The standard model of particle physics may be broken

Oh very broken, or rather misshapen by the inherent limitations of our perceptual modeling process.

A 5th force connected to those Muons is expected to be announced soon.

They are very near to 6 sigma (a one in a billion chance there isn`t a new force).

Very nicely written article. I almost understood it  

Seriously though, it looks like the standard model is going to get a rewrite.

Haven't they been saying it was incomplete since like its inception?

Pretty much. And incomplete is a much better description than broken.

Well, considering that the Standard Model only deals with stuff we can see, it's almost certainly going to need some work.

Taking into account Dark Matter and Dark Energy, we can only see or measure about 5% of the entire Universe.  The rest is unknown.  In fact, we haven't yet conclusively demonstrated that Dark Matter or Dark Energy even exist.  It's one explanation for anomalies in the behavior of stars in galaxies (Dark Matter), or of galaxies in the Universe (Dark Energy).  However, it is not the only possible explanation.

But assuming they do exist, we still know almost nothing about them.  So any model we currently have isn't complete, and won't be until we learn more.
