Would detecting supersymmetry in the Large Hadron Collider confirm the string theory?
By The Professor Question: A current theory is that the fundamental model of physics is comprised of single strand objects called strings. The theory is an attempt to disprove the standard model of particle physics made of point particles. Drawing from numerous theories, the string theory (or superstring theory as it is sometimes called) could unify all the natural forces under the same equations (otherwise known as the theory of everything). However, there are numerous problem with the string theory. Most notably, the string theory has yet to be proven in any experiment or theory. Furthermore, the presence of the string theory can not be completely tied to supersymmetry. Although some scientists believe that the presence of supersymmetry in the Large Hadron Collinder proves the String Theory, some think that the absence of supersymmetry confirms the existence of strings. Answer: Well, I’m doing great, so thanks for asking. My wife Madge and I recently planted a pear tree in our backya
