ShowingImportancePrizesTopicBeyond the Standard Model5 claims

The question of whether the Standard Model is extended by new particles, interactions, or modifications at any energy scale — including the 'desert' hypothesis that no new physics appears up to the Planck scale. Claims asserting, denying, or constraining new physics beyond the Standard Model belong here, regardless of stance.

No new physics modifies the Standard Model below the Higgs potential instability scale.
