Scientists hypothesize that all the particles known in the Standard Model of particle physics, such as electrons, neutrons, and quarks, belong to a particle category called "supersymmetric partners." Dark matter is a form of stuff that cannot be detected with traditional sensors but can be discovered by its gravitational effects. Some scientists believe that a particle is known as the wino — the W boson's supersymmetric companion — might help explain dark matter.
The alkaline nature of earthenware or clay pots neutralizes the acidic nature of food, maintains the pH balance, and makes food simple for you to digest.
