Reine de la mode asked:


Yes, what in your opinion was the turning point in the history of physics-any great invention or discovery? It would be nice if you also provide some information about it along with its name.

Skiier asked:


I’m doing an assignment in which I have to write a paper on a single person in chemistry. I have to think how this person’s contributions to chemistry have affected society. I basically have to include a biography of their life (birth place, schooling), what they did that was so important to chemistry, and explain (to the best of my ability) the chemistry behind their discovery. Who’s a good chemist to write such a paper about?

Thanks.
