My UCCR theory may give some penetrating insights into the prospects for future events accompanied by uncertainties. According to the UCCR theory, future events aren't predetermined exactly. The current events have just been determined, and the past events have already been determined definitely. It's rather easy to be aware of what's going on right now if it's perceivable by the senses. If a past event was recorded correctly and its record is reproducible, what occurred in the past may be easily identified. If not, it's a solid fact that the past events disappeared without leaving any trace in most cases and can't be reproducible. Therefore, there is no way to know accurately that the unrecorded past events are certain.

The UCCR theory isn't in conflict with the principle of causality totally but makes it in our macroscopic world obscure to some extent. As far as the cause and effect relationship exists as an undeniable principle, it may be possible to guess a past event in some cases by tracing back to the past following some delicate hints based on the relationship. Without having any trustworthy record or fortuitous leftovers, however, a past event can't be proven. The UCCR theory may offer the additional reason why past events can't be accurately conjectured by retrogressing according to the causality relationship.

Although the past events can't be accurately conjectured in my theory, some hints to reveal both who the aforementioned wiretappers are and who asked them to wiretap me for a long period of time may be found. There are some particular patterns in their ways of trumping up charges on the slightest pretext. Obviously, there should exist some benefits obtained by doing it, as written previously. They have a strange tendency in a roundaround manner to inform me of the fact that they are wiretapping my conversations, emails, web accesses, TV viewing, and purchases. It seems that they have a definite tendency to follow a unique psychological creed supportive of excess surveillance, like the way of the security service Stasi.

Firstly, they create opportunities to hear what I speak, to see what I write, and to impose their opinions convenient for them on me with the usual measures bordering on fraud, while justifying themselves in doing those, for instance by circulating some groundless outrageous rumors about me in advance, not only in Japan but also surprisingly in the US. One of them may claim that he or she was deeply hurt either by my thoughtless word or by my behavior, without telling either that they heard it through wiretapping a telephone line or listening in to my communications at home, or that they saw it with surreptitious recordings at the rooms where my privacy should be protected. They don't say that they engineered some troubles as a strategy beforehand, either. They also hinder me in various ways while pretending to be worried sick about either my close relatives or me. Most unfortunately, some of my relatives and acquaintances can't turn down the requests for their assistance. In order to gain some profits directly or indirectly, they keep saying that they have enlightened me a good deal previously, so that I can do it and then many others also can do. They have a disproportionate emphasis on the brand name colleges or the academic degrees such as PhD & MBA, rather than the record performances at a university and the achievements at a company. For the benefit of some particular industries, public enterprises, and theirs, they place perfunctory reliance on anything useful such as the political beliefs of socialism, communism, and totalitarianism, the necessities of sports festivals and education, the religious beliefs, the philosophical teachings, etc., depending upon the situation.

It seems to me that the hints above clearly indicate who they are. However, the finding from these hints is only a guess, according to the UCCR theory.

Got up at seven forty-five in the morning. Ate a piece of bread for breakfast, a Japanese meal for lunch, and a Japanese meal for dinner. It's a cold, sunny day. Today's minimum temperature is –0.8 degrees C (30.6 degrees F) and the maximum temperature is 4.6 degrees C (40.3 degrees F) in the Okaya-Suwa district of Nagano prefecture. As the temperature declines, my brain becomes less active.

On Black Friday this year, a man crazily fired more than 100 bullets on the walls of the Mexican Consulate in Austin, the capital of Texas. According to news sources, it became known recently that about 100 brains, including the brain of the clock tower sniper, in the formaldehyde jars went missing from the Austin campus of the University of Texas.

Strangely enough, there has been NHK TV coverage of the sports events at the facilities that were recently built in Austin Texas. It's unreasonably frequent, considering a city the size of Austin, which is the fourth largest city in Texas. The circuit racecourses, one of which Formula One racing can be held annually, were also constructed there years ago. Because it sounds unnatural, my wife and I have avoided watching these TV sports programs, so far.

Got up at seven-thirty in the morning. Ate a piece of bread for breakfast, a Japanese meal for lunch, and a Japanese meal for dinner. It snowed last night. Although the World Metrological Organization forecasted that the average worldwide temperature this year would be the hottest ever recorded, it's surely cold in the Okaya-Suwa district of Nagano prefecture, which is situated about 1000 meters above sea level, in December. Japan's degree of dependence on coal-fired power generation is currently about 30 %, approximately compensating for the suspensions of its nuclear power plants.

According to the news source, 100 missing brains were found at the University of Texas at San Antonio, which is the third largest city in Texas. It sounds as if some American journalists supporting either politicians or capitalists may be playing a word game. If so, a word of 100 brains, which they said were either previously or recently moved from Austin to San Antonio for some reason, may be a metaphor for their hope for a possible shift of the flow of future investments from the casino industry, the space industry, the semiconductor industry or the energy industry to the health care industry in Texas. It's usually true that there are many struggles for a bigger share of a budget in many places, but this time I may merely read too much into what a journalist reported.

An election is a process by which people vote to choose a person or a group for an official position, or a policy in a democratic society. It goes without saying that it's rare for every voter to find a candidate or a political party, all the campaign pledges, or all the party platforms that are agreeable to his or her opinions perfectly. A voter usually casts a ballot for a candidate whose public commitments best fit his or her wishes or that who makes a favorable impression on his or her mind. Some voters would like to choose a candidate who has something in common with them, and other voters would like to choose a candidate who is totally different from them.

Some of the people who have a political orientation to totalitarianism may blindly claim that a voter who casts a ballot for a candidate has to dismiss the opinions of his or hers that are contradictory to those of a candidate, or conversely, some of those who have a penchant for individualism may sarcastically claim the same as above. That's nonsense. It's simply obvious that a voter doesn't need to give up any of his or her opinions, as long as he or she observes the law. A voter only casts a ballot for either a candidate or a political party that looks better than others. I didn't say anything out of the ordinary today. I wrote this common view because I sometimes think that the aforementioned wiretappers might be possibly picking a quarrel over trivial matters about politics found in my everyday conversation and diary.

Pressures from outside the country and ideological madness of being ready to die to defend their honor were the mainsprings of a civil war in Japan during the closing days of the Tokugawa regime. However, that ideological madness had to be calmed down considerably after Japan went into the international arena and began bearing comparisons with the world powers to some extent early in the twentieth century. This is because it's only a vulnerable point that some stronger countries of the analysis took advantage of. The then Government of Japan made a definite mistake seventy-three years ago today, resulting in an inevitable defeat of the Pacific War that had lasted for about four years while inflicting heavy innocent casualties from both sides.

When trouble is stirred up, each individual should have the right to choose the path to give his or her forgiveness, the path to take his or her retaliation, or another path. These selectable paths are what religious beliefs and moral education have led people to. As long as each individual carries out an intention in conformity to the law, for instance in a law court, on a sports ground, or in the business world, he or she can choose either path rather safely, at least on the surface.

Many of the complicated issues that have been festering between the two countries for a long period of time have defied solutions intrinsically. The above-mentioned logic can't be simply applied to the long-lasting issues between the countries in most cases because the authority and the neutrality of international arbitration aren't good enough and many people and factors have been involved in the issues for a long time. It amounts to this, that the world's police force and the world's administration of justice on neutral ground are necessary. Any ruling political party in the counties shouldn't appeal its religious orientation eminently, because it makes the issues between the counties more unsolvable. Without engaging in warfare if possible, each country may maintain its necessary defense forces. The remark that these international problems will solve themselves in the course of time is right only if each country stops causing new problems. Indeed, a variety of new problems have arisen ceaselessly.

My daily exercises for about 15 minutes consist of a set of 100 sit-ups, a set of 50 push-ups, a set of isometrics, and a set of stretching for the purpose of maintaining good health, and my daily practices for about 20 minutes consist of reading aloud a presentation file about my previous works for the purpose of maintaining my knowledge of the semiconductor devices and also improving my English pronunciation skills.

When the performances and accomplishments of either an individual or a small group are measured, there's no denying that the Japanese still have been eclipsed by Europeans and Americans on the whole, though the differences have been becoming smaller gradually. There are many causes of it. Some of these causes can be attributed to the primitive customs remaining in the stagnating Asian societies, which are only hindrances to success for individuals.

When the performances and accomplishments of a group of thousands or larger with each other are compared, however, the Japanese have shown their abilities to be competitive with Europeans and Americans in many areas because of their distinctive tendency that has been cultivated in Japan since the medieval period. In order to outgrow their old self, Japan needs to improve drastically the abilities of some individuals or small groups in overseeing matters from an appropriately broad viewpoint and in directing the future courses more cleverly and constructively on their own efforts.

For general uses in consumer electronics, Hewlett-Packard announced its future SoC technology utilizing the integrated optical fibers connecting the system core and the memory banks on a chip this June. The US Navy disclosed a video of the testing of its new Laser Weapon System installed on the USS Ponce to the press recently. It's a short-range defense system. Because it's difficult to downsize its electric power system to a portable size, the LaWS can be installed only on a fort, a large ship, a large vehicle, etc. for military uses. In the world of entertainment, Episode 7 of Star Wars, which tells an SF story that laser lights zing this way and that, is scheduled for release next December. Times are changing certainly.

The imports and ways of what senior politicians and businesspeople say and those that senior average journalists write in Japan are typical of Japanese in general. To put it simply, these aren't insufficient in meaning and aren't straightforward in manner on purpose. It's rather difficult to get the main points of what they would like to talk about or to see whether they really understand what they are talking about. Although there may have been some little changes in younger generations, whether the changes are in the improving direction or in the deteriorating direction is unknown. Sometimes keeping silent about some matters may be desirable, but the ways of explanation should be kept clear and accurate. It seems to me that these conventional ways blunt their insights.

Tuesday, December 16, 2014

Got up at seven-thirty in the morning. Ate a piece of bread for breakfast, a Japanese meal for lunch, and a Japanese meal for dinner. By this morning, the slight fever had already receded. There was a rather heavy snowfall today.

The logical and clear ways of thinking and explanation were most actively introduced to the areas of science and technology in Japan because these ways are essential. The Asian-style impositions of matters that are based on their own self-interests should be contested absolutely and, of course, be denied in science. In Japan, logical and clear ways of explanation may have been taught at college or higher education in general. Like some advanced countries in Europe and North America, logical and clear ways of thinking and explaining should also be introduced to other areas such as business and politics more energetically in Japan. When Japan took the role of manufacturing for countries of the world upon itself in the post-war era, its favorite high-productivity underpinned by its ethos came out near the front in the world economy successfully. Since a shadow began falling on the demands for its manufacturing because of the rise of its neighboring countries, Japan needed to guide itself to be successful in the areas of international business and politics, where Japan wasn't competitive with some advanced countries in Europe and North America in essence, probably in the 1980s or earlier. It can be said that falling behind in the improvement in logical and clear ways in these areas is a major cause of its lingering sluggish economy. Chinese elites may have already caught up with Japanese counterparts in the areas of international business and politics and may be overtaking it in these areas right now, though on average Chinese still haven't caught up with the Japanese in many areas to date. For the last three decades, American elites may have sarcastically regarded Japanese counterparts as people with an excellent high-school education, whether they have realized it or not. Nowadays, American elites may consider that Chinese counterparts are the people with a college education with some refractory friends. Some Californians and Texans may say that Chinese are harmless to them, and some New Englanders may be watching out for China's traditional strategy that relies on its new friends.

The complete suppression of the ideological madness while maintaining the rationally passionate emotion seems to be what Japan needed to pursue in the post-war era. As a matter of course, the winners compelled Japan to suppress it completely. There is no doubt that the suppression has progressed significantly with the times, though people should have different opinions as to whether it's sufficient or not. Indeed, with either amiable intentions or malicious intentions, one of the winners wanted Japan to keep the ideological madness while promoting individualism. Undesirably, the necessary passion may have been declining gradually but surely since the end of the rapid growth of its economy.

The logical and clear ways of thinking and explanation should have been brought in the areas of business and politics more actively since the 1980s or earlier. As written several times in my diary, Japanese scientists and engineers had to start cultivating their own abilities in the creative and liberal ways of thinking more effectively at graduate schools or workplaces in the same period of time as above. After it became one of the developed countries in that period, Japan was required to possess these abilities suitable for a member of the G7 and to bring something the other developed countries were unable to notice there.

My opinion on the future domestic transportation utilizing both electric vehicles and hydrogen-fueled vehicles was briefly described in my diary on July 4 this year. The above opinion of mine is more careful than what the Japanese Auto industry has been proposing. Without the necessary data, however, I can't judge whether my opinion is too cautious or not. The data I would like to see is the magnitude of the damage caused by an accidental explosion of a vehicle, the fuel tank toughened with carbon fiber, or other materials of which is filled up with hydrogen gas, that caused by an accidental explosion of hydrogen fuel lorry that is filled up with an amount of liquid hydrogen, and especially that caused by an accidental explosion of a hydrogen fuel station, the huge underground tank of which is filled up with a large amount of liquid hydrogen. An explosion of a hydrogen fuel station is probably as intense as that of a large space rocket. If it were only comparable to an explosion of a gasoline fuel station for the reason that the tanks were buried underground or other reasons, I could think that my opinion was too cautious. 

Anyway, the era of gasoline-engined vehicles with a hybrid electric option will continue for the next few decades. The era of electric vehicles and/or hydrogen-fueled vehicles will follow it.

There's a lot of awful news in Japan this year. The news about the criminal acts that the foods were intentionally laced with poison, insects, bacteria, etc. hurt my feelings very much. This sort of news reminded me of some past problems in my physical condition in the middle of the 2000s. It naturally follows that the aforementioned wiretappers might be involved in such criminal activities as either perpetrators or agitators. I believe that no one can avoid getting out of a condition if some groups set their minds on harming his or her condition intentionally with these satanic ways.

No little surprise has been occasioned nowadays by the frequent occurrences of criminal cases related to the use and/or the trade of various kinds of illegal or law-evading drugs in Japan. The news about illegal drugs hurt my feelings too. Times have become very corrupt indeed. For some political reason or other, some sort of Asians and their friends in the US tried to impose their primitive values, including tobacco smoking, on me with their fraudulent ways. As written several times, I dislike smoking tobacco and dropping butts. The aforementioned wiretappers might also be involved in those cheating.

According to the UCCR theory, however, the finding from these hints is only a guess. It's to be desired that evil deeds will bring inevitable retributions.

My opinion on a two-party system for Japan will be briefly described again today. As written in my diary, I prefer a two-party system to other multi-party systems because of the avoidance of a dictatorship, the observance of democracy, and so on. It seems to me that it's difficult for Japan to form and maintain a US-like two-party system that consists of a conservative party and a reformist party. I think that Japan needs to form a two-party system that can divide the opinions of its bureaucracy in two roughly. It's hard to believe that half the members of the Japanese bureaucracy have a revolution in thought. Most of them are very conservative. Both parties should persevere in their efforts to raise the next generations of leaders who will be capable of reforming systems and laws in Japan with or without pressures from outside for the purpose of making it more competitive in international politics, especially with some growing neighboring countries. Although a UK-like two-party system seems to be more realistic, there are other problems with incompatibility. A two-party system that is rather different from both the US and UK two-party systems, for instance, a more capitalist party & a more socialist party, a pro-Europe American party & a pro-Asian party, should be most desirable. If administrative and legislative functions are relocated from the current capital to a new district in Japan like Washington DC and Canberra in the future, a two-party system consisting of a centralization party and a decentralization party may be an interesting idea somewhat but it's only a stopgap measure. Obviously, the time isn't right for it.

A three-party system may function well if any coalition can be prohibited. However, the establishment of a three-party system with no coalition will make it more difficult to amend the Constitution of Japan than its present political system does. It seems that for a while the establishment of a two-party system will fit the necessities of Japan after some articles of the Constitution are revised wisely.

When irritant oil from poison ivy touches the skin or a large amount of spores from mold are drawn into the lungs, it may cause some allergic reactions depending upon individual differences and conditions. Irritant oil from poison ivy is a typical nuisance that people often encounter in the gardens and the thickets in Texas the US. In Nagano prefecture Japan, mold is what we should control in order to prevent allergies due to it. A large difference in temperature between the inside and the outside of a house causes the formation of dew during the cold seasons, and as the season gets warmer mold begins growing on some damp parts of the interior walls of the rooms and the bases of the beddings. Sweeping up the wet walls and airing out the futons at regular intervals at the appropriate seasons should help control mold easily. My wife suffered from mild allergic dermatitis due to mold for a few months this spring. Soon after we started controlling mold here, her skin problem disappeared completely.

If administrative and legislative functions really have to be relocated from central Tokyo to a new district in Japan like Washington DC and Canberra in the near future for the purpose of making its administration more neutral, the question of where it should be has been controversial. The place may be a rather small district relatively close to either Tokyo or Kyoto. For instance, the city of Tsukuba seems to be reasonable and affordable in view of the distances from the Imperial Palace and the existing International Airport, the existence of many national research institutions, and so on. The relocation to a district within about an hour away from central Kyoto by car may be more advantageous than the above in terms of the effectiveness of neutralization and decentralization and the existence of historical structures in neighboring areas, but it will require a lot of changes and costs. As far as the precaution against future calamities in a new district that has to be more secure than that in central Tokyo is concerned, there can be little to choose between two candidate districts.

As written a few days ago, the time isn't right for the relocation of the capital in the 2010s. If people were merely unconscious of the impending disaster for central Tokyo in this period of time, there wouldn't have been enough time for it anyhow. When people's concern for the advancement of decentralization is still passionate about half a decade hence or later, the relocation of the capital to a new district in Japan may be worthwhile. If not, there will be no good enough incentive to do so.

On the assumption that the UCCR theory is right, as time passes, everybody on the earth becomes under the influence of the hard and soft fluxes of cosmic rays carrying the uncertainty directly and indirectly. The number of people for whom the low-density high-energy flux of cosmic rays has directly led to the uncertainties increases linearly with the passing of time. A blue-color line with the mark of a circle in the graph on the left side below shows this trend when one out of ten neurons along the trajectory of a strike through the brain is assumed to be disturbed and that consideration takes a second and uses one hundred of the brain cells per person on average. The origin of the transverse axis of time of the graphs can be set at any moment of the present age. As written previously, the people whose last decisions were affected by a casual strike against certain parts of their brains can indirectly alter other peoples' decisions by communicating with them or other means. The total number of people whose last decisions were affected due to the shower of cosmic rays increases in geometrical progression. As a red-triangle line in the left graph indicates, all the people on the earth become under the influence by the UCCR in 24 hours in the case that only one out of ten influenced people transmits the uncertainty to the other uninfluenced person within the following one hour by interacting with him or her in any way. When an influenced person transmits the uncertainty to the other uninfluenced person within an hour (a green-square line) or an influenced person transmits the uncertainty to 10 other uninfluenced people (a yellow-diamond line), these propagations become much faster than the above cases. The right graph shows these four lines when only one out of a hundred neurons along the trajectory is assumed to be disturbed.

Graphs: The number of people influenced by UCCR vs. time when 10% (left) and 1% (right) of the neurons along the trajectory of a strike through the brain are assumed to be disturbed respectively.

On the surface of Mars, the slope of a blue-circle line of the graphs above becomes zero because there is no life living there. There's a faint possibility that some sorts of unknown microorganisms or their fossils might exist on Mars, but no clear evidence of them has been discovered yet. The direct influences by UCCR are nearly uniform at any sea-level zones and reasonably high ground zones on the earth. The influences by UCCR that take the transmissions from people to people through their interactions into consideration depend strongly upon both the population density and the popularization of mass media. On the central island of Manhattan, the influences should be very strong like a green-square line and a yellow-diamond line, and in a rural village, the influences should be milder like a red-triangle line.

A living thing first appeared on the earth 3.5 billion years ago or earlier, and mammals have prospered since the Cenozoic era. The world population of human beings has increased and has recently reached 7 billion. Since the Industrial Revolution, the modernizations of many technology areas including information communication technologies and transportation technologies have progressed significantly. If the origin of the transverse axis of time may be set at any time much earlier than the period of the first appearance of life, it can be said that our world has become very greatly uncertain from the viewpoint of the time origin, according to the UCCR theory. Based on the fact that uncountable heavenly bodies exist and cosmic rays are traveling around the entire universe and on the assumption that there are many and various living things on many other planets, the universe is still full of uncertainties not only on the subatomic level but also on the macroscopic level. The UCCR theory suggests that the activities of living things are bringing uncertainties from the subatomic level to the macroscopic level in their expanding territories.

The Figure above illustrates the conditions that were applied to the calculations in order to make some rough estimates of the number of people influenced by Uncertainty Carried by Cosmic Rays two days ago.

Either a mechanistic view or a deterministic view doesn't sit well with me. The existence of atomic and subatomic particles is accompanied by the uncertainty that may be considered not to appear in our macroscopic view under normal conditions on the earth. I have sometimes entertained the idea that the mechanism that brings the uncertainty from the subatomic level to the macroscopic level under normal conditions on the earth may exist in nature. This is my motive to seek for the mechanism focusing on the uncertainty carried by cosmic rays. My UCCR theory is the hypothesis that explains the mechanism that the activities and the interactions of living things are bringing uncertainties from the subatomic level to the macroscopic level in their expanding territories. It goes without saying that here I don't deny the possibility of the existence of the other mechanisms that have the same influences on our macroscopic surroundings as the UCCR theory has. However, I haven't found it yet.

As written previously, the experimental verification of the credibility of the UCCR theory is knotty because it's difficult to measure not only the proposed uncertainty in our surroundings but also the uncertainty of subatomic particles as the principle of nature. Although I currently don't have any good feasible idea about the actual experiment to prove the UCCR theory, there is no reason to hesitate to make some quantitative analyses, as demonstrated a few days ago. In order to improve the accuracy of the calculation of the increase in the number of people influenced by UCCR with time, some efforts have to be made additionally. The application of the model of a more realistic brain structure than that of a simplified ball-shape structure is one of these efforts. The accurate estimation of the rate of the unset neurons among the other neurons along the trajectory of a strike may be important. This isn't easy to carry out because this requires either a very accurate measurement of the activities of individual neurons in a normally functioning brain while a single high-energy particle of natural cosmic rays is passing through it in a very short time, or a realistic simulation of the impact of a strike on the functions of the human brain consisting of many organic brain cells utilizing reasonable models, which are considered to be difficult. The estimation of the number of neurons that are used for consideration on average is necessary to perform more accurate calculations. Probably, some reliable values should have already been available in some existing publications. The average rate of the number of people with whom an influenced person transmitted the uncertainty among all the people with whom he or she interacted in any way within one hour following an incident may be also necessary. The estimation of this rate may require some insights into other areas such as sociology. For the purpose of an accurate calculation of the increase in the number of people influenced by UCCR with time, these additional efforts may be required. At this point in time, I would like to emphasize that the results in the graphs that I showed three days ago in my diary reveal a marked tendency toward the UCCR theory.

The Rosetta artificial satellite that the European Space Agency launched about 10 years ago has reached orbit around a comet recently, and an unmanned probe that the Rosetta satellite has carried is now attempting to land on the rough surface of a small comet. Because of the weakness of gravity on a comet, its landing isn't easy. According to the news sources, one of its missions is to gather the data that may prove the hypothesis that the comets brought the origins of life to the primitive earth in the early period of our solar system.

Gravitation is the weakest of the four interactions. This is one of the reasons why the quantum field theory that unifies the forces including the gravitational force isn't breaking the new ground that's verified experimentally. This may be one of the reasons why any proposed constituent of cold dark matter hasn't been detected yet.

According to a fundamental principle of most cosmologies, observing things very macroscopically, the universe is homogeneous. All of us know that an enormous number of living things have been living certainly on the earth of the solar system in the Galaxy occupying only a very small part of the universe. Obviously, the above-mentioned principle and fact suggest that living things also exist on no small number of other planets in the universe. Currently, however, nobody on the earth has any scientific proof of the existence of living things on planets other than the earth, except for the fact above. In short, this is because the universe is the greatest possible. What we know is that the civilization on other planets that had been capable of generating strong electromagnetic radiation for some purposes may have never existed within the past light cone, the apex of which is set to the present earth. Otherwise, we may have just failed to notice it coming from a very limited part of space-time. On the assumption that the high civilizations have begun appearing on other planets in the universe "only" in comparatively recent times of the history of the universe, just like our civilization on the earth as seen in the rough figure below of Space vs. Time with expressing space in 1D instead of 3D and without taking an expanding into consideration for the sake of simplicity, it should take an electromagnetic signal or slower mediums from them a very long time to reach the earth because they exist far in the distance outside the light cone at the present time. Nobody knows that human beings may be unable to survive until one of the possible signals may reach the earth in the future. This assumption isn't unreasonable because we don't know the preexistence of any high civilizations before our solar system and the universe is seen to be homogeneous.

The Rosetta project might provide us with some insights into the mysterious origins of life not only on the earth but also on other planets in the universe.

The appearance of a comet was considered to be an evil omen old days. If the hypothesis that a number of comets really brought the origins of life to the primitive earth is experimentally proven someday, some superstitious people may feel more unsettled in determining whether the essence of life is good or not. Probably, many people don't like the weird idea that ancient witches flying on broomsticks gave birth to the origins of life on the earth. Well, that's just a superstition. The novel scientific idea that the origins of life may be discovered in the structure materials of the comets is interesting in terms of some aspects including this ironic coincidence. The universe is full of things that can't be comprehended easily.

According to the news sources, in the second quarter of its current fiscal year, the Japanese economy was caught in a recession due to several causes including the recent increase in its consumption tax rate up to 8%. The growth rate of its GDP during the second quarter fell to minus 1.6%.

A currently developing country may need an appropriate inflationary tendency. On the other side, a developed country doesn't need either inflation or deflation in general. It seems that neither inflation nor deflation is what Japan needs these days. The efforts to reduce the unreasonable prices of daily living necessaries by moderate price competitions utilizing both the optimized liberalization of trades and the improvement in the efficiencies should always be necessary. However, there is no necessity to make any convulsive effort to reduce the prices of value-added products and name-brand products. The continuous development of new value-added products and then the casting of these products onto the markets at reasonably high prices are important. On average, the prices of goods and services in a developed country shouldn't be changed so much. The exchange rates of a developed country's currency to another developed country's currency should be well stabilized.

I believe that the currencies of the developed countries should be unified eventually though the floating exchange rate system governing the relative values of other developing countries' currencies to the unified currency is maintained for a while.

The European Space Agency announced recently that an unmanned probe Philae that landed with rather unsteady steps on the rough surface of a comet several days ago detected either some organic molecules or carbon compounds there before its battery ran out of electricity. If their haste experiment was accurate, the outcome might suggest that the comets brought the organic materials, some of which are the essential elements of life, to the primitive earth in the early period of our solar system. Indeed, however, its outcome doesn't prove that only the comets brought the origins of life to the primitive earth where there was no organic material.

Although Philae may provide evidence that the comets traveling around the sun of our solar system may contain some kinds of organic materials, the origins of the comets haven't been verified yet. A scientific group assumes that the comets that have carried some organic materials and water have their origins in scattered pieces of a planet of the previous solar system where there was life. As written above, however, it isn't necessary that only the comets brought the origins of life to the primitive earth. The origins of life may have preexisted before the comets began falling to the earth. Moreover, this hypothesis is in an impossible dilemma when the origins of the origins of the origins of life are pursued. Taking the estimated ages of the universe and our solar system and the estimated average lifespan of a solar system into account, it's generally believed that there might be none or one previous generation of the solar system before our solar system. It seems to me that there will be no answer when following this course. In this case, a horizontal bar indicating the lifespan of the planet where there was life may be placed on the left side of a bar indicating the age of the present earth in the past light cone of the rough sketch shown in my diary last Thursday if it's intelligent. If not, there is no need to add these bars to the figure.

Another scientific group proposes a different hypothesis suggesting that the water, the organics, and other materials that the comets orbiting around the current sun are holding any time and are scattering as gas and dust when coming near the sun were brought from our earth when some meteorite cores were grazing along the surfaces of its oceans without colliding with its ground at very high speeds in ancient times. Obviously, this hypothesis doesn't support the theory that the comets brought the origins of life to the primitive earth and doesn't unravel any mystery of the origins of life. Differently from the hypothesis above, this hypothesis isn't contradictory to what I wrote in my diary last week at all.

Got up at seven forty-five in the morning. Ate a piece of bread for breakfast, a Japanese meal for lunch, and a Japanese meal for dinner.  Imposed a daily task of push-ups, in addition to sit-ups, isometrics, and stretching.

According to the news sources, an intense glint of light sailed across the sky of Russia again recently. It looked like either a meteoritic bombardment or an artificial-satellite bombardment. I don't think that somebody has already built a rail gun on the surface of the moon or something similar in the orbit around the earth.

Because the universe is seen to be homogeneous and an enormous number of living things including human beings have been living on the earth in the Galaxy occupying only a very small part of the universe, the assumption that living things have existed on planets other than the earth is reasonable. On the other side, because of its expansion, the universe isn't symmetrical about time. The conditions of the universe at a distance of 5 to 10 billion years in the past, which is about half to one of the estimated lifespan of our solar system, should be considerably different from those of the current universe. Therefore, it isn't necessary that there had existed life on a planet of the possible previous solar system. That's why I made the assumption that the high civilizations have begun appearing on other planets in the universe only in comparatively recent times of the history of the universe, just like our civilization. This is more realistic than the view that living things including intelligent beings exist only on the present earth and the other view that they have existed only on both the earth and a planet of the possible solar system older than ours by one generation, though none of three views are significantly contradictory to what have been observed. Currently, it's almost impossible to estimate accurately the possibility that living things including intelligent beings have existed only on the present earth. Actually, its probability should be very small because it isn't logically defensible. Therefore, in view of this additional factor, my UCCR theory suggests that the activities and the interactions of living things are bringing uncertainties from the subatomic level to the macroscopic level in their expanding territories only in comparatively recent times of the history of the universe.

By pure chance, the earth was formed into the orbit superbly positioned in the solar system, so that living things have been sustained on it since their first appearance. It seems that the origins of life preexisted on the primitive earth by coincidence because the origins of our solar system have contained all the necessary ingredients, which had been gradually formed with the evolution of the universe since its beginning. However, I have no idea whether living things were generated from nature on the earth coincidentally or created inevitably.

BTW, from the viewpoint of observing the entire universe, I made the assumption that the high civilizations have begun appearing on other planets in the universe only in comparatively recent times. From our daily viewpoint, however, it may safely be said that some of them might exist a long time ago.

Got up at seven-thirty in the morning. Ate a piece of bread for breakfast, a bowl of Japanese noodle soup for lunch, and a Japanese meal for dinner. There was a record-breaking November snowfall in the Northeastern US for the last few days, due to a severe cold snap projecting from the Arctic zone. Some people may attribute it to the recent changes in the earth's climate. On account of the cold floors of a house in the Okaya-Suwa district of Nagano prefecture Japan, which is situated about 1000 meters above sea level, the chilblains on my toes and heels are already itching.

The establishment of an objective point of view is important for modern people. People need to choose an extent of an objective view and a span of time suitable for the matters relevant to a subject. The most extensive in actuality is the view of the entire universe, though there are some suppositional views greater than that such as the view of the multiple universes, which isn't considered here. On the other side, the smallest actual view is subatomic. The earliest of time may be safely considered to be the beginning of the universe, and the last of time is still an open question.

In our everyday life on the earth, the necessary extent of an objective view isn't so wide, and the necessary span of time isn't so long. Although living things may have existed on planets other than the earth, their influence upon us has been nil, so far. On the assumption that the UCCR theory is right, the establishment of an objective view in detail covering a long span of time in the future direction isn't beneficial because the future events except some immutable events aren't exactly predetermined yet. People sometimes need to look at matters from various different viewpoints within an appropriate view extent and time span.

The applications of the perspectives based on my UCCR theory to some sample cases will be discussed this week. First of all, its application to the field of international politics will be briefly dealt with as an example, as follows. Probably, this is the most complicated of the fields in our world.

It's proper that a necessary extent of an objective view for the field of international politics should be the view of the world including all the countries on the earth. The influence of a country on others should depend on the present strengths of its economic and military powers. The most important should be the actual facts at the present time. A necessary span of time in the past direction for this purpose ranges over the recorded history of the world. As the time in the history comes up to the present, the importance of the matters should rise. In a similar way to the above, as the time comes from the future down to the present, the importance should also increase. This is because the correlations of the present events with the recent events and the near future events should be stronger than those of the present events with the far past events and the far future events, respectively. It's natural that the trustworthiness of the recorded history should become dim with going back to the past. On the assumption that the UCCR theory is right, the forecasts of future events in detail covering a long span of time aren't beneficial because the future events except some immutable events aren't exactly predetermined yet. However, it's commendable that the images of the ideal future surrounding some probable immutable events, which may work as the anchors cast in an ocean of the uncertain future or the lights of the lighthouses seen through the uncertainty fog on the voyage, should be highly cherished. The future plans covering a reasonable span of time should be wisely designed to include some flexible choices while reflecting on what is learned from the past records, what is obtained by making the best use of the analysis of the present facts, and what is preserved and planned for the future ideal images. Within the range defined above, people actively in the field of international politics need to look at the matters relevant to a subject of international politics from different viewpoints in the nations concerned in terms of various factors, such as the policies, the social systems, the factional conflicts, the economic statuses, the trades, the currencies, the resources, the cultures, the religious believes, the education levels, the technologies, the public orders, the military powers, etc. in the order of ascending priorities.

The unceasing activities of modern intelligence organizations employing the pick of officials, the growing influences of the media in various aspects, and the utilization of the powers of the media as some political levers on the surfaces and behind the scenes especially through the Internet and TV have been making the clear foresight of the matters in the field of international politics more difficult. The more active the human's mutual interactions have become, the higher the uncertainties in the world have grown, according to the UCCR theory. The more intellectual the human thought processes become, the higher the number of brain cells in a brain that are used for consideration become, and then the higher the uncertainties grow.

On the other hand, what ordinary citizens can do in their daily lives is to expect future matters by following either their simple and empirical logic or their emotions and interests. Although each of their influences is weak, on the whole, the indirect influences of a huge stack of decisions about various trivial matters that an enormous majority of ordinary citizens have been making any time on the basis of either their superstitions or institutions not only on the complexities but also on the uncertainties of international affairs can't be treated lightly in highly democratized countries these days.

Nobody knows the future events exactly. However, people can estimate the possibilities for future events, whether it's accurate or not. People can strive to improve the accuracy of the possibilities. The applications of advanced technologies in computing are one of the methods to help manage the matters in this field somehow by gathering the necessary information from the increasingly complicated new societies filled with the nebulous flood of various topics as a means of communicating ambiguous expressions and by analyzing it to calculate the possibilities for the future events, so that a way with a high possibility to succeed, which may only be better than nothing, can be identified.

My diary today deals briefly with the ITRS Technology Roadmap in the field of the semiconductor industry, as an example of the application of the perspectives based on my UCCR theory.

The semiconductor industry is unique to the private sector in terms of some aspects, i.e. growing high costs in plant and equipment investments for both R & D and manufacturing, strong necessities for the tight quality controls to improve the yield rate and profitability, and so on. For the purposes of reducing wasteful spending as a whole industry, ensuring international compatibilities, and allowing effective uses of the international foundry businesses for the manufacturing of low-priced products, the standardization of the features and the specifications of the semiconductor integrated circuits and memories for every technology generation has ever proceeded. The ITRS Technology Roadmap was introduced to press ahead with the standardization of semiconductor technologies in the private sector worldwide.

Compared to the field of international politics, the standardization with maintaining and updating the technology roadmap of the semiconductor industry is much simpler. It can safely be said in other words that the purpose of maintaining the roadmap is to make the matters relevant to the semiconductor industry simpler and cheaper. In general, the roadmap covers several future technology generations counting from the latest released. Someone who is interested in the specifications of previous technology generations should consult some older roadmaps than the latest available. Because of increasingly high costs in plant and equipment investments on the constant cycle, the semiconductor industry is always susceptible to the recent trends and the future prospects for business activities in some of the developed and developing countries, which are inevitably accompanied by uncertainties according to the UCCR theory. The roadmap has been wisely updated once a year so that the features and the specifications of the integrated circuits and memories for future generations listed on it can be revised while reflecting on the recent business activities. The ITRS Technology Roadmap has approximately followed the forecasts for the scaling of the CMOS transistors on the basis of the renowned Moore's law while taking the performances, the power consumptions, the costs, the manufacturability, the yields, etc. appropriate for each generation into account for the coming one to two decades.

The latest ITRS Technology Roadmap covers several CMOS technology generations up to the 1.8 nm node, the gate length and the supply voltage of which are 7 nm and 0.68 V respectively. The year of production for the 1.8 nm technology generation is forecasted to be 2025. The scaling limit of the gate length of the CMOS silicon transistors is considered to be about the gate length of this generation. At the 1.8nm generation or earlier, the scaling of the CMOS silicon transistors has to be given up probably. After the period of the CMOS scaling, it seems that the technologies of the non-silicon integrated circuit and the photonic-integrated circuit are promising. The technology of the photonic-integrated circuit has great potential in the development of some innovative light-emitting devices for it.

My diary today takes up the subject of the development and commercialization of a new device by way of illustration of the application of the perspectives based on my UCCR theory. In general, the essence of natural science must be independent of financial states of affairs. Nowadays, however, there's an upward trend in the difficulty of raising funds for the experimental sciences without appealing to the social contribution of research, so the financial state of affairs is increasingly affecting the progress in science. Unlike the fields of natural science, in most cases, most fields of technology should be clearly bound up with economic and international situations. Therefore, when a new device is in the course of development followed by the desired commercialization, several factors that are accompanied by uncertainties in varying degrees should be taken into consideration, according to the UCCR theory.

In most cases, an extent of an objective view and a span of time suitable for the matters relevant to the epoch-making invention and the practical implementation of a new device shouldn't be much different from what is used in the ITRS Roadmap, though there certainly exist some variations depending upon the types of applications and industries. If a novel device has to be invented and actualized for several purposes, the time span for its development should be extended over a longer period, and the time slot for its probable commercialization may be left open in the early stage. Within the defined range of applications, people who are engaging in device development need to look at the matters relevant to it from different viewpoints in terms of various factors, such as the necessities, the performances, the manufacturability, the durability, the safety, the costs, the profitability, the competitiveness, the popularity, etc. in the order of ascending priorities. During the early period of the development of a new device following the plain definitions of the application range and the necessary factors, what people have to do should be the gathering of necessary information. After obtaining the necessary information, what people have to do next are detailed analyses of the data, the logical deliberations of the factors above, the invention of innovative ideas, and then the actualization of a new device from scratch or the introductions of some new ideas to improve an existing device. So many people, so many kinds of talent and so many ways of thinking. My way of thinking about research and development was briefly explained in my diary on June 9 and September 20, 2011. How nice the outcomes of research and development are, who comes up with these outcomes, and when these occur may be accompanied by uncertainties because intellectual brain activities should require frequent uses of a number of brain cells for many hours, days, or months, according to the UCCR theory. Judging at regular intervals from the project's progress, the likelihood of success, and the economic and international situations, a project plan to develop a new device may be modified flexibly or if necessary may be canceled.

As demonstrated in my diary for the last three days, there are a number of cases to which the perspectives based on my UCCR theory can be applied. It goes without saying that these three sample cases unfolded on the assumption that the UCCR theory was right. Although the validity of it hasn't been verified yet, it seems to me that the results of the applications of the perspectives based on it to these sample cases sound reasonable. At least, these theories and perspectives satisfy my questioning mind.

The origin of the solar system is understandable, and the theory proposed for it on the basis of the formation of a gathering of an enormous amount of massive particles by the mutually attractive force of gravitation followed by the ignition of the fusion reactions at its center is agreeable. This is mostly because it's verifiable observationally. On the other hand, there are many theories about the origins of life, but none of these theories has been proven experimentally. The situation to burrow into the mystery of the origin of the universe is much more severe. Probably, it's more difficult to understand the origin of the universe than to understand that of life, and it's even more difficult to verify the theory about the origin of the universe scientifically. In science, the origins of the universe and life are still deeply cloaked in mystery. In religion, God created the universe and life.
