Imagine being able to count electrons – those tiny, invisible particles no one has ever seen. They are so small that we can’t even picture them, let alone count them. But if we know the charge each one carries...
An engineer, a mathematician, and a physicist were asked to name the greatest invention of all times.
The engineer chose fire, which gave humanity power over matter.
The mathematician chose the wheel, which gave humanity the power over space.
The physicist mystic...
Political parties can be explained using chemistry. Here’s how:
Political parties are the basic building blocks of the political scene, just as atoms are the basic building blocks of matter.
Every party strives for stability and for filling its membership ranks,...
