What Is Chemistry? Chemistry is the study of matter and energy and the interactions between them. This is also the definition for physics, by the way. Chemistry and physics are specializations of physical science. Chemistry tends to focus on the properties of substances and the interactions between different types of matter, particularly reactions that involve electrons. Physics tends to focus more on the nuclear part of the atom, as well as the subatomic realm. Really, they are two sides of the same coin.

Chemistry can tell you more often why something is not a reality. What can be pictured in the mind cannot be realized in nature often because of the simple reason that an atom cannot go anywhere it pleases in a structure. For every atom in the universe, there is a time and a place that it can be found, based upon what is nearby and what is far away. This does not extend to the electron, however. The uncertainty principle forbids the exact determination of where and when to find an electron. The more you know about one, the less you know about the other, the where and when.
That is for carbon based life forms, however.

For those of us who are hydrogen centered, the universe is better at obeying the wave function to give the exact position of the electron. In other words, the hydrogen knows. The rest of the elements are physically in the dark as to what is going on. After all, it is the sun that remains the teacher of all things hydrogen. Generating a life expectancy of 10-15 billion years based upon it's reliance upon hydrogen has served it well.

My point is that carbon based life is limited in it's basic ability to function in a theory of everything mathematically. The uncertainty principle is just the clearest indicator that one will not find everything based on carbon. Based on hydrogen, the smallest and simplest of elements, leads to mathematically more interesting places with the wave function.
