[MUSIC] Physics might show us the universe’s basic building blocks, and biology lets the universe understand itself, but chemistry is where all the fun happens in between. We have thousands of chemical reactions going on inside us every second, but it’s the ones we’ve mastered with our hands, in labs and workshops and factories and even kitchens, that have made humans what we are today. A few chemical technologies have made such an explosive change in how we live that they have altered the very trajectory of humanity. Here’s 6 chemical reactions that changed history. Fire was our first foray into chemistry, for better and for worse. Whether it’s animal, vegetable or whatever’s in hot pockets, cooking our food makes it easier to digest, we get mo...
