This is the third book in the series that included 'The Theory of Nothing' the "The Universe Revealed.' My purpose in this new book is to more fully explain how science is actually done and how science fits into our culture along with religion and p...
Super symmetry has been in the news of late because of Dr. Michio Kaku, the theoretical physicist at the City College of New York, who has cited this theory as the reason to believe that the universe was created by a higher intelligence. Basically, he claiming that there is no such thing as chance.
Okay, what the heck is Super Symmetry?

This theory goes back to 1966 and Hironani Miyazawa, a Japanese particle physicist. It established a symmetry relationship between mesons and baryons. Mesons are hadronic particles that consist of one quark and one antiquark bound together by the strong nuclear interaction. Baryons are also hadronic particles that consist of three quarks. Hadrons are particles that consist of quarks held together by the strong nuclear force. These are the things that make up matter.

The current Super Symmetry theory theorizes a relationship between bosons and fermions. Notable bosons are photons and gluons. These are particles that carry force. The Higgs boson carries mass. Fermions are the particles that make up matter, like protons, neutrons and electrons.

What Super Symmetry says is that each particle in one class would have a super partner in the other class. Why this theory is theoretical is because all of these partner particles have not been discovered. All of the current discovered particles exist in the Standard Model, which shows the particles and their characteristics of spin, mass, and energy. The bosons have an integer spin while the fermions have a half-integer spin.
