The concept of a round Earth predates the standard model of physics by 2,000 years (see: Eratosthenes). Said concept is no more dependent on the standard model than it is on Newtonian mechanics, relativity, quantum loop gravity, string theory or M-theory.
Also the fact that the LHC is shutting down makes little difference, which you would know if you took the time to understand what you posted:
"Scientists won't be idle during the tunnel's shutdown: CERN's mass-storage systems are hanging onto 100 quadrillion bytes of data to analyze, most of which was acquired over the past year. CERN says that amount of data is equivalent to about 700 years' worth of HD-quality movies."
