supergravity
Supersymmetric gravitational theory
Supergravity is a theoretical framework in physics that extends Einstein's general relativity by incorporating supersymmetry—a proposed symmetry between matter particles and force-carrying particles.
The theory emerged in the 1970s as physicists sought to unify gravity with quantum mechanics.
Supergravity posits a hypothetical particle called the gravitino, the supersymmetric partner of the graviton.
While elegant mathematically, the theory remains unconfirmed by experiment.
