Abstract

Joseph Achille Le Bel is an example of scientists like Réaumur who researched in many subjects but is remembered by only one. Le Bel is a well-known name to students of Chemistry in general, and stereochemistry in particular. He left us with basic principles that determine the geometrical conditions that must be satisfied by a carbon compound in order to have optical activity. In addition, he developed an unusual theory regarding the origin of the
Universe.
