In this blog post, we’ll use the movie Gattaca to compare the essential differences between custom and natural humans, and explore the ethical and personal implications of both choices.   “Welcome to GATTACA” is the first line of the movie GATTACA, which depicts a futuristic society with highly advanced genetic engineering. In the movie, genetic analysis reveals the specific sequences...

This blog post explores why, to understand the nature of the universe and dimensions, we need to move beyond Euclidean concepts to the multidimensional theories of modern physics.   Euclid is credited with using the term “dimension” to give mathematical meaning to the properties of objects: length, width, and depth. In Euclidean geometry, a straight line is defined as a typical one...

This blog post is a philosophical exploration of whether robots can be recognized as human beings and whether they can evolve into true life forms.   Advances in science and technology are increasingly making life easier for people and prolonging their lives. Since the Industrial Revolution, the development of technology has accelerated, and today we live in a time when we rely on science...

In this blog post, we’ll explore the issue of teen suicide and why our society doesn’t listen to them.   It’s no secret that South Korea has one of the highest youth suicide rates in the world. It’s become such a familiar part of our society that whenever the topic comes up, the natural reaction is “Not again?” While the average youth suicide rate in OECD countries...

In this blog post, we explore the ethical dilemmas of self-driving cars and how we can determine their responsibilities and technical limits.   We face many conflicts in our lives. We argue with people to see whose opinion is right, and we wonder if our actions are ethically correct. Furthermore, we question why we should do what is “ethically right” and what is “right” in the first place...

In this blog post, we’ll explain how airplanes fly and the scientific secret behind it in simple terms using Bernoulli’s principle. Let’s explore the wonders of science together.   As a child, we’ve all watched airplanes fly in wonder. The sight of an airplane soaring high in the sky piqued our curiosity, and the sight of it flying freely through the air was a marvel...

In this blog post, we’ll analyze from a psychological perspective why we follow the majority and how it affects our judgment.   As the saying goes, “follow your friends to Gangnam,” and in psychology, it’s called “groupthink” when we mimic the behavior of others. In OX quizzes, when you’re unsure of the answer, following the choice of more people is also a form of herding...

In this blog post, we explore the historical and social context of why thinness has become a standard of beauty.   If you’re a woman, you’ve probably thought at least once that you should lose weight. And we’ve all heard the response. “You don’t have anything to lose,” but underneath it all, there’s always a sense of self-dissatisfaction and unconscious pressure...

In this blog post, we’ll discuss how leg muscle contraction force varies with exercise intensity and the role of the branch and fast-twitch muscle fibers. We’ll explain how each muscle fiber is mobilized.   Imagine a student going from a brisk walk to a fast trot. What exercise physiology principle is at work here? When performing an exercise, the force exerted by a muscle, or...

In this blog post, we’ll explore the process and implications of how borrowing in art has become a tool for creative reinterpretation.   Borrowing used to have a negative connotation in the art world, where originality is highly valued. Only the original work of an individual is authentic, and the act of borrowing was generally rejected. This is because artists create works based on...
