Utada: What are you most targeted on pursuing in the meanwhile?
Kojima: There’s a concept in particle physics known as the Customary Mannequin, however it could possibly solely clarify about 5 p.c of the mass and vitality within the universe. Actually, it’s thought that about 26 p.c of the mass and vitality within the universe is darkish matter, and the remaining 70 p.c is darkish vitality. No matter darkish vitality, we all know that darkish matter exists, however we do not know what it’s, and we’re at present looking out to grasp its true nature.
Utada: Darkish vitality is …
Kojima: We all know virtually nothing about it.
Tanaka: You could possibly say it’s a reputation that was virtually given at random.
Utada: OK, so “darkish” right here doesn’t imply “not lit,” however relatively “unknowable” or “unknown.”
Tanaka: We don’t know something about darkish vitality. It has that title as a result of the universe is increasing. However darkish matter will be defined by gravity, so we imagine it exists. However it’s laborious to search out it. We’re attempting to measure one thing once we do not know what it’s, so we spend a substantial 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 folks is packed though there are solely 9 folks there. Or there have been 10 folks within the room, however traces of 11 folks coming from it.
Tanaka Sure, sure, that’s the concept!
It’s a matter of creating 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 they usually remodel 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.
