Nikkei Science December 2016 Issue

Nikkei Science December 2016 issue'' "Nikkei Science" is a popular science magazine that delivers the latest topics of science, news broadly, deeply, and interestingly from a global perspective. First-class scientists and journalists who are active at the forefront of the world explain the impact of the forefront of science and its outcome visually to the general public in an easy-to-understand manner.''.

Content review
The movie "Shin Godzilla" is a great success. Based on real science, he has created a fiction called "gigantic unknown organism Godzilla", and it is appropriate to evaluate it as a first class SF work instead of a monster movie. One of the researchers who cooperated in the production was known for the study of extreme environmental microorganisms, and Professor Tsuyoshi Naganuma of the University of Hiroshima, which takes the synonym "Scientific Community Indiana Jones". At the time of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident, associate professor Matsumoto Yoshihisa of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, who explained in the media from the point of view of the experts, is cooperating. In addition to both doctors, we listened to Katsunori's principal investigator Fujikura of the Japan Oceanographic Research Organization (JAMSTEC) who is familiar with deep-sea creatures in general and thinks about science and fiction in "Shin · Godzilla."

Scientist
Nakajima is the editor in chief of Nikkei Science.

Naganuma is a professor at the University of Hiroshima (Graduate School of Computer Science). The specialty is biological and marine biology of extreme environment such as deep sea, earth, polar, polar, desert, mountain etc. Many books for the general public. Cooperated in the production of "Shin · Godzilla". At the end of September, at the end of September, Professor Naganuma returned from research in the desert of Egypt and continued to investigate the highlands of South American Guiana.

Matsumoto is Associate Professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Nuclear Institute of Science and Technology, Innovation / Environment / Social Sciences, Fusion, Science and Engineering, Nuclear Engineering Course). Specialty is radiation biology. We are studying the action and effect of radiation on the living body and the reaction and response to the radiation of the living body at the molecular level. Cooperated in the production of "Shin · Godzilla".

Fujikura is a senior researcher (marine biodiversity research field) of the Japan Ocean Research and Development Organization (JAMSTEC). Specialty is to study the diversity and ecology of deepwater biological ecology, especially the deepwater chemical synthesis ecosystem.

Mitani is a professor at the University of Tsukuba (engineering field of the information system of the graduate system). We collaborate on origami with folding bellows originated in "Shin · Godzilla". Specialty is CG (computer graphics) and digital manufacturing. Since 2005, he has been interested in origami and also creates software to draw origami evolution diagrams.

Future Shin Godzilla evolutions
According to Mitani Jun  and several other official publications (The Art of Shin Godzilla, Godzilla Resurgence Generation book), the fourth form was merely a beginning ("baby") and Godzilla would continue to evolve. Future forms and consequences of these have been noted, and it was pointed that extinction on the subcellular scale is necessary to defeat Godzilla.

These include the below aspects: .
 * Fifth Form
 * Self-division without limits to eventually cover the whole of Earth.
 * Divided forms may shrink in size and form a legion.
 * Become immune to the Yashiori Plan.
 * Lose algesia (sensitivity to pain) and emotions.
 * Self-generation of a completed form from a tiniest fragment of the body.
 * Sixth Form
 * Overcoming requirements of air and water to survive.
 * Will achieve self energy productions.
 * Achieving limitless nuclear fusions and overcome energy problems.
 * Degeneration of the mouth and teeth. Will eventually lose these organs.
 * Will eventually invade outer space and reach other planets.
 * Seventh Form
 * Contains a small universe within its body.
 * Synthesizing any materials and elements at will and make them its own.
 * Adapt to any environment of the universe.
