Let' s put chemistry into perspective and see where it fits in the grander scheme of things. We think the graphic is pretty self-explanatory but don't dwell on it too much. Think about it. A chemist is just about the only scientist who can easily make the intellectual leap into another discipline. She can pick up a physics paper and have a solid idea of what it is about.
Chemistry gives unparalleled reasoning to one's mind and a working model of the world.
It gives a quali-quantitative gut feeling about everything. A chemist can figure out how a certain system will behave under any producable conditions. You see the complexity, the harmony, the grace of it all. Such is the beauty of chemistry. If these words seem dry and common to you, then you haven't given any real content to chemistry.
