2013.11.21 KIP Forum "Mysterious particles that fill the universe: Higgs"

For our Forum in November, we had Professor Murayama, a particle physicist, to talk about atoms, elementary particles, dark matters and higgs, newly observed particles. Our theme for this forum was "where did we come from?", and Professor Murayama gave us the answers by referring to the up-to-date origin of the world.

Especially for science students who will probably become the bridges between science and the society, the lecture was very suggestive. Professor Murayama made his lecture very clear and easy to follow by using a variety of jokes and metaphors, otherwise the forum would have been just as difficult and abstruse as the topic actually is. He did not just tell us the facts by listing technical terms, nor he missed the true nature of the topic, but he showed us the importance of understanding the audience and knowing the priorities. After the lecture, we discussed about "by who and how should the budget of science be determined?" And through our discussion, we learned the significance of the ways in which the people taking part in the scientific field transmit their research to the society. (Akira Endo)
