ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Pharology

Pharology is like being a lighthouse detective! Remember those really tall towers with flashing lights on them? They are called lighthouses and they used to help boats and ships know where they were going in the dark or in foggy weather. Pharologists are like detectives who learn all about lighthouses and their history, and they go around finding out about new ones and trying to make sure they don't get lost or broken.

They also find out about the people who made the lighthouses and the technology they used. They study things like the lenses and the mirrors that make the light shine brighter and farther. Pharologists can also tell you about the different colors and patterns of lights that lighthouses use to help ships know where they are. They might even help make sure the light bulb and the electricity that powers the lighthouse are working properly.

So, pharology is basically being an expert detective who investigates and takes care of lighthouses, which are tall towers with flashing lights that help boats and ships not get lost.
