University of Tokyo Beyond AI Research Promotion Organization Science Cafe (7th) The theme this time is "Why did the universe become what it is today?" This philosophical theme is now being considered with the power of science. "How did the universe begin? How has it been shaped? What is it made of?" Professor Hitoshi Murayama (Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe, University of Tokyo/University of California, Berkeley) will give a science talk based on cutting-edge observations and theories, while unraveling the beginning of the universe, the "Big Bang," and "inflation," as well as the "dark matter" and "dark energy" that make up most of the universe! *The entire program is composed of eight parts, and this special edition is a compact edit of Parts 1 to 8.

About the Beyond AI Research Promotion Organization The Beyond AI Research Promotion Organization was established in 2019 as a research hub that brings together the world's highest level of people and knowledge with the aim of promoting the Beyond AI collaboration project between the University of Tokyo and SoftBank. The collaborative project aims to create an ecosystem aimed at social implementation and commercialization of research results from the Beyond AI Research Promotion Organization. The Beyond AI Research Promotion Organization promotes research in two areas: "basic research (medium- to long-term research)," which aims to create new academic fields by integrating AI fundamental technology research with other academic fields, and "applied research (high-cycle research)," which aims to utilize AI for various social and industrial issues. By quickly implementing and commercializing the research results produced in these two areas, we will contribute to the further development of AI research in Japan and the realization of a better society. ▼Related linksBeyond AI Research Promotion Organization website https://beyondai.jp/ ▼Chapters00:00 OP01:15 Murayama Group's research theme: The beginning of the universe15:40 Profile of Professor Murayama23:55 What is the Big Bang32:18 The connection between inflation and the Big Bang34:38 ​​The connection between the universe and elementary particles41:13 What is dark matter47:11 What is dark energy53:58 The relationship between space research and AI57:42 ED
