Watch a lecture from the Kyoto University International Symposium commemorating the 70th anniversary of Hideki Yukawa's Nobel Prize, delivered by Sinya Aoki, Director of the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics. Explore the development of Yukawa's meson theory and its lasting impact on modern physics through detailed discussions of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and nuclear forces. Learn how Yukawa's groundbreaking work on mesons laid the foundation for our current understanding of strong interactions in particle physics, with the presentation progressing from historical context through to contemporary applications in nuclear physics research. The lecture, presented in Japanese at Kyoto University's Centennial Clock Tower Memorial Hall, provides both historical perspective and cutting-edge insights into theoretical physics.
