That's not quite accurate. There are a few things that the Standard Model doesn't exactly account for--neutrino oscillation being the most famous. The trouble is that these issues aren't really big enough to suggest new physics, and the experiments aren't good enough to really suggest how much patching actually needs to be done.

- pfdietz 2y agoI thought the Higgs had an unexpectedly small mass. https://home.cern/news/news/physics/incredible-lightness-higgs https://home.cern/news/news/physics/incredible-lightness-hig...
- btilly 2y agoYes, there are some deviations. But minor adjustments to the Standard Model handles those. And don't really point in the direction of a better theory. More relevantly to the previous question, I'm not aware of any of those which affect interactions with the strong or weak nuclear forces.
- jcranmer 2y agoNeutrinos predominantly work via the weak interaction, don't they?
