        Hi BaryonBing,

        I was answering one of your other questions about the LHC, and was wondering if you had super-symmetrical particles in mind! And here you are…Yes, i am very much fascinated by the theory of super-symmetry!

        Till now, they have not been able to find them, but with the LHC operating this time with double the energy, the Supersymmetry fans can fasten their seatbelts to witness if the LHC is able to generate and detect the super symmetric particles. One theory is that, the dark matter which we think is a heavy dense mass, can be made of these super-symmetrical particles and maybe that these are themselves dense and heavy! SO, if the LHC is able to detect some heavy mass particles, lets hope it be Super-symmetrical particles!
