Supersymmetry


(Folks, I just couldn't resist it ...)

"In particle physics, supersymmetry (often abbreviated SUSY) is a symmetry that relates elementary particles of one spin to other particles that differ by half a unit of spin and are known as superpartners. In a theory with unbroken supersymmetry, for every type of boson there exists a corresponding type of fermion with the same mass and internal quantum numbers, and vice-versa."

In other words, Supersymmetry is an idea that history repeats itself to solve similar problems.

This woman (again, courtesy of peopleofwalmart.com) proves that the theory is indeed correct.
