Finding the Higgs boson would not tell us much about gravity or dark matter.

Indeed, that's what I meant by "might", without it though there isn't a whole lot of hope for the current theories as I understand them.

The Higgs boson is predicted by the Standard Model as well, isn't it? It could really cause a lot of trouble if it isn't found. That would be interesting!
