There are alternative theories and models in particle physics that challenge or modify the Standard Model. One such theory is the Lorentz-violating Standard Model Extension (SME), which postulates that the laws of physics may not be perfectly symmetric under Lorentz transformations and that this symmetry breaking could manifest itself in different ways, including a modification of the Higgs sector.

In the SME, Lorentz symmetry is not an exact symmetry of nature, and a small amount of symmetry violation is allowed. This can have implications for the behavior of particles and their interactions, including the possible absence of the Higgs boson as a fundamental particle.

However, it is important to note that the Standard Model has been extensively tested and validated through experiments, and the discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012 was a major triumph for the model. While alternative theories and models are important for advancing scientific understanding, they must be supported by empirical evidence and rigorous testing in order to be considered valid.

Overall, the scientific process involves ongoing inquiry and refinement of theories and models, and it is possible that our current understanding of particle physics may change as new evidence emerges.
