I had a photoshoot scheduled with a young Somali man. He was late by over an hour, and I had another shoot after so I had to cancel. I rescheduled and told him if he was late for the next shoot I wouldn’t be rescheduling again. He said he wouldn’t be…inshallah.

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.

Yes, 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.

In 1905, Einstein interpreted experimental data to mean that light is “quantized,” coming in discrete particles now called photons.
