Hi-I know superparticles have something to do with supersymmetry and string theory, but what is the difference betweetn superparticles, paraparticles and hyperparticles?

Hello-Does anyone here have a vast knowledge of elementary particles who can help me out wth this question?
Paraparticles are sometimes referred to as anyons.
These are all hypothetical particles that scientist are trying to prove exist?
Superparticles are the supersymmetric counterparts to normal particles.
Electron - selectron etc...
The others don't exist or at least I've never heard of them outside of nonsensical pseudoscientific woo woo papers.
Mind you though selectrons are only hypothesised to exist but they're at least in some consistent mathematical framework whereas the others are made up by idiots.

I believe you're correct:

I thank you for enlightening me

Did you see the other links I posted?
Yes, I did...but I am not a theoretical physicist and I have no particular reason to devote the time that would be necessary to understand them. I also noticed that they are not very recent and therefore assume that if they contained anything particularly poignant, the gist of it would have filtered down to my level by now.
