世界を核の脅威から救う会(というコミュニティーをmixiで立ち上げました)
半年ぶりぐらいで日記をアップします。福島原発の事故を一日でも早く収束させたい。そのために自分は何ができるだろう?3.11以来、悶々とした毎日を過ごしてきました。僕は死ぬのが怖い、臆病で卑怯な小心者です。そんなに原発事故が心配なら、現場に行って直接作業をすればいいじゃん。でも、僕にはその勇気がない。ベクレルとかシーベルトとかを聞くだけで心臓がドキドキしてしまう。あ~、自己嫌悪。でも、やっぱり何とかしたい。こんな弱虫でも、何かの役に立ちたい。黙って見ているわけにはいかない。そこで、今回、IAEA(国際原子力機関)に早期に事態を収束させるための作戦を盛り込んだ意見書を送りました。ド素人が付け焼刃で物理を勉強して考え出した苦肉の策です。要約すると、次のようなことを書きました。1.放射性物質を吸着するような特殊な空気清浄機を取り付けた飛行船を1万機ぐらい日本や近隣諸国上空に漂わせる。幸いこの提案に対しては、あるアメリカのメーカーが前向きな回答を下さいました。2.汚染された土壌には、放射性物質を吸着あるいは中和させるような土壌を化学的に合成して、汚染土壌と混ぜて耕す。また、もしかしたら、月の石にそのような性質があるかも知れないので、NASAにあるであろう月の石を良く調べて、使えるようなら使ってみる。月までロケットを飛ばし、石をたくさん持ち帰って利用する。3.水の汚染に関しては、東工大の有冨教授のチームが開発した、フェロシアン化鉄を使った浄化システムをどうかIAEAのお力でもっと多くの人に認知させて欲しい。何故か知らないが、この画期的な方法はマスコミであまり取り上げられておらず、実際に利用されているという話も聞かない。僕としては非常に残念である。4.これが一番の心配の種なのだが、原子炉をもっと早く冷やして欲しい。そのために、マイクロ波背景放射(約3K)は使えないか?そして、今回仮説として提案したのが、質量マイナスの素粒子を使うことだ。もちろんこんなもん、まだ誰も見た人はいないし、どんな加速器も検出していない。でも、もし、質量マイナスの素粒子があれば、もしかししたらE=mc?に従って、燃料棒から出てくるエネルギーを吸収してくれるのではないか?とまあ、こんな具合に、「とんでも科学」に毛が生えたような愚案を提出しました。これが何かのヒントになって、世界から核の脅威がなくなることを願って。それにしても、現場で作業をして下さっている方々にはただただ感謝と尊敬です。まさに彼ら彼女らこそ国民栄誉賞に値します。僕なんか口で言ってるだけの卑怯者です。でも、何とかしたいので、「世界を核の脅威から救う会」というコミュをmixiで開設しました。みなさんのご意見ご要望、画期的アイディアを広く募集していますので、何でもいいので書き込んで頂ければ幸いです。よろしくお願いします。また、ネット上で「一刻も早く、福島原発をコンクリート詰めに!」という署名活動も展開しています。そちらのほうも是非ご協力さい。下記は、僕がIAEAに送付した全文です。Fukushima Nuclear CrisisTo whom it may concern,My name is Takashi Suzuki. I’m a Japanese amateur physicist. I live in a city about 150kms away from the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plants.While I appreciate the efforts of the Japanese Government, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the Self Defense Forces, the Fire Departments and other related organizations to a certain extent, I can’t stand the situation any longer where the tragedy never seems to come to an end. Additionally, I think this calamity affects not only Japan but also the international community. Therefore, I’d like to suggest some strategies to rectify the problem.1. In order to get rid of the radioactive particles from the atmosphere, what would you say to utilizing special air purifiers? I don’t think such a special air purifier exists which can absorb radioactive particles from the air. Therefore, I propose some air purifier manufacturers (regardless of home or abroad) develop such air purifiers. Next, I propose they be attached to safe airships. The smaller the better, because the absorption efficiency is directly proportional to the surface area whose ratio to the volume is inversely proportional to the volume. Then, I guess that we need to fly more than ten thousand airships with the air purifiers on them above the Japanese archipelago and its neighboring countries. Of course the airships would be safe using helium, not hydrogen like the Hindenburg.2. As far as the farmland contaminated with radioactive particles is concerned, I think mixing the soil with special soil which can absorb or neutralize radiation is one of the solutions. I assume this kind of soil can be chemically synthesized. If not, there is the possibility that some kinds of soil created by using moon rocks might work. NASA should have some samples of such moon rocks, or at least the associated data. One solution is to start a moon mining operation in order to collect such moon rocks. The other solution is to synthesize such moon rocks on Earth based on the data of the samples. 3. As for water, there are two problems. One is the contaminated ocean and the other is the contaminated tap water. In order to purify the ocean, the research team led by Dr.Masanori Aritomi(Nuclear engineering) of the Tokyo Institute of Technology invented an epoch-making purifying system using iron(III) ferrocyanide. I hope the Japanese Waterworks Bureau utilizes this new system to purify tap water as well. Dr. Aritomi says that iron(III) ferrocyanide can also be applied to the cleaning of the contaminated soil. Unfortunately and strangely enough, very few in the Japanese mass media have reported the existence of this miraculous invention, so I would really appreciate it if the IAEA would urge the Japanese Government to make the most use of this latest device. 4. The most serious and the most critical problem is how to cool the fuel rods a lot faster. TEPCO is cooling the fuel rods using water but it is said that it will take more than three years to complete the operations. Here, I’d like to suggest some ideas for accelerating the speed of the cooling operations. First, wouldn’t cosmic microwave background radiation be effective? Secondly, how about using the elementary particles with negative mass? If you put objects containing elementary particles with negative mass near the above-mentioned fuel rods, you can expect the objects to absorb the energy from the fuel rods and gain mass according to Einstein’s equation E=mc?. I guess that the maximum mass of such particles is 0. From what I understand, such elementary particles with negative mass have not been detected yet, so I think I need to elaborate on the idea of elementary particles with negative mass. The Assumption of Elementary Particles with Negative Mass Let’s assume that there is a void which contains a countless number of universes including our universe. Let’s assume that this void has neither a beginning nor an ending, that is, this void is eternal. Logic says that everything that has a shape is sure to break some day. The contraposition of this logic is that an object which won’t break forever is shapeless, which means this object is infinite. Now that I have assumed that the void is eternal, it follows that the void is infinite. Then, if the void is infinite, any point in the void can be a center of mass, which leads to the conclusion that the total mass of the void equals 0. Therefore, there must be elementary particles with negative mass which offset the mass of existing universes, stars, galaxies, planets and other miscellaneous matters. I strongly hope that these elementary particles with negative mass work well in absorbing the energy from the fuel rods and making the cooling process much faster. I know that all I have written above might be wishful thinking and mere speculation. However, I hope that what I have written now could give some hints to extremely smart scientists and they would do their very best to save not only Fukushima but also Japan and the international community from nuclear threats.
