The periodic table of elements is one of the most influential concepts in the history of science and the cornerstone of contemporary culture and education. UNESCO declared 2019 the International Year of the Periodic Table of Elements. It's a good excuse to think. What exactly is the periodic table? Where does it end and where does it begin? Can it still change? If we didn't know it, would we have invented it anyway? In the lecture, we will look at these and other questions. We won't completely avoid history, but the core of the lecture will be the PTP today and tomorrow. Prof. RNDr. Petr Slavíček, Ph.D. was born in 1976 in Olomouc.
