Course Description During the time from the birthday of the baby universe up to the present huge and silent one, our earth was born in the solar system, and the life was born on the earth. Although the limited surface of the earth is the whole world we can watch and listen directly, the industry developed by the Homo sapience began to destruct the future of the earth. Keeping this fact in mind, we should try to find the harmonic way to be with the environment. First of all, it is necessary to know both of the universe and the life. 3
