Before the Big Bang? Addendum (Origins)

I've run into another article to support my idea that the Standard Model is well understood as a coherent pattern that was used to make predictions:-http://scienceblogs.com/startswithabang/2016/08/17/science-where-finding-nothing-is-the-biggest-victory-of-all-synopsi-
"Reality is what kicks back when you kick it. This is just what physicists do with their particle accelerators. We kick reality and feel it kick back. From the intensity and duration of thousands of those kicks over many years, we have formed a coherent theory of matter and forces, called the standard model, that currently agrees with all observations.” -Victor J. Stenger-"Over the past month, four big experiments looking for new physics have announced their latest results, and all four have come up empty. At the LHC, ATLAS and CMS failed to confirm the existence of a new particle, leaving us with only the Standard Model. At LUX, the most sensitive dark matter search failed to detect anything new. At IceCube, evidence for a sterile neutrino evaporated. And at CERN's MoEDAL experiment, magnetic monopoles failed to show up.-"This might seem like a defeat for physicists, but it's anything but! The Standard Model and General Relativity emerged victorious again, making them the most successful physical theories of all time, having passed test after test robustly and rigorously. There are still mysteries out there waiting to be uncovered, but we're going to have to dig a lot deeper if we want to do it.-Comment 11: -“'What these null results — these non-discoveries — are telling us is something phenomenal and profound: that physics isn't over and done, but rather that the hints of what comes next REQUIRES LOOKING FAR, FAR DEEPER than we're presently looking. That means higher energies, LARGER TELESCOPES, MORE PARTICLE COLLISIONS, MORE SENSISTIVE DETECTORS… and quite likely better, newer ideas than the ones we've been pursuing fruitlessly for so long.”-"In other words, when you spend a lot of time and money finding nothing, you have the perfect justification for asking for MORE TIME and MONEY to (maybe) find something."-Comment: Just my point. Up to this point the findings fit together neatly. We have no idea what is out there to find next.
