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.

"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 Do Humans Continue to Exist in the Universe? The Mysteries of Modern Physics: The Cutting Edge of Particle Research

At the forefront of modern physics, our existence is described as a "miracle" or an "error that should never have occurred." Drawing from an interview with Shion Kubota of Harvard University, we explore the shocking truths about the universe suggested by neutrino research and the meaning of our existence as "imperfect beings" from a philosophical perspective.
