Yokoyama Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores the beginning of the universe through theories of particle physics and general relativity.
AboutAbout the lab
Decoding the beginning of the universe through theory.
The Yokoyama Lab carries out theoretical research in cosmology, focusing on the early universe, the period right after the universe began.
It mainly deals with particle-physics and relativistic cosmology, and with how the structure of the universe has evolved.
The lab draws on both fundamental theories such as quantum field theory and general relativity, and observational data such as the cosmic microwave background.
It also conducts fundamental research in related areas, such as gravitational theory and non-equilibrium quantum field theory, as needed.
Key terms
- Cosmic microwave background
- Microwave radiation released about 380,000 years after the universe was born, which still reaches us today from all directions in space
- General relativity
- Einstein's theory that explains gravity as the curvature of space and time
- Quantum field theory
- A theory of quantum mechanics that treats elementary particles as fluctuations of "fields" spread throughout space
