Supersymmetry is a theoretical framework that proposes a deep connection between the fundamental types of particles in physics, namely fermions (which constitute matter) and bosons (which mediate forces). It postulates that for every known particle, there exists a corresponding, heavier partner particle, often called a superpartner. This hypothesized symmetry suggests that matter and force are linked at a foundational level, and its inclusion into models of particle physics can help unify the various fundamental forces. While the superpartners have not yet been detected experimentally, the theory offers potential mechanisms for addressing several outstanding issues within the Standard Model, including the nature of particle mass and the overall stability of the universe.
