A break from Chemistry... Do you know any good movies to recommend? I usually do not watch movies so don't worry, it's 80% chance that I haven't seen the one you tell me about xD.

Recently I started watching films and you know, the whole time I've been just coming across some silly, cherfull shallow ones...

Anyway I liked those:
Amélie, Butterfly Effect (the first one), Moulin Rogue, Chicago, Sweeny Tod, Being John Malkovich, V for Vendetta and... uh cannot recall any more. If you know some similar ones (and not only simillar,any artistic and ambitious ones will be OK!)- write a comment! I will be realy grateful ^^.




PL:

Ang o tej godzinie to zly pomysl xD. Ogolnie szukam filmów jakiś ciekawych. Jak znacie to piszcie,bo ja wciaz wpadam tylko na amreykanska chałe.
















NOW, EXPAND YOUR KNOWLEDGE!

Friedrich Wilhelm Ostwald (Latvian: Vilhelms Ostvalds; 2 September 1853 – 4 April 1932) was a Baltic German chemist. He received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1909 for his work on catalysis, chemical equilibria and reaction velocities. Ostwald, Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff, and Svante Arrhenius are usually credited with being the modern founders of the field of physical chemistry.

( Latvian! XD)

Wilhelm Ostwald is usually credited with inventing the Ostwald process (patent 1902), used in the manufacture of nitric acid, although the basic chemistry had been patented some 64 years earlier by Kuhlmann, when it was probably of only academic interest due to the lack of a significant source of ammonia. That may have still been the state of affairs in 1902, although things were due to change dramatically in the second half of the decade as a result of Haber and Bosch's work on their nitrogen fixing process (completed by 1911 or 1913). The date 1908 (six years after the patent) is often given for the invention of the Ostwald process, and it may be that these developments motivated him to do additional work to commercialize the process in that time-frame. Alternatively, six years might simply have been the bureaucratic interval between filing the patent and the time it was granted.

The combination of these two breakthroughs soon led to more economical and larger-scale production of fertilizers and explosives, of which Germany was to find itself in desperate need during World War I. Ostwald also did significant work on dilution theory leading to his discovery of the law of dilution which is named after him. Ostwald's rule concerns the behaviour of polymorphs. The word mole, according to Gorin, was introduced into chemistry around 1900 by Ostwald. Ostwald defined one mole as the molecular weight of a substance in mass grams. The concept was linked to the ideal gas, according to Ostwald. Ironically, Ostwald's development of the mole concept was directly related to his philosophical opposition to the atomic theory, against which he (along with Ernst Mach) was one of the last holdouts. He explained in a conversation with Arnold Sommerfeld that he was converted by Jean Perrin's experiments on Brownian Motion
