One of the craziest things over these last few crazy years has been watching physics at both ends (subatomic and cosmological) completely fall apart.

Physics hasn't gone anywhere.
Our understanding of it, well, that's another matter.

The attempted deliberate undermining of "science" -- often driven by political objectives -- continues to accelerate. Then again, these are two very different things: Science vs. Political Science, both of which have been around for a long time. The political goal is, as with so many other terms (e.g., "immigrant"/"illegal alien"; "gender"/"sex" to mention but two), to conflate the terms and sow confusion, confusion being a necessary element to achieve a much larger political objective: replace our Republic with a totalitarian government). It all fits if you think about it.

??The Standard Model is more robust and confirmed than ever.

The physics hasn’t fallen apart. The injection of junk science has totally corrupted the integrity of physics.

Actually, not.
