Romans believed that everything in the universe was made of four elements: earth, wind, fire, and water. Soon thereafter, physicists discovered molecules and then atoms and then subatomic particles, etc. In this chat we will start with a definition of supersymmetry — the principle that explains everything in the universe. From there we will explore everything — starting with the Standard Model of particle physics (proven by particle accelerators around the world). Then we move to string theory, loop quantum gravity, the multiverse, and worlds beyond.
