No. Even though particle physics gets all the media attention, theories like this (and string theory for that matter), are shallow in comparison to statistical mechanics and thermodynamics.
It's exciting to find out what the smallest building blocks look like, but all the real structure in the universe arise from the interactions... and statistical mechanics addresses the interactions at all scales.
Modifications to our understanding of the smallest scales will trickle up to stat mech and thermo, but statistical mechanics is the true heart of physics.
