Supersymmetry: A Bold Idea Beyond the Standard Model

Supersymmetry (SUSY) proposes every known particle has a heavier “superpartner” yet to be discovered.
SUSY could solve the hierarchy problem, explaining why gravity is so much weaker than other forces.
Supersymmetric particles are candidates for dark matter, potentially explaining the universe’s missing mass.
The theory extends the Standard Model, aiming for a more complete description of fundamental particles and forces.
SUSY predicts a mirror world of fermions and bosons, each paired with a superpartner.
Despite decades of searching, no supersymmetric particles have been detected—yet.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a key tool in testing supersymmetry theories.
Supersymmetry helps unify forces at high energies, a step toward a Theory of Everything.
SUSY-inspired models provide elegant mathematical solutions to problems in particle physics and cosmology.
If confirmed, supersymmetry could revolutionize our understanding of matter, energy, and the cosmos itself.
