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.
