In the fourth episode, which aired on the 21st, Lee Jung-mo, who visited the science museum in Barcelona, drew attention by introducing various exhibits. Along with abundant attractions such as trilobite fossils, Australopithecus skulls, meteorites, and stratum creation experiences, the 300-pyeong Mangrove Forest Experience Center has appeared, giving a vivid sense of reality. Life coexisting under tree roots and rainforests recreated with artificial rain have given viewers a new scientific experience.
When the story of dinosaurs came out, Lee Jung-mo showed off his dinosaur virtues in earnest. Regarding the T-Rex's short arms, he corrected that the V-hand movements that children often imitate are different from the real ones, saying "1.2m." Dinosaur T-shirts are not often worn because they are wary of their family members, but dinosaur socks are often worn, which made people laugh.
Lee Jung-mo also pointed out the misunderstanding of dinosaurs. 'Dinosaurs are big, 'Dinosaurs are weird-looking', Rebutting the conventional wisdom that dinosaurs went extinct "There are birds that are descendants of dinosaurs still exist today. Dinosaurs are still alive."
He emphasized the nature of science that begins with the question, saying "The reason why children lose interest in dinosaurs is because they feel they have nothing more to ask." The science museum said that information should not be 'where you see it' but should be 'where the question arises' and should be a place to ask and explore yourself.
In addition, the show interestingly unraveled the link between numbers and superstitions, explaining why the cruise did not have a 17th floor, and also highlighted the hidden side of art through Barcelona's Museum of Prohibited Art. The message that artworks that can make you uncomfortable ask questions and induce reflection through emotional cracks left a deep lingering impression on viewers.
tvN 'Unusual Job: Mediterranean' airs every Monday at 10:10 p.m.
