New Book Review

The fourth chapter, "Principles of Physics," provides an easy-to-understand explanation of the principles that underpin physics, such as symmetry and similarity, and the final chapter, "Theory of Nature and Human Thought," discusses the way scientists think. For example, one aesthetic sensibility shared by physicists is that "if something does not have universal meaning under as few hypotheses as possible, it cannot be accepted as true" (page 225). This idea is famously known as "Occam's razor," and this is a well-read chapter that vividly displays the author's aesthetic sensibility as a scientist.

Finally, he states that "problems related to complex remove background image systems, such as earthquakes and global warming, have not been fully explored, in part because science has put them on the back burner" (p. 243). In other words, human-made science is good at detailed analysis, but not at integrating the big picture.

This book will teach you the principles and laws of physics, as well as the direction science should take in the future. The author is a scientist who has been actively engaged in awareness-raising and educational activities for many years, and I look up to him. This is a must-read science book for anyone wanting to fundamentally understand the uncertain world that is post-3/11.

There is currently a lot of discussion about how to raise funds for the reconstruction after the Great East Japan Earthquake. However, the most likely solution is to issue a large amount of government bonds, which would lead to the yen losing credibility and plummeting. This would further drain domestic companies' strength in the purchase of already soaring crude oil and LNG prices. When discussing reconstruction funding, it seems necessary to keep in mind the original title of this book, "When Currency Dies."
