Origin of Sheldon's super symmetry

[Melanie H]

Ok.  This is driving me nuts.  The end of season 11, during their wedding, Sheldon references super symmetry before he realizes that super asymmetry is more accurate to describe his breakthrough.  DId he ever reference, in an earlier season, super symmetry?

Yes, he has mentioned it, but only in passing, when discussing other theories.  Super symmetry is a requirement of string theory, and if added to the Standard Model, could solve most of the problems the Standard Model currently has.  One of the problems with Super Symmetry, is that it postulates some more sub atomic particles, some of which should have been found by the LHC.  Contrary to the show, as an FYI, super-asymmetry cannot behave as mentioned in the show, and the experiments discussed don’t really exist. But, the discussion did allow the show to get Sheldon and Amy the Nobel.
