supersymmetry
Supersymmetry is a fundamental concept in theoretical physics that proposes a symmetry between matter particles (fermions) and force-carrying particles (bosons). It suggests that for every known particle, there exists a partner particle with similar properties but differing by half a unit of spin. This symmetry has important implications for understanding the fundamental forces and particles in the universe, as well as potential connections with theories like string theory and the search for dark matter.
