- | The basic idea of supergravity is that the [[theories:speculative_theories:supersymmetry|supersymmetry]] is a [[advanced_tools:gauge_symmetry|gauge symmetry]]. | + | The basic idea of supergravity is that [[theories:speculative_theories:supersymmetry|supersymmetry]] is a [[advanced_tools:gauge_symmetry|gauge symmetry]]. |
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. | 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. | ||
