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 that science is not limited to superconductivity, nanotechnology, genetics, or space exploration. From the smallest aspects of daily life, such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation, to the vastest realms like outer space, the depths of the Earth, millions of years ago, and millions of years in the future, science is omnipresent. It is always influencing our lives and shaping our way of thinking. Exploring China's lost civilizations, uncovering historical mysteries, and solving enigmatic puzzles. This book is part of the "Getting Closer to Science" popular science series. Searching for vanished armies, revealing murders in the aquarium, uncovering strange spontaneous combustion, and solving the mystery of sudden deaths in the Ailao Mountains—too many questions, too much curiosity. Humanity needs more exploration, and humanity needs 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 greater challenges 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 story of life; scientific analysis of hotspots and points of contention. 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.
