- | Supergravity is a proposed theory of [[theories:speculative_theories:quantum_gravity|quantum gravity]], i.e. a theory that unifies [[theories:classical_theories:general_relativity|general relativity]] with [[theories:quantum_theory|quantum theory]]. | + | |
- | <tabbox Layman> | + | The basic idea of supergravity is that [[theories:speculative_theories:supersymmetry|supersymmetry]] is a [[advanced_tools:gauge_symmetry|gauge symmetry]]. |
- | <note tip> | + | When we combine these two ideas we end up automatically with a particle that looks like the particle that we expect to mediate gravity - the graviton. |
- | Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party. | + | |

- | <note tip>The basic idea of supergravity is to [[advanced_tools:gauge_symmetry|gauge]] supersymmertry. In the process of doing this at least one spin $2$ particle emerges, which is then interpreted as the gravitation that mediates gravity. </note> | + | The basic idea of supergravity is to [[advanced_tools:gauge_symmetry|gauge]] supersymmertry.
