Marcellin Berthelot
Pierre Eugène Marcellin Berthelot is a French chemist and politician known for the Thomsen-Berthelot thermochemical principle. He synthesized many organic compounds from inorganic substances, providing a lot of evidence that contradicts Jöns Jakob Berzelius's theory that organic compounds require organisms in their synthesis. Berthelot believes that chemical synthesis will revolutionize the food industry by 2000 and that synthetic food will replace farms and pastures. "Why not," he asked, "what if it turns out it's cheaper and better to make the same materials than grow them?" He is considered "one of the most famous chemists in the world". After being appointed to the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs in the French government in 1895, he is considered the "most eminent chemist alive" in France. In 1901, he was elected among the "Forty Immortals" of the French Academy. He devoted all of his discoveries not only to the French government but to humanity.
