       @gutenberg_org #Chemistry is the ‘central science’, and there is not a chemical concept older or more important that the atom. Yet when R. F. W. Bader and his research group at #McMaster University in #Canada developed the #Quantum Theory of Atoms *IN* Molecules, within which atoms ⚛️ have well-defined ‘zero-flux’ edges, it was, and still is, rejected by most of the #science community. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/anie.201201794
