Finding Supersymmetry: What will it mean?

In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of supersymmetry and its potential implications on our understanding of the universe. It is suggested that supersymmetric particles may be a candidate for dark matter and that the idea of the universe being isotropic may be linked to supersymmetry. However, there is some confusion and disagreement on the topic.

Layman's terms what doors will be opened by proving it?
What will it say about reality?
Will it mean the universe is bigger than we know?

Am I right when I tell my kids that Supersymmetry are mirror images of partials that are symmetrical in shape, but heavier than their partner?

Thank you

From what I have read and been told, supersymmetric particles are a possible candidate for dark matter.

when we say dat unvierse is super symmetric we say dat from any point in the universe if u look in any direction da universe will look da same...welll dis helps in renormalizing da infinities caused due to virtual particles...(a result of da uncertainity rule..)

The universe looking the same in every direction is called isotropy not supersymmetry.

Does everybody have a supersymmetric partner? And if so, what would happen if I shook hands with him.
 

Related to Finding Supersymmetry: What will it mean?

What is supersymmetry?

Supersymmetry is a theoretical concept in physics that proposes a symmetry between elementary particles and their corresponding superpartners. It is a key component of many theories that aim to unify the four fundamental forces in nature.

Why is finding supersymmetry important?

If supersymmetry is found to exist in nature, it would provide a deeper understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the universe and potentially lead to a more complete theory of everything. It could also help explain certain phenomena, such as the existence of dark matter.

How will we know when supersymmetry is discovered?

Scientists are currently searching for evidence of supersymmetric particles through experiments at the Large Hadron Collider and other high-energy particle accelerators. If a supersymmetric particle is detected, it would confirm the existence of supersymmetry.

What are the potential implications of finding supersymmetry?

Some of the potential implications of finding supersymmetry include validating various theories of particle physics, providing a solution to the hierarchy problem (the large discrepancy between the weak and gravitational forces), and potentially opening up new avenues for technological advancements.

Are there any challenges to finding supersymmetry?

Yes, there are several challenges to finding supersymmetry. One of the biggest challenges is that it requires extremely high-energy collisions, which can only be achieved in large and expensive particle accelerators. Additionally, there is currently no experimental evidence for supersymmetry, which makes it a purely theoretical concept at this point.
