There's nothing audacious (risky) about predicting a subatomic particle. Replaced with enigmatic, but there's probably a better adjective to describe it.
The '''Standard Model''' of [[Particle|particle]] physics is a [[quantum field theory]] that explains [[Electromagnetism|electromagnetism]], [[Strong nuclear force|strong]] and [[Weak interaction|weak]] [[Nuclear|nuclear]] interactions in a unified framework. It is a non-[[abelian]] gauge theory with the gauge [[Group|group]] [[Unitary group|SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)]].

It was formulated in the 1970s and has withstood all experimental tests. It has only been modified by adding mass to the electron neutrino. Physicists are currently looking for its most audacious prediction, the [[Higgs boson]].
