All theories are great until they are proven false.
Many of the theories that were discovered have small "glitches" when looked very close.
At least that is what I remember for many mathematical theorems.
They only work in certain conditions.
That’s right. We already know that relativity runs into problems on really small scales.
It’ll be interesting to see what these newly observed glitches are.

At first, the glitch was that gravity was weaker at cosmic scale than at solar system scale. But now they are saying that it is not just a glitch, and that we need a complete new understanding of the universe at large scale.
We don't know what is dark energy and dark matter and we want to pretend to understand the universe at large scales.

That makes sense. Each model is a good approximation of phenomena at the scales we've observed so far. As we encounter new scales of space-time, we'll probably need new models to explain those phenomena.
