He died in a "Duel" at age 20, leaving his "Math legacy" on a few sheets of paper written the night before he died. : '''Murray Gell-Mann's 'Eightfold Way'''' β Using the SU(3) group to "Categorize" all the messy subatomic particles, bringing "Order" to the "Particle Zoo." : '''The 'Standard Model' Lagrangian''' β The "Shortest Equation" for the whole world, which is just a list of the **U(1) x SU(2) x SU(3)** symmetries. : '''Supersymmetry (SUSY)''' β A "Guess" at a "New Symmetry" between "Matter" and "Force." If true, it would "Double" the number of particles in the universe.
