Theory Quote by Andrew Thomas

“Unfortunately, no one has ever successfully postulated a super-symmetry holding between two known particles. Instead, in all the supersymmetric theories the numbers of particles…

— Lee Smolin

Scientists have just built the world's biggest supercollider, and they're doing experiments to see what makes up protons. I hope that if the experiment's…

— Frankie Boyle

We know that if supersymmetric particles exist, they must be very heavy; otherwise we would have spotted them by now.

— Brian Greene

I started out working on supersymmetry. The theory predicts that for every particle we know about, there will be an additional particle.

— Lisa Randall

Supersymmetry is a theory which stipulates that for every known particle there should be a partner particle. For instance, the electron should be paired…

— Brian Greene

“Promising steps have been made toward grand unification, the union of weak, electromagnetic, and strong interactions in one compact, non-Abelian gauge group. In most…

— Abraham Pais

“Up to about thirty years ago, it was thought that protons and neutrons were “elementary” particles, but experiments in which protons were collided with…

— Stephen Hawking

An elementary particle is not an independently existing, unanalyzable entity. It is, in essence, a set of relationships that reaches outward to other things.

— Henry Stapp

“In fact, these possibility collapses happen at the level of elementary particles, but they happen in just the same way: one moment several things…

— Philip Pullman

“Despite my resistance to hyperbole, the LHC belongs to a world that can only be described with superlatives. It is not merely large: the…

— Lisa Randall

My work on black holes was on the connection between black holes and elementary particles.

— Ashoke Sen

“Particle-antiparticle pairs fluctuating in the vacuum also permit the fusion of two real photons into a single one, in the presence of an external…
