I’m Ken Kuwako, a Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment. The program “Nature Teacher: The Ultimate Experiment on Planet Earth”, which I had the opportunity to work on as a science supervisor and on-screen expert, aired on TBS on January 18. This was a large-scale science variety show in which the comedy duo Chocolate […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, your Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment. Have you ever wondered just how unlikely it is that you were born as exactly you? If you actually do the math, the number turns out to be truly astronomical. In this article, we’ll unravel the mystery behind this incredible “one-in-a-trillion miracle” using something […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, a Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment! Why doesn’t a moving bicycle fall over? Why does a spinning top keep spinning without toppling over? The secret lies in something called the “gyroscopic effect.” The gyroscopic effect is the fascinating and rather mysterious property of a rotating object that makes it want […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, your Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment. When teaching “force” in science class, we often tell students that “to exert a force on an object, you have to touch it.” But electrostatic force can act on objects from a distance, almost like a magnet, even when the objects are not touching. […]

In fact, this phenomenon, which is often misunderstood, turns out to be surprisingly deep when you try to explain it scientifically […]
