Lead[edit]

I noticed that the article does not talk about the beginnings of chemistry and physics, so i think it’d be a nice addition to the article to include some context as to how these sciences grew.

History[edit]

Fragments of chemistry date back to prehistoric times as the existence of elements like fire, water, earth, and air were acknowledged. Through the centuries, several chemists began exploring the make up of all existing entities, discovering new concepts like the atom as well as the atomic theory.[1] Similarly, physics, which can be separated into classical and modern physics, made way over four hundred years ago when the existence of electricity and magnetism were being studied. However, modern physics began in the beginning of the twentieth century with the help of Albert Einstein’s discoveries and theories. [2]
