WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Breakthrough Prize awarded to architects of supergravity (SUGRA) https://www.symmetrymagazine.org/article/breakthrough-prize-awarded-to-architects-of-supergravity
One (aka, yours truly over here), feels quite in awe. Having devoted a part of my (research life to supersymmetry (cf below in the ''.'' text) and feeling that I may have lost the route on stormy, foggy seas, just a glimpse of a star or so, if any, this fills the air with a sense of 'maybe it was worth...' II may point, pray, http://www.springer.com/978-3-642-11574-5, http://www.springer.com/978-3-642-11569-1. Or https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007%2F978-3-642-11570-7 and https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007%2F978-3-642-11575-2.

From https://www.symmetrymagazine.org/article/breakthrough-prize-awarded-to-architects-of-supergravity :
''Our world is governed by general relativity, which sees gravity as the effects of massive objects warping spacetime. The world of particle physics, on the other hand, envisions all forces as mediated by force-carrying particles—and ignores gravity entirely.
Today, the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics was awarded to three theorists who proposed a way to marry these contradictory descriptions: with a theory called “supergravity.”
Supergravity builds upon a popular concept called supersymmetry. Supersymmetry rounds out the mathematics of the Standard Model of particle physics—the best description physicists have of the rules and players in the subatomic universe—by adding a host of new particles to the mix. Supergravity takes supersymmetry one step further by adding gravity, via two new particles called the graviton and gravitino, and a new mathematical interpretation of spacetime.
The award goes to physicists Sergio Ferrara, Daniel Z. Freedman, and Peter van Nieuwenhuizen, who started developing the theory of supergravity at CERN in Geneva and completed it in 1976 at Stony Brook University in New York. The theory has not been proven experimentally, but it has remained influential in the decades since it was first proposed.''
