Dr. Walker explains how fundamental physical sciences, like chemistry and physics, are often limited to Earth's "normal" conditions of temperature, pressure, and gravity. As civilization prepares for space, this terrestrial focus is no longer adequate.

Dr. Martin Walker, Professor and Chair of Chemistry at SUNY Potsdam, delivered this talk at an independently organized TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
