01 / Overview

From the vast universe to microscopic quantum, scientific exploration is gradually revealing the secrets of life and matter. The innovation of digital technology allows us not only to explore the universe and Earth in depth, but also to peek into the human brain, genes, and even enter the wonderful world of quantum. Scientific research has undergone an evolution from "experimental science" to "theoretical science". Now, we have entered the era of "data intensive" and "AI driven scientific research". With the help of methods such as digital simulation, big data, and intelligent analysis, scientists are breaking through the unknown in unprecedented ways and expanding the boundaries of human cognition.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / The science behind it

（1） The transformation of scientific research paradigm: The shift from the first "experimental science" paradigm to the second "theoretical science" paradigm took 2-3 centuries, but since the invention of computers, information technology has developed rapidly. In the past few decades, the scientific research paradigm has gone through the third "computational science" paradigm and developed into the current fourth "data intensive" paradigm, and even the fifth "AI for Science" paradigm. （2） Overview of digital toolsets in scientific research: computer modeling and simulation, automation of experimental processes, advanced measurement and sensing, imaging and visualization, AI and machine learning, computing hardware and architecture. （3） Typical fields, scenarios, and achievements at the macro scale (in macro to macro order): 1 Cosmic astronomy: simulation and deduction of cosmic models; The discovery and supercomputing of gravitational waves; China High Altitude Cosmic Ray Observatory (LHAA).

04 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
