I choose to study chemistry because I realized this is the subject where I will learn the most about how everything works. Of course, when I read that things like quantum description of the world cannot be understood, I had to give it a try… I now realize it is all about modelling reality, not experiencing or understanding reality itself. Medicinal chemistry is a striking example where it all comes down to having good enough models.
