Which of the following is a proposed extension to the Standard Model that introduces supersymmetry, predicting the existence of superpartners for each known particle?
What is the name of the hypothetical particle that is believed to be responsible for the Higgs mechanism, giving mass to other particles?
Which theory attempts to unify the three fundamental forces of nature (electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force) into a single unified framework?
What is the name of the hypothetical particle that is believed to be the carrier of the gravitational force?
Which theory proposes that all fundamental particles and forces are different manifestations of a single underlying entity called a string?
What is the name of the theory that attempts to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity, providing a quantum description of gravity?
Which of the following is a proposed solution to the hierarchy problem, addressing the large discrepancy between the electroweak scale and the Planck scale?
What is the name of the hypothetical particle that is believed to be responsible for dark matter, a mysterious substance that makes up a large portion of the universe's mass?
Which theory proposes that extra dimensions beyond the three spatial dimensions we experience may exist, potentially explaining certain phenomena like dark matter and the hierarchy problem?
What is the name of the hypothetical particle that is believed to be responsible for neutrino oscillations, a phenomenon where neutrinos can change their flavor as they travel?
Which theory proposes that the universe underwent a period of rapid expansion in its early stages, known as inflation, addressing certain cosmological problems like the horizon problem and the flatness problem?
What is the name of the hypothetical particle that is believed to be responsible for dark energy, a mysterious force that is causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate?
Which theory proposes that the universe is made up of a vast network of strings, with different vibrations of these strings giving rise to different particles and forces?
What is the name of the hypothetical particle that is believed to be responsible for the strong nuclear force, binding protons and neutrons together in atomic nuclei?
