Chemical equilibrium happens when the rate of the formation of a molecule is equal to the rate of decomposition of that molecule.

David Chako your thoughts? =)
Can't agree with the intro re Haber process being most important chemical reaction ... the rest of the presentation is decent if shallow. I am not generally a fan of TED talks, they tend to be glossy and grind axes that I don't care to sharpen ... this one is at least relatively subtle in doing so, beyond the intro red herring glorifying the Haber process (trust me, if not for that process, humans would have found another means to fertilize).
