What is Supersymmetry?

In this video, Fermilab's Dr. Don Lincoln describes the principle of supersymmetry in an easy-to-understand way.  A theory is supersymmetric if it treats forces and matter on an equal footing.  While supersymmetry is an unproven idea, it is popular with particle physics researchers as a possible next step in particle physics.
