Is there evidence for supersymmetry? Maria Spiropulu is in search of the elusive partner particles predicted by the theory of supersymmetry. That, in turn, would shed light on mysteries such as dark matter. The renowned Caltech physicist talks about her role in building a detector to fulfill this quest, which cuts across particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology.
Maria Spiropulu is the Shang-Yi Ch'en Professor of Physics at Caltech.

The Lonely Idea - Our Quantum Complex Universe
Transcript
Great science and engineering often begin with a singular hypothesis. But how does a lone spark of innovation become popular science? From Caltech, this is The Lonely Idea.
Rich Wolf, hostThis is your host, Rich Wolf. Joining me for this episode is Maria Spiropulu. Maria is an experimental physicist at Caltech who is building a detector to advance her quest to find evidence of supersymmetry. Supersy
