Dr. Yoshio Nishina was a key figure in modem physics in Japan and a
world pioneer in many fields of modem science such as nuclear
physics, cosmic-ray physics, and radiobiology. He devoted his life
to the development of science, so that his beloved country could
compete with any other country in science and technology.
Unfortunately, he died soon after the Second World War and did not
witness the results of his great efforts. To commemorate the
centennial of Dr. Nishina' s birth, a Nishina Centennial Symposium
was held in Tokyo from December 5 to 7, 1990, under the
co-sponsorship of the Nishina Memorial Foundation and RIKEN (the
Institute of Physical and Chemical Research). The symposium was
entitled Evolutionary Trends in the Physical Sciences. The title of
the symposium was very broad and ambitious. Indeed, progress in
physics over recent decades has been truly amazing, so much so that
the present frontiers of physics extend far beyond the horizons we
saw when we were young. Experiments in particle physics have
revealed many new particles, and may eventually lead to the
clarification of the ultimate structure of matter, though it is not
known whether man will ever fully understand how natural forces are
unified. At the same time, it is becoming more and more likely that
the creation of the universe will finally be discovered by
continuing the lines of research into physics that have been
pursued over the past decades.
