Janah Shaya

A chemist on the rise. The past was never short on great chemists, and neither will the future be so, but it is rare that we find one that is as science-oriented as he is charismatic, and Dr Janah Shaya had it all.

John Dalton

He is a very important chemist as he has given the base of the atoms.
—Guest XXX

Albert Einstein

I think Einstein should be among the chemists because of his work in the understand of atoms and their components. He was one of the first to realize that oscillating electrons must gain or lose energy by discrete amounts in order to move up or down to another level or sublevel of the shell, and he was one of the first ones to come up with quantums of energy as well as the first to come up with the theory of energy equals the mass of celeritus squared
