Inagi IC College 20th Anniversary Business Planning Course “Mysteries of the Universe” & October Professor Course Introduction Event (July 30, 2020)
Update date: January 10, 2024
Part 1 20th Anniversary Commemorative Project Lecture "Wonders of the Universe"
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of our founding, we will invite Mr. Yoji Ozaki, an astronomer and professor emeritus at the University of Tokyo, to give a lecture on "The Wonders of the Universe."
The ultimate goal of space science research is
(1) What is the universe we live in? (2) Where do we come from and where are we going?
It is to clarify two major themes. The progress of science over the past 100 years has made an amazing progress in understanding the "evolution of the universe" from the birth of the universe to the present day. What was revealed there can be called a magnificent epic. In this lecture, I would like to talk about the "shape of the universe" revealed by modern science, and how we are deeply connected to the universe.
Part 2: October Professor Lecture Introduction Event
The 33rd session of the "Professor Course" will start in October, where anyone can practice "learning is fun" in the community. At this event, the teachers who will be on stage will come and promote the course face-to-face. (For teachers who are absent, we will show a video that summarizes the contents of the lecture in about 5 minutes.) It will be an opportunity to take a new field, so please come to the venue.
