This result could change physics forever

I am not a physicist, just an civilian enthusiast. I am somewhat of a mechanical engineer by training although changed my track early on. So I had some training in science and mathematics that I hated very much at that period of time in my life.  About 10 years ago came across opinions expressed by several scientist writing pop-science books  that science can reveal beauty of the Universe that is not unlike the beauty of Nature that we can see with our own senses but that Universe beauty that requires some learning to appreciate it. So I did and I do see the beauty of the standard model and theories by Einstein and other great scientists. A renowned scientist, Carlo Rovelli, writes books for us, the pop-science crowd while doing his real work. I don't remember in which book he compared our current knowledge of the Universe but the point of the story was that the ancient Greeks and Romans created a system to explain and predict the movements of planets that was based on a geocentric system. It was gears within gears within gears but it worked for them. We might be doing the same with the Standard Model and other things while we can't grasp quantum mechanics. If we ever will.
