The Day a 1/100,000 Fluctuation Became a Galaxy: Yasunori Nomura Discusses the Unbelievably Perfect Conditions of the Universe

A 1/100,000 fluctuation as the condition for the formation of a galaxy; the invisible 70% void; the gap between gravity and quantum mechanics. Drawing on a conversation with Yasunori Nomura, we take a panoramic view—extending all the way to holography—of the sense of incongruity inherent in a universe that seems “too perfect,” and shift our perspective toward an appreciation of its fragility.

Sean Carroll on Vanishing Stripes and the Reality of the Wave Function

Quantum mechanics has spanned 100 years without a clear definition of what “measurement” is. Focusing on Sean’s Many-Worlds Interpretation, this exploration traces a single thread from the divide between those who view the wave function as a tool and those who view it as a reality—covering everything from the interference patterns in the double-slit experiment and the disappearance of time to the origin of the arrow and attempts to model a cyclic universe.

Yasunori Nomura's 61-Minute Journey Through the Layers of Physics

The Standard Model, dark matter, grand unified theories, and quantum gravity.Physicist Yasunori Nomura traces the layered map of theories in 61 minutes. The distinction between phenomena, theories, and properties; how the meanings of words shift over time; and the disconnect between names and their actual meanings. With this map of terminology in hand, the big picture of physics comes together.

When the laws of physics shift slightly in the world of mirrors Exploring why the universe and we "exist without vanishing"

At the beginning of the universe, matter and antimatter should have been created in perfect one-to-one pairs. Why did we escape the fate of colliding and annihilating into light, allowing us to exist here and now?This article delves into the miracle of "CP symmetry breaking" woven by the universe's smallest particles and the ultimate question pursued by the massive DUNE project, based on explanations by Shion Kubota, a PhD candidate in physics at Harvard University conducting neutrino research.

Is a Black Hole the Universe's Most Powerful Computer? Professor Masato Yamazaki of the University of Tokyo Discusses "The Portal of Mathematical Formulas"

Based on a dialogue between Professor Masato Yamazaki at the University of Tokyo and Kenichiro Mogi, this book delves deeply into extreme physics topics such as "superstring theory," "the information paradox of black holes," and "the multiverse and the anthropic principle," as well as the redefinition of "intelligence and consciousness" that comes with the development of AI. It will take you on a grand journey of intellectual exploration that will overturn your everyday intuition and approach the truth of the universe and the meaning of our existence from a completely new perspective.

"Time Does Not Exist": The Cosmic Truths Physics Reveals and Physical "Conviction" in the AI Era

The shocking truth that "time" in physics is merely a "hypothesis" introduced to explain the motion and change of objects. From relativity theory to the multiverse, and the differences between AI and human intelligence, this book shatters the illusion of "time" we unconsciously believe in, based on a dialogue with Professor Sō Matsuura of Keio University, delving deep into the essence of the universe.

Why is the electron's mass such a strange value? Professor Yasunori Nomura, astrophysicist, discusses the "Multiverse" and the profound reason for our existence.

Professor Yasunori Nomura of the University of California, Berkeley discusses the "Multiverse (Theory of Multiple Universes)". This article thoroughly explores the cosmic truth implied by the seemingly random yet "special value" of the electron's mass.From Einstein's theories to the latest quantum gravity theories, blending Eastern philosophy and Yogācāra thought with a unique perspective, this overwhelming analysis probes the "essence of the universe and humanity"—why we exist here among countless universes.

【Yasunori Nomura】The Moment Before the Universe Began: What No One Knows|Our Origins Revealed Through 13.8 Billion Years of History and "Inflation"

The common belief that "the universe is eternal and unchanging" crumbled 100 years ago. Theoretical physicist Yasunori Nomura of the University of California, Berkeley, reveals the truth about the "scorching fireball" 0.1 seconds before the universe's birth and the insane rapid expansion, "inflation," that occurred even earlier.We delve deeply into the precise 13.8-billion-year history unraveled by modern physics and its profound connection to the meaning of our human existence.

【Yasunori Nomura】What is the True Nature of Quantum Mechanics? The Simulation Hypothesis of This World Revealed by "Superposition" and "Jump-Jump"

Professor Yasunori Nomura of the University of California, Berkeley, reveals "The True Nature of Quantum Mechanics." He thoroughly explores the true form of the universe we inhabit—from the counterintuitive facts revealed 100 years ago that the world is "both wave and particle" and "jumpy and superimposed"—to the possibilities of consciousness and parallel worlds.

Was the Universe Alive? The Latest Theory "ITP" Reveals the True Reason You Exist in This World

At the forefront of physics and astronomy, the universe is increasingly described not merely as an inorganic void, but as a living entity that "remembers past experiences and evolves through self-learning, much like AI." This article delves into the overwhelming scale of our very reason for existence, using the latest theory "ITP (Principle of Infinite Transformation)," published in 2026, as its lens.
