“The chemistry and the comfort and trust between two people playing a love story l is key, and to have a friend that I could trust, and whose sensibilities I already understood, made it so much easier, and is a big part of why it all looks natural on screen.” PeopleLooksMadeTwoStoriesBigsNaturalKeysEasierComfortUnderstoodScreensLove StoryMade ItChemistrySensibility Author:Joseph Gordon-Levitt
“Physics was the first of the natural sciences to become fully modern and highly mathematical.Chemistry followed in the wake of physics, but biology, the retarded child, lagged far behind.” FirstsChildrenNaturalBehindsModernPhysicsMathematicalBiologyChemistryNatural ScienceRetarded Author:Michael Crichton
“The most powerful influence exercised by the Arabs on general natural physics was that directed to the advances of chemistry ; a science for which this race created a new era.(...) Besides making laudatory mention of that which we owe to the natural science of the Arabs in both the terrestrial and celestial spheres, we must likewise allude to their contributions in separate paths of intellectual development to the general mass of mathematical science.” NaturalPowerfulRacePathInfluenceDevelopmentMassIntellectualPhysicsMathematicalErasContributionMost PowerfulChemistrySpheresCelestialNatural ScienceNew EraIntellectual Development Author:Alexander von Humboldt
“I have been so electrically occupied of late that I feel as if hungry for a little chemistry: but then the conviction crosses my mind that these things hang together under one law & that the more haste we make onwards each in his own path the sooner we shall arrive, and meet each other, at that state of knowledge of natural causes from which all varieties of effects may be understood & enjoyed.” IfsFeelsMindMayLittlesHas BeensStatesTogetherLawCausesNaturalPathEffectsLateUnderstoodCrossesConvictionHungryVarietyEnjoyedChemistryHaste Author:Michael Faraday
“Perhaps the simplest example is a synthetic plastic, which unlike natural materials, is not degraded by biological decay. It therefore persists as rubbish or is burned-in both cases causing pollution. In the same way, a substance such as DDT or lead, which plays no role in the chemistry of life and interferes with the actions of substances that do, is bound to cause ecological damage if sufficiently concentrated.” IfsWayPlayActionCausesNaturalRolesCasesExampleMaterialsEnvironmentalBoundsSubstanceDamageChemistryPlasticPollutionDecayBurnedInterferePersistSimplestEcologicalRubbishSyntheticDdtNatural Materials Author:Barry Commoner
