Features: The purpose of "Getting Closer to Science" is "promoting the spirit of science; spreading scientific thinking; advocating scientific methods; disseminating scientific knowledge." What is science? Different people may have different interpretations. Here, we emphasize a science that is not limited to superconductivity, nanotechnology, genetics, and space exploration. From the smallest aspects of daily life, such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation, to the vastest realms, including outer space, the depths of the Earth, millions of years ago, and millions of years in the future, science is omnipresent. It influences our lives at every moment, shaping our way of thinking. Exploring China's lost civilizations, uncovering historical mysteries, and solving enigmas. This book is part of the "Getting Closer to Science" popular science series. Searching for the Flying Tigers' eagles, revealing the mystery of the Great Wall of Apo, uncovering the enigma of the strange caves in Yuankeng Town, and solving the mystery of the "Fushan Shouhai" in the Summer Palace. Too many questions, too much curiosity—humankind needs more exploration, and we need to solve more mysteries. Open this book and let us embark on a journey of exploring unsolved mysteries. Compared to other news and entertainment programs, science programs face a much greater challenge in attracting viewers. They must not only explain the surface phenomena of scientific facts but also provide rigorous scientific evidence and logical reasoning. Transforming profound scientific facts filled with principles and logical relationships into lively, accessible, and audience-friendly television programs is indeed not an easy task. Complicated storylines, suspenseful narratives, and compelling character fates all become key factors in boosting ratings. For science programs, simply telling stories is not enough. The scientific principles within the stories and the scientific analysis of unsolved mysteries are the essential features that distinguish them from other programs. "Getting Closer to Science" is positioned as a program that presents reasoning stories in daily life and scientifically analyzes hot topics and mysteries. How to explain scientific principles in a way that attracts viewers is a challenge faced by producers. The flexible use of props in popular science programs is an indispensable tool for solving this challenge.
