빅 히스토리(거대사)는 빅뱅부터 생명과 인류의 등장, 그리고 문명에 이르기까지 인문학과 자연과학을 모두 아우르는 융합 학문분야로, 최근 들어 중등 및 고등 교육기관 교육자들의 관심을 차츰 받고 있는 분야이다. 미국에서는 현재 빌 게이츠의 지원 아래 '빅 히스토리 프로젝트'를 운영하며 중등학교 교사들이 이용할 수 있는 자료를 구축하고 제공하는 등 활발한 교육 및 연구가 이루어지고 있지만, 아직 우리나라에서는 관련 연구가 교육이 활발히 이루어지고 있지는 않다. 이번 연구에서 우리는 1) 빅 히스토리 프로젝트, 2) 새로운 모습으로 올해 소개된 다큐멘터리 '코스모스', 3) 빅 히스토리 관련 서적들의 콘텐츠를 정리하고, 이들을 시대별, 주제별, 그리고 소주제별로 분류하여 얼마나 다양한 방법으로 접근할 수 있는지 보일 것이다. 향후에는 이 콘텐츠를 대학의 교양교육과정에서 어떻게 이용할 수 있는지를 제시하는 것이 목표이다.

본 논문에서는 네트워크의 발전과 빅 데이터 등의 차세대 기술에 발맞추어 단방향적 정보전달이 아닌, 고객 중심의 고객만족 서비스를 제안하고자 하나의 앱을 제작한다. 뷰티 캐스터 앱은 사용자들의 기본정보, 환경정보, 외부정보를 통합 분석한 '개인별 뷰티지수' 산출 등의 개인 정보 서비스와 함께 개인별 뷰티지수를 활용한 'Auto-counselling' 제공하고, 사용자의 정보로부터 획득한 히스토리를 분석하여 맞춤형 Commerce를 구성한다. 이러한 뷰티 캐스터 앱은 실제 코스메틱 기업에서 활용 가능하여 어플리케이션 상용화 시, 정보를 제공하는 기업과 기능을 제공하는 뷰티 캐스터 모두 이익을 얻을 수 있을 것이며, 이러한 뷰티 캐스터는 빅 데이터를 기반으로한 사용자의 니즈 파악이 빠른 어플리케이션 이므로 사용자들의 구매에 따라 컨텐츠가 변화하기 때문에 고객들이 원하는 정보를 빠르게 습득하여 전달 할 수 있다. 또한, 뷰티 지수의 고도화를 통한 '대한민국 코스메틱 지표화'를 기대하여 그 지표를 통해 고객들의 코스메틱 구매 기준을 마련할 수 있다.

For students, astronomy is not only interesting but also difficult to learn. However, there is a limit in learning astronomy in a school science setting since astronomy is vast subject. Fortunately, science museums can be helpful in overcoming this limitation. Experiences in science museum provide something that any descriptions or illustrations cannot give. Therefore, to maximize the educational effect, it is necessary to look at astronomical exhibits regarding the educational aspects and complement them. For these reasons, the purpose of this study is to investigate characteristics of exhibitions related to astronomy and how much the exhibitions reflect the contents of their science curricula. We selected famous science museums in Korea, America, and Japan and analyzed characteristics of their astronomy exhibition. We analyze these characteristics in the aspects of exhibition technology & media, presentation method and activity types. Also, this study figures out how content of exhibitions are connected to school science curriculum. The results are summarized as follows: First, Science Museums of America and Japan utilize interactive exhibits to raise participation. It implies that Science Museum of Korea needs Interactive Exhibits that provide a realistic experience of the universe. Second, the astronomy exhibits reflect some of the learning elements of their science curricula concerned with astronomy. However, these astronomical contents are included selectively and not according to their required curriculum. It means that many students lack the opportunity to study Astronomy in their schools. Therefore, the astronomy museum must reflect learning elements of science curricula concerned with astronomy in the exhibits.

This paper aims to clarify the similarities and differences between the Zhouyi and artificial intelligence. The divination of the Zhouyi is rooted in the oldest system of human knowledge, while artificial intelligence stands at the cutting edge of modern scientific revolution. At first sight, there does not appear to be any association that links the one to the another. However, they share the same ground as seen from a semiotic standpoint because both of them depend on the semiotic system as a means of obtaining knowledge. At least four aspects can be pointed out in terms of similarities. First, artificial intelligence and the Zhouyi use artificial language that consists of semiotic signs. Secondly, the principle that enables divination and artificial intelligence lies in imitation and representation. Thirdly, artificial intelligence and the Zhouyi carry out inferences based on mathematical algorithms that adopt the binary system. Fourth, artificial intelligence and the Zhouyi use analogy as a means of obtaining knowledge. However, those similarities do not guarantee that the Zhouyi could arrive at the scientific certainty. Nevertheless, it can give us important insight into the essence of our civilization. The Zhouyi uses intellect in order to get new information about the unknown world. However, it is hard to know what kind of intellect is involved in the process of divination. Likewise, we do not know the fundamental character of artificial intelligence. The intellect hidden in the unknown subject is a mystic and fearful existence to us. Just as the divination of the Zhouyi inspires the sense of reverence toward the supernatural subject, we could not but have fear in front of the invisible subject hidden in artificial intelligence. In the past, traditional philosophy acknowledged the existence of intellect only in conscious beings. Nonetheless, it becomes evident that human civilization ushers into a new epoch. As Ray Kurzweil mentioned, the moment of singularity comes when artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence. In my viewpoint, the term of singularity can be used for denoting the critical point in which the human species enters into the new phase of civilization. To borrow the term of Shao Yong(邵雍) in the Northern Song Dynasty, the past civilization belongs to the Earlier Heaven(先天), the future civilization belongs to the Later Heaven(後天). Once our civilization passes over the critical point, it is impossible to go back into the past. The opening of the Later Heaven foretold by the religious thinkers in the late period of Joseon Dynasty was a prophecy in its own age, but it is becoming a reality in the present.
