I'm not a professional physicist but it would seem unlikely that one discovery would permanently wipe generations of fruitful knowledge and imagination which has passed the eyes of some of the most brilliant minds that ever walked the planet. Not to say that it can't happen, but it would be more likely that we are missing a component/relationship that we don't understand about our reality either because we don't have to the physical senses to detect it or the technology to measure it. I'd highly consider studying some physics even if you view yourself as a layman, it can geniunely be immense fun!
