Utada: What are you most targeted on pursuing in the intervening time?
Kojima: There’s a principle in particle physics referred to as the Commonplace Mannequin, however it may possibly solely clarify about 5 % of the mass and power within the universe. In truth, it’s thought that about 26 % of the mass and power within the universe is darkish matter, and the remaining 70 % is darkish power. No matter darkish power, we all know that darkish matter exists, however we do not know what it’s, and we’re presently looking out to know its true nature.
Utada: Darkish power is …
Kojima: We all know nearly nothing about it.
Tanaka: You might say it’s a reputation that was nearly given at random.
Utada: OK, so “darkish” right here doesn’t imply “not lit,” however somewhat “unknowable” or “unknown.”
Tanaka: We don’t know something about darkish power. It has that title as a result of the universe is increasing. However darkish matter might be defined by gravity, so we consider it exists. However it’s laborious to seek out it. We’re attempting to measure one thing after we do not know what it’s, so we spend an excessive amount of time conducting experiments.
Utada: It’s like proving the existence of one thing by the absence of one thing else.
Kojima: Sure, that’s proper.
Utada: It’s like attempting to show the existence of an invisible man. A room with capability for 10 individuals is packed although there are solely 9 individuals there. Or there have been 10 individuals within the room, however traces of 11 individuals coming from it.
Tanaka Sure, sure, that’s the concept!
It’s a matter of constructing an analogy to one thing else or changing one relationship with one other. Utada says they connect a particular significance to this act. Which means that they repeatedly rework what exists solely in their very own thoughts into intelligent metaphors by making full use of the data and expertise they’ve cultivated over time, and the phrases and symbols derived from their instinct. They then diligently perform the duty of speaking these to others.
