Collider physics is not the whole of particle physics. There are in fact known inconsistencies in the standard model (for example, experimental evidence shows neutrinos have mass[0]) that remain unexplained and need further study.

There's also the whole issue of figuring out what dark matter is made out of. Neutrinos account for a small part of it, but the rest is completely unknown.

  Dark matter is a supersolid that fills 'empty' space, strongly interacts with ordinary matter and is displaced by ordinary matter. What is referred to geometrically as curved spacetime physically exists in nature as the state of displacement of the supersolid dark matter. The state of displacement of the supersolid dark matter is gravity. The supersolid dark matter displaced by a galaxy pushes back, causing the stars in the outer arms of the galaxy to orbit the galactic center at the rate in which they do. Displaced supersolid dark matter is curved spacetime.

    I have a few questions: 1) What exactly do you mean by a supersolid? 2) How would this be described mathematically? What predictions would your theory make? 3) How does this account for some galaxies seeming to have large amounts of dark matter, and others seeming to have less? 4) What predictions does your theory make with regards to the expansion of the universe? 5) What predictions does this theory have with regards to places with extreme gravity, such as neutron stars and black holes?

It takes a truly reactionary definition of "standard model" to claim that it's inconsistent with neutrino masses. The extension is straightforward and was not part of the original formulation simply because there was no experimental data requiring it when Weinberg first wrote down his model of leptons. He also didn't include quarks, so by the same logic, the "standard model" is inconsistent with those too.
