“One of the craziest things over these last few crazy years has been watching physics at both ends (subatomic and cosmological) completely fall apart.”
Actually, not.
Actually yes.
At the subatomic level String Theory is a dead end, we are now in the same place we were 30+ years ago.
On the other end, it looks like we have been wrong about the age of the universe by a factor of 2. Dark Matter theory is falling apart and it looks like there may be something fundamentally wrong with our understanding of gravity.
