How Do You Know?
Richard M. Colgate Professor of Chemistry
This inaugural lecture for Yale's Freshman Organic Chemistry critically examines the question "How do you know?" by contrasting divine and human authority with experiment and logic, referencing Francis Bacon's Instauration and Isaac Newton's crucial experiments on light. It introduces foundational concepts of chemical bonding and Hooke's Law.
