Supersymmetry: A Bold Idea Beyond the Standard Model

Supersymmetry (SUSY) is a theory proposing every known particle has a heavier “superpartner.”
In SUSY, fermions (matter particles) pair with bosons (force carriers), and vice versa.
These superpartners could help explain the mystery of dark matter.
Supersymmetry would solve the puzzle of why the Higgs boson’s mass is so stable.
No supersymmetric particles have yet been observed in experiments.
The Large Hadron Collider has searched for SUSY but found no clear evidence so far.
If true, supersymmetry could unify the four fundamental forces at high energies.
SUSY predicts entire families of new particles, like squarks, sleptons, and gluinos.
Many physicists see it as a natural extension of the Standard Model.
Whether proven or disproven, supersymmetry continues to shape the search for new physics.
