No science is more at the core of every technology that supports the seven billion people living on the planet today than chemistry. Chemistry is at the base of the foods, medicines, fuels and materials that are the hallmarks of modern life. Core Chemistry presents how each branch of chemistry - physical chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry - evolved from a clear understanding of the principles and laws of chemical interactions. Topics Include:

No science is more at the core of every technology that supports the seven billion people living on the planet today than chemistry. Chemistry is at the base of the foods, medicines, fuels and materials that are the hallmarks of modern life. Core Chemistry presents how each branch of chemistry - physical chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry - evolved from a clear understanding of the principles and laws of chemical interactions. Topics Include:
2 Million B.C. to 1661 - Ancient Chemistry - Chemistry is both science and art. The art began with the first humans and the discovery of fire. It proceeded through metallurgy. Though discovered probably through accident, the discovery of bronze, iron, glass and gunpowder transformed all civilizations they touched. But before civilizations could progress any further toward modern societies they had to understand the atomic nature of matter. This started with Robert Boyle and his denunciation of the medieval alchemist.
1800 - Electrolysis Reveals Water is not Elemental- Since the Greeks’alchemists held the theory that matter was made up of four elements - fire, earth, air and water. But a series of brilliant experiments at the end of the 18th century showed that none of these were elemental. Of particular interest was the separation of water into hydrogen and oxygen gases.
1808 - Atomic Theory of Matter is Announced - The conceptual breakthrough that chemists were looking for was provided by John Dalton when he proposed that matter was made up of tiny elements that he called atoms.
1828 - Organic Chemistry - When it was demonstrated that a special life force, known as 'the vital life force,' was not part of organic material, it opened the door for a whole new branch of chemistry - organic chemistry. This section defines organic chemistry and shows how the discovery of polymers, which led to the world of plastics, and bioengineering.
1869 - The First Periodic Table - The greatest discovery in all of chemistry was Mendeleev's period table of the elements. This section shows in clear detail how the over 100 elements are arranged into predictable groups which for the basis of all chemical interactions.
1945 to Present - Catalysts and New Chemicals - In order to create the modern world of chemistry we all rely on today, chemists had to overcome the slowness of nature's chemical reactions and interactions. This was accomplished through the discovery of catalysts and biocatalysts, called enzymes. The result was the creation of over a million new chemicals a year in the 21st century.

Core Astronomy examines the key points in the development of astronomy, beginning with Greek astronomer Ptolemy's earth centered paradigm to Nicolaus Copernicus' introduction of a sun centered solar system, and Isaac Newton's three laws of motion. It then examines the discovery of Neptune, Einstein's theories of Special and General Relativity, Hubble's expanding universe, and the discoveries of quasars, white dwarfs, neutron stars, pulsars and black holes, and finally ends with astronomy's modern frontiers - the great attractor, dark matter and life existing on an extrasolar planet.

Not since the discovery of gold in 1848 has the understanding of the world's geology been more important to the welfare of the nation.
Throughout history the rise and fall of civilizations has been propelled by the abundance and scarcity of valued resources. At no time has this been truer than in the 21st century. Whether it is the search for oil or silicon to make microchips or uranium to run power plants, the search is directed by geologists. In Core Geology, the building blocks of this most contemporary science are laid out in a logical order, including the meaning of the fossil record.

Physics is the study of the elemental constituents of the universe. It deals with matter energy, forces, space and time. In the long history of physics, a series of discoveries and laws laid the foundation for how the universe works. In Core Physics these discoveries and laws are laid out in chronological order, each naturally building on the former.

The six alternative energies that will free us from dependence on foreign oil.
The challenge for our future is to make use of alternative sources of energy to replace our dependence on fossil fuels: oil and coal. Right now, such sources are right before us. All we need to do is to scale up what already exists in the laboratory. This program shows how we can do this through technological innovation and will power.
