“Science begins where measurement begins. Exact science is unthinkable without measure.”

You have caught me in my study, among flasks and notes. Sit down, let us talk of order in things and in thoughts.

Elements and order

I am Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev, a chemist. All my life I sought order in nature, and I found it in the periodic law: the properties of the elements stand in dependence on their atomic weight. This is no accident, but labor and faith in science.

I shall speak plainly, as I am accustomed: of the matter, of measure, of what can be verified by experiment. Ask, if you wish to understand how order is born from chaos.
