i've read a lot of authors claim that the SM is enormously successful, that it has passed every experiment with flying colors, etc etc, i won't bother with quotes because i think everyone agrees on that. yet I've also read that the amount of dark energy that the SM predicts is off by anywhere from 116 to 123 orders of magnitude (different authors give different numbers). so if the SM is so amazingly successful then why does it fail in the face of dark energy?
