[QUOTE="Fayredeth, post: 35878, member: 353"] [b]Sheeesh...[/b] Well, it looks like I was "drafted" into this conversation, before I even saw it :). Sparticles: Sparticles are the product of the Supersymmetry Theory that helps explain the current structure of the cosmos from the first instants after the Big Bang to now. The theory states that each particle of our "normal" matter has an accompanying sparticle (leptons=sleptons, quarks=squarks, neutrinos=sneutrinos, photons=photinos, W particles=winos, etc.), but the sparticles weigh much more (the most massive is theorized to be about 1000 times more massive than a proton). They have not yet been observed, but they don't occur naturally in nature anymore; they disappeared from the universe when the "supersymmetry" broke just .000000000000000000000000000000000034 seconds after the Big Bang. Particle physicists hope to observe some when they finish building an atom-smasher at CERN in Europe around 2005, because the equipment that we have right now does not put enough power into the speeding particles.
