Supermultiplet

A supermultiplet is a group of particles, like the electron and proton, that all have similar properties but behave differently. It's like a family with members that all look and act differently. Think of it like a family of animals, like cats. They all have four legs, whiskers, fur, and tails, but each cat looks and behaves differently. Supermultiplets are like this with particles, where they all have similar properties (like the cats all have four legs, whiskers, fur, and tails) but they behave differently (like cats can act calm or crazy).
