Beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics

tanmay writes "As time moves on, the case for supersymmetry keeps getting stronger. Physicsweb is reporting about an experiment that measures the relation between the spin of the muon and its magnetic moment, called the g-factor. The latest experiment is described as the most significant deviation to date between experiment and theory in particle physics, thus offering the clearest hint so far of new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. We will know for sure if supersymmetry holds it's ground by 2007, when the Large Hadron Collider will commence operation."

1) string theory

Take a string and tie a slipknot. Then insert a loop of the string into the loop of the slipknot you just tied. Then repeat by inserting another loop into your new loop. Repeat this until you have a chain of about 80 loops.

2) superstring theory

Put a loop into the loop before the last loop you made. Then put a loop into both the loop before that and the current loop. Continue backwards until youcomplete another row. A smooth hook shaped stick makes this easier. Make 22 more rows for a total of 24. The dimensions ( 80x24 ) are pleasing to the eye.

3) supersymetry

Notice that the left side is the same as the right side, and the top half is the same as the bottom half. If you don't have a hamster in need of a blanket, pull the string until the whole thing unravels. What fun! Try it with the universe.
