Quotes

 * We have stressed that the cosmological constant (i.e. the dark energy) presents potentially the most striking failure of naturalness. One might hope to solve this problem by introducing new degrees of freedom. Supersymmetry helps to some extent.


 * The only string theories we really understand well have exact supersymmetry.
