Reading Traité Élémentaire de Chimie (Elements of Chemistry) | Alexandria
Read Traité Élémentaire de Chimie (Elements of Chemistry) by Antoine Laurent Lavoisier. Shattering medieval mysticism, Lavoisier's revolutionary text transformed alchemy into modern chemistry by proving matter can't be created or destroyed - only changed. This elegant principle reveals a deeper truth: we're all borrowing and recycling the same atoms that once formed stars, dinosaurs, and ancient philosophers.
