    Physicists will say that, but does that mean that they’ll just be able to magically derive advanced ochem?

    It’s like they have already memorized the exact state of the entire universe and just figure it out from there.

      i was referencing this xkcd, lol

      even then though, sure, high explosives are chemistry, but physics makes the difference between having high explosives at home vs having them where your enemy is

        Lol I get ya. You just gave me some flashbacks on working together on something photochemistry related with people from the physics faculty at my uni. They never took “it won’t work like that” for an answer lol. Good times though.
