Class Notes
This discussion is the clearest summary of super symmetry and string theory I've heard. String theory was described as “a framework for a theory”.
The class notes…
Fermions constitute matter and includes:
- neutrinos
- electrons
- quarks
Bosons are transmitters of energy and comprises:
- the W boson which communicates the weak nuclear force
- gluons hold subatomic particles together
- gravitons communicate gravity
- photons express light
As the discussion goes on you have to ask yourself: Does this sound like science or imagination clothing itself in scientism?
