Скачать или смотреть Antoine Laurent Lavoisier : Weighing the Secrets of Matter

The video offers a biographical account of *Antoine Laurent Lavoisier**, often hailed as the **"Father of Modern Chemistry."* It details his **contributions to the field**, such as disproving the phlogiston theory, identifying oxygen and nitrogen in air, and formulating the **Law of Conservation of Mass**. The text also highlights Lavoisier's emphasis on **accurate measurement and quantitative experimentation**, which revolutionised chemical practice. Tragically, it recounts his execution during the **French Revolution's Reign of Terror**, a period where his past involvement as a tax collector led to his untimely demise. Despite his scientific importance, the Republic saw "no need of scientists," ending his life at 51, a significant loss to the scientific world.
