The Science of The Man from the 9 Dimensions
One of the missions of physics is to discover Fundamental Laws of Nature and use them to solve some of its
Four centuries ago, Galileo pointed his telescope at a night sky and opened a new window to the universe
We have made remarkable success in deciphering the Universe over the last 400 years,
I have written 6 popular science books in Japanese to communicate some of recent excitements in this area.

The Universe was born 13.8 billion years ago.
1915: Einstein completed his theory of gravity. He applied it to the whole universe,
3 minutes after the birth:

How does the Universe Work?
Let us go back to the Big Bang.
Until 0.0001 seconds after the birth:
Until 0.00000000001 seconds after the birth:
How was the Universe like before 0.00000000001 seconds of its birth?
Cosmic Inflation
In the first 0.0000000000000000000000000000000 00001 seconds:
LIGO's detection of gravitational waves opened a new window to the Universe.
The only consistent way we know how to do this is Superstring Theory
If the extra 6 dimension is a small compact Calabi-Yau manifold,
We want to derive quantitative predictions on physics in 3+1 dimensions from the geometry of
What can we do? - We do not even know how to measuredistance between
Power of Mathematics
The Man from the 9 Dimensions is a metaphor of Theory of Everything,
