	Summary In writing, a summary is shortened version of the original text. The main purpose of such an simplification is to get the major points across of the original text, which is much longer so that a person may get the "gist" of the literature in a short period of time. Many politicians and cabinet members in governments read only the summarized versions of laws since to read the full text of every bill that came their way may either be impossible, impractical, or simply unappealing.

	Supernatural The supernatural refers to forces and phenomena which are not observed in nature, and therefore beyond verifiable measurement. If a phenomenon can be demonstrated, it can no longer be considered supernatural. Because phenomena must be subject to verifiable measurement and peer review to contribute to scientific theories, science cannot approach the supernatural; see scientific method.

In supersymmetric theories, every fundamental fermion has a bosonic superpartner and vice versa. Assumption of supersymmetry mitigates and explains several problems in the Standard Model of particle physics, but conversely introduces complications of its own.
