  2. Wonders of the Universe in the Prephysics Era Motions of the Sun and planets were the most mysterious and important phenomena in the Universe!! Description became more and more complicated !!! Klaudios Ptolemaios • 『アルマゲスト』(最大の書) Megale Syntaxis tes Astronomias』(天文学大全)

  3. Newtonian Physics The Ultimate Theory in the 17th Cenctury Idealisation& Deep insight Ground-based Experiments Galileo Galilei The Law of Innertia Newtonian Mechanics & Law of Gravity Cosmic Observations Johannes Kepler Three Laws for Planetary Motion Precise Cosmology Predicted the Recurrence of the Halley Comet in 1757 ( 76 yr later)

  5. “The Great Book” in the 20th century ???

  6. Standard Model and Beyond- ground-based physics - • SM is established for physics below 100GeV, but … • Incomplete gauge unification • Mysterious hypercharge structure • Strong CP problem • Mysterious generation repetition • Mysterious mass spectrum • The origin of neutrino masses and the CKM matrix • No dark matter candidate • No quantum theory of gravity

  7. GUT and String Theory- Idealisation and Deep Insight - • GUT + PQ-symmetry+SUSY may resolve many of the mysteries, but … • does not explain the generation repetition, • does not explain the origin of G and representations, • does not provide a quantum theory of gravity. • Superstring theory/M-theory may resolve all the problems and might be the ultimate theory of nature, but … • is still incomplete. • is higher dimensional, and its relation to our 4D universe is yet to be clarified. • Characteristic energy scales of these theories are E & 1013 TeV . Unreachable Energy Frontier for Ground-based Experiments!!
