Lacking chemistry?

Good morning! Yesterday was perhaps the toughest Tightrope secret theme we've ever had: the birth of Antoine Lavoisier. Who's he? The "father of modern chemistry," who also proved that matter can neither be created nor destroyed in chemical reactions.Proving that Tightrope secret themes can also not be destroyed are our two correct repliers: Deb S. in Deerfield Beach, FL and Bob Matson in East Lansing, MI. Thanks to everyone who wrote in!
