Will CERN's Large Hadron Collider discover supersymmetry by Dec 31, 2010?
Current forecast: 25% chance 
Combining all predictions, the current forecast is that this is 25% likely to happen (unchanged in last 1 day)
Supersymmetry is an idea in particle physics which says that every elementary particle of nature has a high-energy 'superpartner'. No particle accelerator yet built has been powerful enough to detect these extra particles, but physicists hope the LHC might have what it takes. Supersymmetry could lead to a unified view of the forces of nature and solve the 'dark matter' problem - why 20 percent of the mass of the universe seems to be invisible.
