In this blog post, we will examine the concepts and differences between inductivism and falsificationism, their respective limitations, and the significance of these two approaches in the development of science. The Emergence of Inductivism and Falsificationism Scientific theories are formed based on empirical facts obtained through observation and experimentation. Consequently, the idea...
In this blog post, I’ll reflect on my 1 year, 10 months, and 7 days of military service, covering training and self-reflection, the social structure of the barracks and my experiences with leadership, and the emotions I felt while cut off from the outside world.

In this blog post, we will examine the controversy surrounding conscientious objection to military service and the alternative service system from the perspectives of the Constitution and national security, and we will review and refine the relevant arguments and counterarguments to reflect recent changes in the system. Conscientious Objection to Military Service and the Alternative...
In this blog post, we’ll explore the principles and benefits of the spherical bow, as well as the scientific principles behind improving the navigational efficiency of modern ships. As international trade has expanded in modern society, ships have continuously evolved to transport more cargo faster. That’s why modern ships are often referred to as the culmination of various engineering...
In this blog post, we’ll explore how the transit cards we use every day work, as well as the characteristics, applications, and limitations of RFID technology. Transportation Cards and RFID in Everyday Life An old energy drink commercial featured a woman who, after receiving a call from her boss saying he was looking for her, hurriedly boarded a bus and inserted her cell phone into the...
In this blog post, we’ll explore the role and principles of bridge bearings—the key components responsible for bridge safety—and examine their importance through real-life accident cases. The Banghwa Bridge Accident and the Importance of Bridge Bearings On July 30, 2013, in South Korea, the collapse of the deck on the Banghwa Bridge resulted in the deaths of two workers and injuries to one...
In this blog post, we’ll examine the background behind the “gongdoli” stereotype attached to engineering students, the problem of insufficient liberal arts education, and possible solutions. The Term “Gongdoli” and the Reality of Engineering Students I am an engineering student. Engineering students are often referred to as “gongdoli.” Perhaps because the pronunciation is similar to...
In this blog post, we’ll explore how buildings withstand earthquakes and strong winds, the core principles of seismic design, and the conditions under which these principles are applied. Why can some super-tall buildings withstand strong earthquakes and winds? The Burj Khalifa, one of the world’s tallest buildings, stands at a total height of 828 meters. This height is more than three...
In this blog post, we will examine the evidence supporting the evolutionary theory of rape and the counterarguments against it, and review the logic behind each claim. How did the evolutionary theory of rape emerge? Rape, a serious sexual crime, is a social problem that has historically been found in nearly all human societies. For this reason, research aimed at explaining the root causes...
In this blog post, we will examine the concept of adaptation, starting from Darwin’s theory of natural selection, to explore whether rape can be viewed as an evolutionary adaptation, drawing on historical and contemporary examples as well as academic debates. Basic Concepts of Adaptation and Natural Selection The concept of adaptation has become central to biology following the publication...
