I don't want you to spend time thinking about what chemistry and its subdisciplines have done for us. This is a question that I touched on earlier in my introduction to the atom, and I will touch on later when I talk about the future of science and what they can do.Now, here's another question: What does a modernizer need to do if he wants to advance science and set up a lab to stay ahead of the curve? Chemists of the past extracted substances from rocks and then studied them in the laboratory, regardless of time and space or the relationship between the subject and nature.
