Superfluidity and supersolidity is a Bose exchange effect. This theory of this complex many-body phenomenon is simple, natural, straightforward, and crystal-clear. It is a victory of quantum mechanics! Once the quantum nature of superfluidity is revealed, The related important physical issues, such as the relationship between superfluidity and BEC, the origin of rotons, are resolved in a simple and natural way.
