Challenging the common theory of physics through reverse thinking | Emiko HIYAMA | TEDxKobe


Translation: Kyoko Kamura Proofreading: Hiroko Kawano

Hello everyone

My name is Mt. Hayama, a physicist who should be difficult.

Stop talking tough today that is physics

I think that I want to tell stories easy to understand for everyone

Do not you guys like this

From the unexpected idea far away from common sense in the world

It is various interesting so-called breakthrough

I think that innovation is sometimes created

Or from the opposite idea, the reverse approach creates various breakthroughs –

I think there are times when innovation is born

For example this is mass production of cars

100 years ago –

A lot of people moved to this car one by one

I’ve been doing assembly of automobile parts

But that is very inefficient

Then the next opposite idea is born

It moves the car in reverse

This is the start of a belt conveyor

By doing so, this time the car moves without moving people

People stick to it and make parts –

That’s why mass production of cars was born

In this way the opposite idea plays a very big role in the real world

Actually, this opposite idea is the same in our world of science

We create various breakthroughs

While introducing this story to my actual research

I think I want to talk to you

This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics

It is to verify the gravitational wave from the collision of the black hole

Actually Einstein had predicted 100 years ago

Now that 100 years have passed since I saw this verification in this world

It is very pleasing as a scientist

After this, in fact it is a matter of neutron star

The gravity wave coming out there was verified

Actually, this neutron star itself has a big mystery

We scientists are now very interested in this neutron star

So, I would like to talk about what neutron stars are

The universe here is

Born by the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago

One billion years later stars are born

The life of the star is that when I was born I made the sun ‘s fruit 8 times as a boundary –

The fate changes on the limit

That small star of the universe –

A star smaller than what is called the sun 8 times

Then it turns into a white dwarf and quietly burns up

A star bigger than 8 times the mass of the sun then has a supernova explosion

The interior of the star becomes black hole or neutron star

We are very interested in this neutron star in this

If you say how big this neutron star is

It’s about 20 kilometers in diameter

That is the center of Konan campus here

It is about the size to reach the station of Sannomiya

Although it is such a small star

Actually, this maximum mass is very large

Actually it is 1.5 times as much as the sun

Actually this is written in the universe textbook properly

We also regard scientists as common sense

However, terrible things happened in 2010

What a pain replacing textbook happened

It was actually realized that twice the mass of the sun was the greatest mass

This scientist greeted me with the greatest surprise

From everyone’s point of view it has doubled from 1.5

Although it may seem like I do not think it is anything

We theorist actually say 1.5 times the sun which is thought to be this common sense

Actually, I tried to explain in theory and made various efforts

But using a bad idea

It is easily 1.1 times the mass of the sun and 1.2 times

It hardly reaches up to 1.5 times –

Where we were accumulating that kind of effort

It has brought a value twice as far as 2010

We were pretty shocked

I still remember but I could not sleep at night

How can we solve twice the mass of this sun?

It is a very hot concern as a very important concern

So what is called a neutron star which is twice the mass of this sun

I say what you are made of and read like a letter

A lot of neutrons and a little proton and called hyperon –

It is said that it is made of particles that do not exist on the earth

To do this research

Actually, as input

The force between this proton and neutron

And the force between Hyperon and Yoko

Or the force between this red and white is important as input

However until now

Actually, I knew the power between this white and blue [about]

But the power between red and blue or red and white is

Actually I did not understand well until now

But in order to solve twice the maximum mass of neutron star

By all means this power is important

As a clue to a solution – one thing is possible

One thing is to artificially make this neutron star on the earth

But please think about everyone

You make stars that are twice as big as the mass of the sun on this small earth

Do not you think it is dangerous?

If you make a mistake a bit, it may become a black hole

Scientists should not do such a thing

Then, there is another idea in the opposite direction again here

Let’s look at the neutron star itself in detail finely and finely

Then the first smallest unit I watched in detail is

This proton, neutron and hyperron are made up of three particles

These three particles or these four particles

Consider making artificially

Call this atomic nucleus made of hyperon, proton and neutron “hyper nucleus”

This hypernuclear is made artificially in this accelerator facility

Hyper nucleus made at this accelerator facility –

It is theoretically to solve this structure

Among them, Hyperon, proton and neutron are made of these three particles

We call this a “three body problem”

Also, what is made of four particles is said to be “four body problem”

It will do theory to unravel this three body, four body problem by theory

You can count them like three bodies, four bodies

However, it is extremely difficult to theoretically solve three- or four-body problems

Let’s take a look at the next human society and talk about why it is difficult

For example, if you think about getting to decide something with friends who are good friends

I think that it is relatively easy to decide things because it is knowledgeable

But there is one popular difficult person – a person who does not like it for a while

For example I think that it will come

This is a three body problem

That means that things that were easier to decide earlier become complicated more quickly

I think that everyone has experience

Suppose another person who is hard to please comes in here

This is a 4 body problem

It gets even harder

Earlier it was easy to decide if it was a two-body problem

The problem of becoming a four-body problem is to get ridiculous

I think that experience may exist

Actually this is the same in the micro world

It becomes complicated and strange when it comes to a very many-body problem

There may be people who start to sleep as soon as they are represented by mathematical expressions

I will reveal such a formula

Among them, this “V” is the word “power” I mentioned earlier in the input

Then, unraveling this formula and saying “E and ψ (ぷ っ)”

This is to unlock with the output

This can actually be compared with experiments

To unravel these expressions exactly and to give out E and ψ

Actually, it is one of the objectives of my research

When solving these problems

So far as this power is definitely given out

Solve the expression earlier and put out the output

And it has been possible to compare with experiments

Actually, however, if we could not do the fundamental power of this power

What should I do? I can not put out an output

It actually came into conflict with this kind of problem

So I thought about it in the opposite way

In other words what do you mean?

I will solve my problem formula exactly

So it is a power that I do not know well

Anyway use it to solve firmly

We will compare and examine it with the output as an output

In fact, you can actually give a correction to the force in the opposite direction

The power that we did, the reliable power this time to the study of neutron stars

It is because I thought of giving it as input

By doing this kind of project

The mystery that we said twice the mass of the sun of neutron star –

We feel that it is not long ago to unlock this

It was the last time to talk about today

This is an opposite idea in the opposite direction

By thinking about this opposite approach in science society

I am experiencing that clues to various solutions spread quickly

Actually this is not just the world of science

I think that it is also important in the real world

For example, if you try to do a new project launch

Be sure to hit any problems – hitting a wall

I think that I have experience.

By overcoming the wall or breaking through the fronts or by going straight ahead

I think it is common to solve by chance or something like that

But I think there is something that does not go well

Look at that kind of view from a different perspective –

Think in the opposite idea

Things that were difficult until then

I think that it is common to solve in a blink of an eye

Everyone is going to be a new issue from now on

I think that it seems to be challenging more and more

Please remember when you hit the wall

This is an opposite idea in the opposite direction

Thank you very much

(applause)
