Abstract
One of the most dramatic predictions of any grand unified theory (GUT) is for the decay of the nucleon.1 The experimental observation of this decay could illuminate the physical principles operating on scales as small as 10−30 cm. In this talk we shall elaborate on the predictions for nucleon decay in supersymmetric (SUSY) GUTs.
