I think so too. Wanna run away w me until we can count all the stars? I suppose I'd never be able to live w the guilt tho of abandoning my makeshift life, or you, yours. I think the emptiness would follow anywhere, eventually emerging from remission, christening every step with nauseating catechism. What to do... Feign acceptance of the bitterness just for a tease of the sweet..? Yez...yez... I might be onto something here. Humor lies within this existence tho, albeit sardonicly taunting at best. Due to the ever swelling dwelling lump in the throat I couldn't choke down the sweetness if I were completely submerged, baptized in it. And I would know, I've been baptized 3 times. I know that you got out of bed and smiled in front of your children, …show more content…
It's impressive. That. One. Last. Molecule. And everything as it was will seize and transform. Precision amongst what seems to be chaos, something new is born from that calculated dance. I've often had to covertly wipe the tears from my eyes as I sit, surrounded by my seemingly unmoved peers (academy awards should be handed out if I misjudged even the smallest nuance of tension in their foreheads and strain in their eyes as anything other than confusion), listening to a lecture about how this is more reactive than that, how this repels or attracts that, how bonds are formed, broken, their strength, and how usually heat, hot hot heat activates transformation and gives birth to something different, old things made anew, and how cooling down, by removing heat can suspend a process, and sometimes you can control what the outcome is, other times you have to dispose of it all, placing the waste in the proper receptacle using the appropriate means bc haphazardly submerging it under water in the sink will only cause more problems involving words like purge and evacuate. I often wonder if anyone would understand if I followed through with the compulsion to shout, "Preach!" (lol) as my professor droned on. Sometimes I think abt bringing these things up among my peers (secretly, with hopes that I can meet my future
This chemistry book report is focus on a book called “Napoleon's buttons: How 17 molecules changed history” by Penny Le Couteur and Jay Burreson. The publisher of this book is Tarcher Putnam, the book was published in Canada on 2003 with 17 chapters (hey the number match the title of the book!) and a total of 378 pages. The genre of this book is nonfiction. “Napoleon's Buttons” contain a fascinating story of seventeen groups of molecules that have greatly changed the course of history and continuing affect the world we live in today. It also reveal the astonishing chemical connection among some unrelated events, for example: Chemistry caused New Amsterdamers to be renamed New Yorkers and one little accident of detonating cotton apron in a minor housekeeping mishap lead to the development of modern explosives and the founding of the movie industry.

In conclusion, the book, That’s the Way the Cookie Crumbles: 62 All New Commentaries on the Fascinating Chemistry of Everyday Life, is written to make chemistry more meaningful and popular using situations that most people go through in their lifetime. Reading this book will help you realize that there is more to chemistry than one will actually know. Dr. Joe Schwarcz gives thousands and thousands of information about the mysteries of mercury in your teeth, walking on burning coals, bug juice in ice cream, egg yolk in ice cream, beagles, soap, beer bottles, bananas and much more. He does this to present the significance of science and to clear up any misconceptions that anyone may have. But you will not learn every single thing in chemistry through this book and why it occurs that way because sometimes that is just the way the cookie crumbles!
When people think of comparison and likeness, they rapidly jump to immediate observations and obvious detections. They fail to perceive the more imperative and subtle attributes. Whether anybody knows it or not, everything that inhabits the world and even the universe is alike in at least one way. All of these substances contain matter. Matter is the physical substance which encompasses everything, from dusty nebulas to the food on one’s dinner plate. It can be described as anything that has mass and takes up space. Within this matter are infinitesimal particles called atoms. So far, they are what scientists believe to be the smallest part of anything and can even be synthesized in labs (Oxlade 7.) The knowledge scientists possess of atoms is huge, in contrast to their microscopic size. In fact, modern day scientists would not have even obtained this knowledge if preceding chemists and physicists did not unveil what was covered. They paved the way to the vast expansion of awareness and allowed the atom to be seen in its true form. However, these impeccable discoveries did not spawn from a single human being, but rather from a chronological timeline of coincidental events.
Let the stream begin. Some body, some things, life and me, communicated the idea to talk now, not to leave it, to stay, and face up to the past, the places, the people, the pain, the many reasons why I left my home and family, all those years ago, to become a drug addict, an alcoholic, a wanderer, move nomadically from house to house, year to year, to live inside a prison, real and imaginary. I met hell. I met the devil. I met them both inside my head. I found out the hard way that humans could easily imagine evil. The path forward comes from the push to write and to deal. Yes, I felt happy in between the miserable spaces. My family helped me to survive and still do now, even more so than before. Without them, I would not exist, for in the darkest moments I realised that they kept me breathing. I want the virtual picket fence, ideal partner, children and career. They may or may not eventuate. Now as I regroup, look upon me with sober, straight and clear eyes, I can have anything. I walk to a lake, to sense nature, to allow the anxiety to live on these pages, to take shape, and mould into a form that speaks atonement.
Energy is an odd concept, it is something that is neither here nor there yet has a profound impact on everything, both organic and inorganic. However, energy surrounds us in more ways than is commonly believed; it is possible that matter is only a form of energy. In fact, according to Albert Einstein, matter and energy are different forms of the same thing (“Do Antimatter and Matter Destroy Each Other?”). Through analyzing the superposition of bosons (particles without mass) and fermions (particles with mass), transformations between energy and matter, the creation of mass, and the mass of energy, the existence of what humans consider to be matter will be questioned.
Many philosophers of science and historians have certain prejudices that lead them to view alchemy as a “pseudo-science”. However, this black magic science is responsible for much of our understanding of modern day chemistry. Alchemy has definitely played a role in the growth and founding of science; it is what taught ancient chemists about what counts as an experiment and how to think about matter at its most basic level. By expanding into two different categories, one can see why alchemy should be considered an important science.

It's a never ending cycle you see. You have a hard time accepting it at first. You don't feel like you can carry on. There is no hope, no light. There is nothing but pain and darkness. You spend your days stuck in a shallow nightmare. Nothing feels right. You can masquerade around, trying to upkeep all your routines. You laugh and smile when supposed to. You say the
To control the rates of chemical reactions is imperative to the continued existence of our species. Controlled chemical reactions allow us to move forward in society, constantly. We find new ways to provide light and heat our homes, cook our food, and pursue in crafts that benefit our society. There are, however, just as there are advantages, disadvantages to the efficiency of controlling the rate of reactions, which in some cases can be fatal to our scientific development and progression. The growth of humankind necessitates that we must be able to control the rate of chemical reactions.
At some point in our lives we all experience suffering. Whether it’s pain caused by an emotionally abusive partner, a narcissistic mother, a neglectful guardian, mental illness, the pain of a separation, or physical ailments; all of us at some point in time will be scarred by the act of living. When we’re faced with these challenges often the pain can feel like it’s too much to bear. We wonder if we’ll ever be whole, if the pain will ever subside, or if we can continue to live at all. It’s difficult to see the big picture when you’re so close to the canvas. However, after some time has passed, or some distance has been placed between yourself and the source of pain, most of us find that life indeed does go on: We can feel whole again, the pain becomes less intrusive. What we also find is that all the pain and suffering may have been “a gift.” Even a lingering state of morose can be “a gift.”
An idea that has both perplexed and intrigued me is the concept of how science, in my case chemistry and physics, directly impacts every single part of the world. I have always been puzzled by the secrets of what the world is composed of and how exactly everything works in the world. However, it wasn’t until recently in high school that I began to grasp the basic fundamentals of how the world actually does operate.
Chemistry is well known as the ‘central science’ due to its relevance and importance within other fields of science. After studying chemistry, biology, physics and politics in year 12 chemistry emerged as particularly fascinating to me; providing understanding of the circumstances and relevance of quantum theory beyond the purely theoretical approach taught in physics and the chemical reasons why many biological processes happen.
A question I started to ask myself when my happiness started to sink. I wondered “how will I ever escape the labyrinth of suffering? Why am I here again? Will I ever truly be happy? Why am I like this? I’m a monster, I’m a narcissistic bitch, I’m a whore, I’m ugly, I’m problematic, I’m ignorant, I’m boring, I’m a burden to people’s life, I’m a waste of space.” I started to slowly see everything fade; turn from beautiful colors to boring black and white. I needed someone. I felt like I messed up my relationship with everyone. I felt like they were all judging me, it was easy
