Introducing the hottest science communicators
Science, the new liberal arts of the 21st century!

'Supoja' is now a common noun.
'Supoja' is an abbreviation for 'a person who gave up on math', and if there are this many 'supoja', there must be even fewer 'gwapoja' who gave up on science.
But now it is difficult to avoid issues related to ‘science’.
Whether you're concerned about the climate crisis or talking about cryptocurrencies, you need to know a little bit about science.
But since I gave up on science before I even finished high school, I just read science articles and think, "I guess so."
A book has been published for these people.
It's clearly a science-themed story, but it's lighthearted and lively.
If I knew just this much, I could boast, “I know a little about this,” when a science-related issue comes up.
That's why the title is 'The Scientific Pretense of Orbit'.

The author of this book studied astronomy and space science at Yonsei University's Department of Astronomy and Space Science, its graduate school, and the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute. He is currently a science communicator and host of the YouTube channel "Unsuccessful Science" under the pseudonym "Unsuccessful Science," which is reminiscent of his major, satellite orbits.
In addition, he appeared on KBS News Special to provide live commentary on the launch of Nuriho, the first Korean launch vehicle, and appeared on various TV and terrestrial radio programs such as JTBC's National Science and Technology Representative, iHQ's G-Sik's Night, and MBN's Srasoni Academy, establishing himself as the hottest science communicator.

This book is a culmination of the author's long experience as a science communicator.
While scientifically analyzing familiar topics like cryptocurrencies, diet, and love, it also covers "hardcore" scientific concepts like the Higgs particle, black holes, and quantum mechanics, all in an easy-to-read and engaging way.
Even though it seems like it only tells a story about quantum mechanics, I think that after reading it all, you will be able to understand what quantum mechanics is.

“It’s a book like a GPS satellite orbiting the Earth.
“The world of science provides accurate information and guidance on the location of science to those who want to know more but find it difficult to overcome the barrier.”
Lee Myeong-hyeon (science writer, CEO of Galda Science Bookstore)

They say you don't need to know everything, but
Wouldn't it be good to know this much?

So that you can enjoy difficult science in a delicious way!
A scientific recipe full of seasoning and a sweet and salty flavor.

The author compares science to broccoli.
At first, I couldn't eat it because it looked scary, but after eating the dish with oyster sauce, I became a broccoli maniac.
The author expresses his ambition that this book will serve as a source of information, introducing the charm of science to readers who are not familiar with it.
Science may seem like something only scientists do, but we living today are already experiencing the power of science.
AlphaGo has given us a huge shock, and we are concerned about the climate crisis because of the abnormal weather occurring around the world.
To understand these issues and participate in related discussions, science has become an essential liberal arts skill.
This book, which introduces science in an easy, fun, and accurate way, will serve as a springboard to help readers get one step closer to scientific discussion.

"But what if the person standing in Sindorim wasn't you, but Tzuyu from Twice? With her slim figure, you'd think she'd be able to catch the subway very quickly, but that's not the case.
So many citizens who recognize Tzuyu will ask for her autograph or take pictures with their phones that it might be impossible to even get down to the subway to change trains.
Because it is so popular and interacts with citizens a lot, it has no choice but to move slowly.
This is the Higgs field effect.
Regardless of appearance, the heaviest particle is the one that interacts the most with the Higgs field, and the lightest particle is the one that interacts the least.”
─From the text

This is the part where the Higgs field is explained in 『The Orbital Science Bluff』.
To explain the Higgs field, we pass through Sindorim Station and the celebrity to reach the interaction.
The language scientists use is difficult because it seems so foreign to me.
But 'Science Fiction', full of metaphors and jokes, demystifies difficult situations in a language I know.
So, as Director Lee Jeong-mo says, this book “makes readers fall into the pleasant illusion that science is easy and exciting.”

To you who is new to science,
For those who find science difficult,
“Science is nothing special.”

You may have seen research on the news that suggests drinking one or two glasses of wine a day is good for you.
Is that really true? A climate crisis is brewing, and some places are experiencing a cold snap.
How is this possible? When we think about it, there's so much we don't know and so much we wonder about.
Science often has tentative, if not definitive, findings that are at least actively discussed.
But we may not be able to find scientific answers because the language of science is difficult.

This book is unique and unparalleled in that it addresses such questions in a sensual language.
From familiar topics like dating, dieting, and mukbang (eating shows) to the most serious scientific concepts like black holes, the Higgs, and quantum mechanics, and even topics that seem impossible to answer with science, like ghosts, aliens, and free will, we look at them through the microscope and telescope of science.
Readers will be able to naturally overcome their fears and awkwardness about science while enjoying the pleasant jokes and 'stories'.
And then, before you know it, you may find yourself boasting, “Science is nothing special.”

In recent years, scientific topics have increasingly become the center of social discussion and controversy.
In the past, I would have thought that such a topic could be left to experts who knew science well.
But as we realize that the consequences impact society as a whole, the nation as a whole, and the entire planet as a whole, a consensus is forming that this cannot be left to scientists alone.
On the one hand, science is also established as an essential liberal arts that helps us understand the world, the universe, and ourselves.
Scientific knowledge and attitude are essential to avoid wasting time and money by getting caught up in pseudoscience.
We live in an age where even non-scientists need to know science.
This book opens the way for many people to become familiar with science.
