hypothesizes a broken symmetry

'''Supersymmetry''' (or '''SUSY''') is a theory of particle physics, originally proposed in 1973 by Julius Wess and Bruno Zumino, that seeks to explain the symmetry observed between the families of elementary particles known as [[Bosons]] and [[Fermions]].  Supersymmetry predicts that every fundamental fermion has a bosonic superpartner, and every fundamental boson has a fermionic superpartner.  In 2008, the [[Large Hadron Collider]] at CERN will offer the best chance to detect these new particles predicted by Supersymmetry.

None of these particles has ever been observed and there is no direct evidence for them.  In 2008, the [[Large Hadron Collider]] at CERN will offer the best chance to detect these new particles predicted by supersymmetry.
