The amazing thing called chemistry

Chemistry intrigues me. It's a different matter that it is the recommended medication for insomniacs
.
But it just intrigues me...that how 103 elements make the universe and all come together to run your body. How the whole universe is run by electrons, protons and neutrons.

How just a chemical called adrenalin can make your vision and hearing better, increase your pulse rate and blood pressure, make you alert, make you take better decision and increase your muscular strength!
How the whole life is nothing but just chemicals interacting with each other. How the chemicals in DNA can carry your face and your attitude to your kids.

Here's some amazing facts/things you can use/non sense-
