Research

”You walk along a beach, seashells, driftwood, and seaweed left by the retreating tides at your feet. Look up at the Moon, and you’re seeing the main cause of the surge and retreat of oceans from our shores. As distant as the Moon may seem, its gravitational pull on Earth plays a huge role in the formation of tides.” Since ancient times, humans have received the most primitive rhythms of life from lunar phases. There are so many poets who write eloquently about the moon, who carefully hide their unidentified emotions in it. Why are we always sad at night and why do we always have endless feelings when facing the moon?  The Moon understands all the languages on Earth. These unexplainable emotions, just like tides being influenced by the gravitational force of the Earth and the moon's distance, are fluctuating and surging according to the original setting and nature’s law.
