Lisa Randall, an active researcher, explains her hypothesis in a way that is easy for the general public to understand in her book "Warped Passages." The book explains the "Warped Passages," which are derived from string theory and describe why gravity is super weak, while delving deeply into the knowledge of General relativity and quantum mechanics.

Quantum theory, born in the 20th century, was created from the heated discussions of brilliant scientists who colored the era. Einstein is known for his lifelong opposition to quantum theory, but his criticism also gave birth to new insights. Learn about the history of the birth of quantum theory from "Quantum".

From ancient times to the present, the "universe" has been perceived in various ways. And with each new discovery, the “universe” has revealed itself as a mysterious entity that defies common sense. Based on Simon Singh's book “Big Bang,” learn about the transition of the outlook on the universe leading up to the "Big Bang model."

"Fermat's Last Theorem" is a conjecture left by a mathematician more than 350 years ago. Until it was proved by Wiles in 1995, there were countless dramas surrounding it. From Simon Singh's works and the "Math Girls" series, we can learn about the human drama and mathematical aspects of the theorem.

"IUT (Inter-Universal Teichmüller Theory)," which underwent an 8-year review process and was published in a journal, became a hot topic for proving the most important unresolved math problem, the "abc conjecture." Based on "宇宙と宇宙をつなぐ数学(mathematics that connects 宇宙と宇宙) " and " abc予想入門(abc conjecture primer)," it teaches about "IUT" and the "abc conjecture."

Learn about the "Poincaré conjecture," a mathematical conundrum with a 1 million dollars prize. The genius mathematician Perelman solved it but refused both the prize and the Fields Medal. Find out the details of the conundrum and its proof in Yuki Hiroshi's "Math Girls."

"Perfect Rigor" is a biography that depicts the life of the genius mathematician Perelman who solved the extremely difficult problem in mathematics, the Poincaré conjecture, and declined a million-dollar prize and a Nobel Prize-level honor. The book focuses on his personal life and the struggles of "the gifted" individual who was born and raised in the Soviet Union, with almost no mathematical descriptions.

The question "What is life?" may seem too basic, but it's actually quite difficult. 20th-century biology considered "self-replication of DNA" to be the essence of life, but the discovery of "viruses" forced a reconsideration. We can learn about the essence of life from two works by Shinichi Fukuoka: "生物と無生物のあいだ(Between Animate and Inanimate)" and "動的平衡(Dynamic Equilibrium)."

From Simon Singh's works and the "Math Girls" series, we can learn about the human drama and mathematical aspects of the theorem.

The theme of the fifth installment of the "Math Girls" series depicts people who are through mathematics, with a focus on high school students, and it's about "Galois theory." The book traces the thoughts left behind by a genius who single-handedly pioneered the new field of "group theory," but was too pioneering to be understood by the mathematicians of his time, and later died in a duel.

"Prime numbers" have fascinated mathematicians from all over the world for centuries. It was very difficult to find their patterns, but for the first time, it was showed as the "Riemann Hypothesis". From books like "The Music of the Primes" and "The Riemann Hypothesis: The Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics," we can gain a basic understanding of the "Riemann Hypothesis" that genius mathematicians have taken on.
