what is mass hierarchy problem.i have some idea of solving this ,i can do lot of mathematics but i want to understand fine tuning,and i want why supersymmetry is preferred to solve mass hierarchy problem

The mass hierarchy problem is a puzzle in particle physics that refers to the significant difference between the masses of the fundamental particles in the Standard Model. This discrepancy cannot be explained by the theory itself and requires further understanding and potential solutions.
The mass hierarchy problem is important because it could potentially provide insights into the fundamental laws of physics and help us understand the nature of the universe. It also has implications for the search for a grand unified theory that can unify all the fundamental forces of nature.
Some proposed solutions to the mass hierarchy problem include supersymmetry, where every known particle has a heavier partner particle, and extra dimensions, where gravity is stronger in these additional dimensions and can account for the mass discrepancy. Other theories involve modifications to the Higgs mechanism or the introduction of new particles.
One way to experimentally test solutions to the mass hierarchy problem is through high-energy particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). By colliding particles at high energies, scientists can search for evidence of new particles or interactions that could explain the mass hierarchy problem.
If the mass hierarchy problem is successfully solved, it could have significant implications for our understanding of the fundamental laws of physics and the nature of the universe. It could also lead to advancements in technology and potentially open up new possibilities for space travel and energy production.
