The history of chemistry is ancient, starting from 1000 BC to the present day. Chemistry has evolved drastically over the centuries. the first civilization to master chemistry was that of the Egyptians and Babylonians who founded practical knowledge regarding the art of metallurgy, ceramics and dyes, but did not develop a systematic theory. In this period of time many civilizations tried to understand the life of chemistry and how it worked. A basic chemical hypothesis first emerged in classical Greece with Aristotle's theory of the four elements in 300 BC where fire, air, earth and water were the fundamental elements from which everything is formed as a combination. Greek atomism dates back to 440 BC in works by philosophers such as Democritus and Epicurus. Unlike modern scientific concepts, Greek atomism was basically only philosophical in nature, with little concern for empirical observations and no concern for chemical experiments. In 1700 BC, with the backdrop of King Hammurabi's reign over Babylon, several metals were found at the site. In 430 BC Democritus of ancient Greece and a man called Democritus proclaimed that the atom was the simplest unit of matter since all matter was composed of atoms. All the discoveries that were made in this period still represent the foundation of chemistry. There are many obstacles and flaws in the chemical business as in the difficult times for the gold industries, from the 13th to the 15th century. Even though Pope John XXII issued an edict against gold production, the gold trade continued. Despite the efforts of alchemists, the transmutation of cheap metals into gold never occurred in this time period. Over the years, as the chemistry has evolved into everyday use in life, ... middle of paper ... like heroin, marijuana etc. in the hands of people who profit from the life of chemistry and drastically put the future at risk. Another example is that of preservatives. These preservatives help prevent our food from going bad but at the same time they cause many diseases. In your opinion, what impact will your technology have on the future? Personally I think it will have an equally good and bad future. I think this because there are many things that can go wrong with how advanced our future will be by technology and what our world is like today. Once again it can be positive because how advanced our future will be, “bad” things could not happen. I'm excited to see what the future looks like and anxious to see if it will be good or bad. All in all we would be stuck in the past without chemistry and wouldn't be even close to where we are now.
