Desperately seeking supersymmetry (SUSY)

The discovery of x-rays and radioactivity in the waning years of the 19th century led to one of the most awe-inspiring scientific eras in human history. The 20th century witnessed a level of scientific discovery never before seen or imagined. At the dawn of the 20th century only two forces of nature were known—gravity and electromagnetism. The atom was believed by chemists to be the elemental, indestructible unit of matter, coming in many unexplainably different forms. Yet J J Thomson, soon…
