving standard model lies.
I will happily admit I don't feel our current standard model is the final answer but I feel it's much better than it was in the 1940's. Even think that it was not long prior to that, mankind believed the atom was as it is named. That which can not be divided. Now the standard model contains 6 leptons, 6 quarks, 4 carriers and the higgs boson.. And to think that the higgs was postulated in the 60s based off calculations derived from the then standard model only to be discovered in 2012 tells me that whilst incomplete the SM is on the right track. I have hope for the graviton, and hope that between the ILC and the LHC we will learn more about dark matter...
But for now I am happy with the standard model, but would be happy to abandon it in a heartbeat if you could put forth a different theory that fits the observed data so well and can unify gravity into the world of the small.
