Schrödinger’s cat experiment illustrates the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics, which led to the exploration of how observations affect physical reality. The experiment reveals a fundamental difference between classical physics and quantum mechanics, sparking debate among physicists and having important implications for modern physics. ‘Steven Hawking’ said...
How does an oxygen permeable membrane selectively extract oxygen from a mixture of gases?
Oxygen is an essential resource not only for life support, but also for industry, medicine, space exploration, and many other applications. Oxygen permeation membrane technology selectively isolates oxygen from mixed gases, with invasive atoms and diffusion playing a key role in the process. Oxygen is an essential substance for life. It is not only important for living organisms, but also...
Should child sex offender identification protect the human rights of the offender or the safety of the victim?
The ruling that child sex offender identification is constitutional in South Korea makes perfect sense. Child sexual offenses leave victims scarred for life, and disclosure of the offender’s identity is essential for social safety and justice. South Korean society needs stronger penalties and a change in attitudes toward these crimes. It’s no wonder that the South Korean court ruled...
How are ideas shaped by individual ingenuity and social influences, and how do we reconcile these conflicts?
Ideas are formed through a harmonious combination of individual ingenuity and social influence. Diverse ideas can cause conflict within an individual, but when they are harmoniously integrated, deep thought and action are born. The value of ideas shines through this process. Ideas are not the product of an individual, but of a social community. Individual ideas come in many forms...
Does the potential of big data depend solely on technological advancements, or does the discernment and skill of the analyst hold the key?
Big data has great potential in the modern world, but technological advancements alone will not be enough to realize its full potential. The discernment and skills of data analysts are paramount, and collaboration from a variety of backgrounds will determine the success of big data utilization. Just five years ago, big data was an unfamiliar concept known only to those in the know. At the...
In the Digital Age, Can Search Engines Replace the Wisdom and Social Role of Elders?
This article explores how search engines in the digital age have replaced the wisdom and advisory roles of elders, weakened their social status, and explores ways to restore their connection to society. There is an African proverb that goes something like this. “When an elderly person dies, it is like a library burning down.” This proverb implies that an elderly person is like a library, a...
Are multiverses real or just imaginary? (Possibilities and limitations of quantum mechanics and the concept of infinity)
The multiverse theory claims that there could be an infinite number of universes besides our own, and is based on quantum mechanics and the concept of infinity. However, it is still a subject of debate due to difficulties in theoretical evidence and observation, and more logical complements and experimental verification are needed to complete the theory. We’ve all seen fantasy...
