If the Universe works on gauge symmetry is Physics dead?

Depressingly I found out that we know how the Universe works. Its all logical (based on symmetry and light conservation legacies) its all 'well, it MUST be like that. In a similar way to the Earth is round not flat - ah I see, is that all it is. Now magic has gone, there is no God (definitely) and even life is mechanical. How depressing.
