Takayoshi Fuchida

Takayoshi Fuchida (d. 2038) was a physicist who initially developed, along with Thomas Kearny, the theory of hyperdimensional motion within subatomic particles and further theorized the possibility for teleportation of matter between two points in space.

Biography

Takayoshi Fuchida, a single and world-renowned professor of theoretical mathematics, departed Kyoto University to attend a five-year research assignment at Stanford University in August 2014. He teamed up with the California Research/Design Team (CRDT), a multi-university think tank, and began working with Thomas Kearny, an applied physicist and nuclear engineer, on resolving problems that existed in the team's fusion reactor development program. After four years of work, the CRDT solved all the technical problems with the reactor and had it running by June 2018, at which time a team from Harvard and MIT took it over.

The next month, Fuchida and Kearny discovered, while reviewing reactor logs, that it had not been performing according to accepted theories of physics. They began a series of unauthorized experiments using the university's "quarkatron" accelerator in the nuclear physics laboratory. These experiments suggested to the pair that mass could exceed the speed of light when exposed to a specific energy state, but no existing reactors could provide the necessary power to validate their hypothesis. They chose to publish an objective report of their observations in the fall issue of Western Alliance Journal of Theoretical Physics. The responses received were minor but scornful. Their following papers became more aggressively critical of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, which returned even more ridicule. Their previously-strong reputations rapidly morphed into those of scientific screwballs, to the point that the credit for the fusion reactor fell to the finalization efforts of the Harvard/MIT team, instead of the primary CRDT, and to General Motors, which first patented the design.

By 2024, both scientists had their academic credentials revoked.

Fuchida met Katherine Kurita, an American-born research tech (and twenty years younger than he), while at Stanford and the two fell in love. Kurita was the great-great grand-niece of the famous Japanese World War II admiral, Takeo Kurita and her family's ties to influential political friends back in Japan led to Fuchida receiving a five-year extension to his Stanford assignment. They married in the spring of 2021. Following Kearny and Fuchida's scientific humiliation, Fuchida returned to Japan with his wife and opened an origami shop.

In 2018, Takayoshi Fuchida and Thomas Kearny were working together on a prototype fusion reactor at Stanford University, where they studied what they perceived to be violations of the laws of physics, as then understood. In January, they published the first paper in a series on hyperdimensional motion within subatomic particles; they would hypothesize of the ability to teleport objects between two points in space. In September of that year, they published the paper "What Happened to the Universe When Einstein Wasn't Looking" in the Western Alliance Journal of Theoretical Physics, followed by "Einstein's Theories: The Cooked and the Raw" in 2019 and "Now What?", which would become their most famous paper, in 2020. In 2021, they published "Pan-Dimensionality"; scientific feedback was humorously dismissive (due to the hypothesis being built upon theories that had not gained wide-spread scientific acceptance because of conflicts with Einsteinien theories) and the pair lost their jobs and credibility. Finally, in 2022, the pair published a number of papers that discussed, in an obscure section, the creation of artificial jump points with the necessary equations, a precursor to experimentation started in 2615 that led to hyperpulse communications.

Fuchida married Katherine Kurita in 2021; their descendents would form the ruling House Kurita of the Draconis Combine in the following centuries. He would return to Japan in 2024 to build a small business selling stationary and origami supplies in a poorer section of Tokyo.

Death

Fuchida died in 2038 from heart failure.

Vindicated

On September 3, 2107, following the successful test of the Deimos Project's experimental JumpShip, the pair of scientists would be publically vindicated, as noted by a relayed broadcast from the destination nadir point 7 AUs from Sol's southern pole: "Kearny and Fuchida should have lived to see the day."
