DA Morgan said: "The reason there isn't much chemistry here is that the uneducated all believe they understand physics."

This is an interesting remark. In my opinion every physicist, at some point in their career, should make a serious effort to prove to him/herself that atoms really exist. Some might be surprised to find out how fundamental and important chemistry really is.

Much of modern physics is about atomic and subatomic "things." From a philosophical point of view it would be good to be talking about something real! This is especially true if one wishes to understand, say, Quantum Chemistry or Chemical Kinetics.

Like Uncle Al says: "Ya gotta know real world stuff." I couldn't put it better!
