Recommendation_008
I wish I had a book like this when I first started studying science.
A book that summarizes the experiences of the growth of physical thinking in one place.
I hope you can understand the original papers of these genius scientists.

How great would it have been if there had been a book like this when I first started studying science?

Now, we have entered an era where space development is led by the private sector.
For example, the American company SpaceX has achieved groundbreaking achievements such as the world's first commercial spacecraft launch and the docking of private astronauts to the International Space Station.
In keeping with this trend, our country is also actively pursuing the development of the space industry by advancing the production, launch, and operation technology of Nuriho.

Why does humanity desire to go into space and conquer it? It's probably a curiosity to know, a spirit of exploration to pioneer.
It is no exaggeration to say that the development of civilization was achieved through the development of science and mathematics.
This book explains, in an easy-to-understand way, how phenomena we encounter in our daily lives have been proven theoretically, following the development of physics, rather than being difficult science.
In particular, the vividness of seeing original papers from great scientists and learning one-on-one will make learning science more familiar and enjoyable.

Want to read original papers by genius scientists?

An intimate science story, like taking a one-on-one class.
Until now, it was common for the general public, students learning science, and even scientists researching in the field to study through textbooks or theoretical books.
However, if we know how many creative thoughts and experiments scientists have gone through to discover new things before the birth of a theory, science will no longer be a subject to be memorized.

"The Quantum Revolution," a book written by Nobel Prize winners, provides an engaging introduction to science, from the foundations of scientific theory to its birth.
In particular, the first paper on quantum theory in this book provides a quick overview of the historical flow, from the interpretation of the black body radiation experiment to the proof of the quantum particle.
Of course, it would be ideal if you recall high school math to understand this paper, but it is still accessible without any burden.
I hope that, like Planck, who boldly took on the challenge, your scientific knowledge will expand further as you pick up this book.


Build up your knowledge of the history and background of science in a fun, conversational way.

Is there anything more deeply connected to our daily lives than science? The discovery of quantum mechanics a century ago has led to advancements in semiconductors, lasers, and other technologies, opening up a world of nanoscale understanding for humanity. Einstein's theory of relativity, the principle of time and space, revealed 120 years ago, has revealed how the universe was formed and how it will evolve in the future.
Also, science fiction films such as 'Interstellar' have become popular among the public by revealing the mysteries of the universe in a more accessible way.
Knowing this, science is not a difficult subject, but is closely related to the evolution and development of mankind, and can be learned in a fun way.
However, I sometimes feel sad that in our country, there are still many people who vaguely think of science as difficult.

This book is based on original papers containing the core research of scientists, and through conversations between physics professors and professor Jeong, explains the historical background and behind-the-scenes stories of historical physics theories in an easy-to-understand manner.
As you read the historical background and episodes of the birth of this book's great scientific theories, you will find yourself becoming more interested in science.


The joy of science in a series

One of the things that surprises me when talking to foreigners is that they find learning science very enjoyable.
Perhaps for this reason, the average scientific knowledge of the people is quite high, and in fact, many Nobel Prize winners in science have been produced.
However, looking at the situation in our country, it seems that the threshold is still quite high.


The author of this book expresses regret that our country has not produced a Nobel Prize winner in science, and says that science is so closely connected to our lives that anyone can learn about it in a fun way.
He emphasizes that if you follow the book's contents while understanding the original papers included in the book, you will be able to welcome the coming quantum age and the age of space travel with flying colors.
This book was planned as a series.
I believe that through the process of completing each book, one's interest in science will increase and one's level of understanding will improve.
