Could supersymmetry explain everything?

Supersymmetry could elegantly explain some of the greatest mysteries of the universe, such as how elementary particles got their mass. The theory endows the elusive Higgs boson, believed to be responsible for giving other known particles their mass, with just the right amount of mass of its own to solve problems introduced by the standard model of particle physics.

But there's no guarantee that supersymmetry is true. The theory introduces a whole new cast of particles that have yet to be observed.
