“Two require new physics to explain”
If one observation destroys the whole science of physics, then the science of physics was founded on an uncertain basis and is worth nothing.
It doesn’t destroy physics! Very poor choice of words by the writer. If the observation bares up to more scrutiny there will be an addition to “particle physics theory” and be reconciled with the current model. Maybe it will be so profound a new model is needed. Even then the old model is not destroyed it’s absorbed into the “greater model”. For example Newton is not “destroyed” it’s a subset of Einstein.
