Since ancient times, people have looked up at the stars to find their way, determine the seasons for farming, and send their wishes to the gods.
Throughout history, how have people understood and interpreted the stars?
Once seen as gods themselves, the stars later came to be regarded as creations of a single God. Today, scientific advances are bringing us closer than ever to understanding the universe.
As our understanding of the world continues to change, what do we choose to believe in?
In the midst of our busy lives, why not take a moment to look up at the night sky and reflect on a timeless question:
“Who are we in this vast universe?”
In this edition of Tea & Thought, we invite you on a journey through time and space to explore the history of the stars and the role they have played in shaping human beliefs.

Tea & Thought is not a lecture or a note-taking class. Instead, Tea & Thought offers a gentle yet thoughtful space for dialogue, where everyone can observe, ask questions, and reflect together on the ideas that have shaped the modern world.
If you love classical culture, are interested in philosophy, or simply want to spend an evening having a slow, meaningful conversation, we would be delighted to see you at Tea & Thought.
☕ Come join us for a cup of tea, a little curiosity, and a journey into old stories and ideas that still have plenty of meaning for us today!
I work as a semiconductor circuit design engineer, but outside of work, I have a deep fascination with the stars and the universe.
My interest in astronomy and science began when I was young, inspired by the life of Galileo Galilei and his famous words, “And yet it moves.”
Although I love science, I also respect the beliefs and traditions shaped by culture and religion. I believe there will always be questions that science cannot fully answer, no matter how much it advances.
Driven by curiosity and a desire to keep learning, I enjoy exploring the world from different perspectives and discovering new things about life and the universe..
