Dave and I had been song writers in Nashville, trying to get around, out hustling, trying to meet people. We randomly met Hillary out in town one night. She said she was a singer. I asked her if she would like to write some songs with Dave and me, and a week later she came over. Instantaneously we had this chemistry.

'Dancing in the Dark' is one track. Basically, the song is about connecting with someone mentally, and you're moved so much by the intellect that both of you want to make it physical.

We can track and see the production of single molecules, trace them and see how they assemble into structures.

That's because they came up with an elegant classification—the periodic table of chemical elements. This allowed them to distinguish the basic building blocks. This in turn revealed that a relatively small set of elements can explain the enormously diverse range of substances and chemical properties. This basic strategy of analyzing complex phenomena into simpler elements is part of the "secret sauce" that makes science so powerful.
