Proof that Our Planet is 1D

It is impossible. Suppose the real line, $\mathbb{R}$, is your 1D space and that $\alpha:\mathbb{R}\to \mathrm{Earth}$ is an homeomorphism (physics is more than only topology, but at least the topolol …

In what sense is SUSY a spacetime symmetry?

So indeed, SUSY is related with spacetime in the sense that the generators of this symmetry are intertwined with those of the Poincaré group (=spacetime symmetries) in the relations $$ [P_\alpha,P_\beta … These add to spacetime "fermionic" extra dimensions, if you want. …
