reviewed Hydrogen: The Essential Element on October 18, 2020
Hydrogen
My curiosity of the role that hydrogen play it in our human physiology got me reading about the heroin of the most dramatic discoveries of the universe, from the exact number of the hydrogen since the big bang, to the atmic models, to the discovery of the electron, thr positron and much more.
This book consider a great deal of the historical background overviewed chapter hy chaprt, about the evloation and the discoveries which are related to the hydrogen. Great masure of the book was simplifying, without great deals of technical details about further complecated stuff related to the quanm physics, and number of mathematical equations.
