The Origins of Organic Chemistry: How It All Began

  • Resumen

  • Before chemistry was science, it was alchemy. Ancient alchemists searched for the Philosopher’s Stone, trying to turn lead into gold. What they actually discovered was the foundation of modern chemistry. This episode uncovers how chemistry evolved from mystical potions to molecular precision.


    We’ll meet the scientists who shattered myths—like Friedrich Wöhler, who accidentally proved that life’s molecules could be made in a lab, forever changing science. Why do carbon-based molecules rule the universe? What makes organic chemistry so special? And how did a single experiment rewrite the rules of science?


    From medieval potions to modern medicine, this episode takes you through the fascinating, weird, and sometimes messy history of organic chemistry. Buckle up—because the story of carbon is also the story of life itself.
