Supersymmetry Puns

I believe every verse in Supersymmetry corresponds with each album.

Verse 1/Funeral "I know you're living in my mind, but it's not the same as being alive" - ties in with the theme of death

Verse 2/ Neon Bible "If telling the truth is not polite, then I guess we'll have to fight" = Mentions fighting which war/fighting is reoccurring theme of neon bible

Verse 3 / The Suburbs "I lived for a year in a bed by the window, reading books, better than memories, wanna feel the seaosons passing, wanna feel the spring"= The Suburbs and the themes of isolation and the passing of time

Verse 4 / Reflektor "It's been awhile since I've been to see you, don't know where but you're not with me, heard a voice like an echo, but it came from me" = Reflektor, mentions an ecbo which appears through a few songs on the album and mistaking his own voice as someone else's could be a reference to the Oh Orpheus (It's Never Over)

Maybe a stretch or I'm looking into the song too much, but I've had this theory for years now and I'd like to share my thoughts. I'm not trying to say it's the definitive meaning behind the song but it's fun to think about I think

Anyone know anything abour physics? I wonder how much of Fred's speech and science actually made sense or what she just throwing out T-words.

I'd love to hear if anyone understood!

This whole rewatch series is about how your perspective on a thing can change after 20 years, and wow, does this episode highlight that contrast! But let's not belabor the intro here...

s04e05 - "Supersymmetry"

Fred publishes a physics theory in an academic journal, and is invited to speak by her old professor. While speaking a portal opens above her and tentacles grab at her. Angel and Wes save the day.

The investigation allows for some great lines and funny moments with Angel. Absolutely some of his best scenes. "They talk about me in the chatty rooms?" Beauty.

It's discovered that her old professor not only opened this portal, but is also responsible for sending her and many others over the years to Pylea. She wants revenge.

Before I continue with this... let's quickly address the B and C plots.

B-plot: Cordy and Connor start getting romantic. There's a kiss. It's just disgusting. That's, like, your mother-figure dude! Just... eeeewwwwwww...

C-plot: Lilah tries to patch things up with Wesley with a gift, but he walks out on her offer of sexytimes and goes to see Fred speak instead. Lilah jealous.

There's this hilarious scene where Angel impotently threatens her:

Angel: "About Lorne, there's going to be a conversation."

Lilah: "You know, Angel, coming from you, idle threats are so - well - idle."

Angel sticks one hand down through the hole in the car's roof and wiggles his fingers in front of Lilah's face.

Angel: "Do you remember when I ripped your car in half?"

Lilah starting the car: "Yeah. Hulk smash."

Owned.

Okay... so...

Fred's seeing red. She wants revenge on the professor. The stabby shooty killy kind. Gunn and Angel give her the moral-high-ground "you don't want to do that because it'll stay with you" speech (despite casual murder of intelligent beings being every day around there), and fail to convince her to let it go or let them handle it. She goes to Wes for help and learns how to open the portal to Pylea. While trying to send the prof to hell, Gunn interferes and kills the prof before she's able to.

20 years ago I thought he did the right thing. I thought he was saving her soul, and that once she had a little perspective on it she'd be glad she didn't do something so evil.

But now that I'm older... wow, no, screw that!!

Angel and Gunn were condescending in the extreme, acting like she didn't have the right to her desire for revenge. (Note: if the positions were reversed it wouldn't have even been an issue.)

And G

What is supersymmetry? How can one explain supersymmetry in layman terms? What is the significance of supersymmetry?

I vaguely recall hearing the SuperSymmetry (Susy) was looking like less of a candidate.

But I don't understand what the evidence is that supports the rejection.

Thanks everyone.

We study the imprint of higher spin supermultiplets on cosmological correlators, namely the non-Gaussianity of the cosmic microwave background. Supersymmetry is used as a guide to introduce the contribution of fermionic higher spin particles, which have been neglected thus far in the literature.

This necessarily introduces more than just a single additional fermionic superpartner, since the spectrum of massive, higher spin supermultiplets includes two propagating higher spin bosons and two propagating higher spin fermions, which all contribute to the three-point function. As an example we consider the half-integer superspin Y=s+1/2 supermultiplet, which includes particles of spin values j=s+1, j=s+1/2, j=s+1/2 and j=s.

We compute the curvature perturbation 3-point function for higher spin particle exchange and find that the known Ps(cosθ) angular dependence is accompanied by superpartner contributions that scale as P_s+1(cosθ) and ∑_m P_s^m(cosθ), with P_s and _s^m defined as the Legendre and Associated Legendre polynomials respectively. We also compute the tensor-scalar-scalar 3-point function, and find a complicated angular dependence as an integral over products of Legendre and associated Legendre polynomials.

On the theoretical front, an important next step is to construct the full theory of spontaneously broken supersymmetry (as in de Sitter supergravity and the supersymmetric EFT of inflation) and interacting higher spin fields. From this one can generalize the analysis here to situations where the higher spin fields themselves contribute to the supersymmetry breaking, or perhaps even drive inflation. We leave this possibility, and a host of observational implications, to future work.

2020 opened (not really) with a superhero movie: Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (BoP)

2020 is ending with a superhero movie: Wonder Woman 1984 (WW84)

Both BoP and WW84 are DCEU movies

Both BoP and WW84 are directed by female director

Both BoP and WW84 have female actor as lead/titular character

Both BoP and WW84 are sequel/spin-off of financially successful movies (Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman)

By January this year, both BoP and WW84 were predicted by this sub to do wicked awesome in box office.

BoP: $500-$600 million (DC fans predicted $700 million+)

https://www.reddit.com/r/boxoffice/comments/f25esm/a_look_back_at_prediction_threads_for_birds_of/

WW84: $800-$900 million (DC fans predicted $1 billion+)

Here's my comment in the thread:

>I have learnt by now that if a DC movie is predicted low by DC fans, than the movie will gross high. And if it is predicted high by DC fans, the movie will gross not so high.

>In this thread, all DC fans predicted 1 billlion+.

>So I will take the under.

Both BoP and WW84 had amazing social media first reaction and great reviews initially dropping at 89%-91% RT, which sent DC fans going ballistic in ecstasy.

BoP: https://www.reddit.com/r/boxoffice/comments/ezcmnk/birds_of_prey_reviews_are_in_updated_predictions/

WW84: https://www.reddit.com/r/boxoffice/comments/kdpkgs/wonder_woman_1984_review_megathread/

Even in prediction WW84 reviews thread just over a week ago, most people predicted sky high ratings and scores for WW84, and anyone who was less effusive about WW84 was immediately and ferociously attacked:

https://www.reddit.com/r/boxoffice/comments/kcrden/what_will_ww84s_rt_and_audience_scores_be/

Both BoP and WW84 scores then steadily went down in both RT (tomatometer and average critics rating) and Metacritic since initial reviews dropped. And in the case of WW84, the decline is so rapid, from 89% to 67% in just over a week, making it lose "certified fresh" status in just a week, a rare occasion.

BoP grossed $200 million worldwide, which will be WW84 ceiling.

According to supersymmetry what particle from the other side more likely to be detected first

It appears that LHC has practically excluded most plausible SUSY theories. Supposing that there are no SUSY left, how much value would String Theory retain? Could it still describe reality? Can it describe fermions without SUSY?

This is the one where Fred is giving a talk and almost gets sucked into a portal by a big squiggly monster and Angel and Gunn go to talk to a kid that was at the talk and the kid is like hey you’re Angel right we talk about you all the time in the forums and chat rooms and when they’re leaving Angel is like they talk about me in the chatty rooms? And sounds really excited and I’m thinking about how he would absolutely lose his marbles if he knew about Reddit and how many threads are specifically about him and his exploits😂😂😂

I LOVE reflektor. I’m so in love with every other track that it might even be my favourite arcade fire album. But I can't put supersymmetry anywhere and the ”her” fact doesn't help me love it more so I wanted to know what you guys think. am I the only one who doesn't seem to connect with the song?

Hi, I know this might be a long shot but I’m really having trouble deriving the anti-commutation relations for massive supermultiplets in extended super symmetry I’ve posted a link to the real end question on physics stack exchange. Any help would be greatly appreciated
