It seems that the validity of this statement is confirmed by the experience of our whole life. However, as the humankind was acquiring technological skills (starting from the methods of producing fire in the primeval times), facts proving that chemical reactions could take place in solids under mechanical or other impacts were also being accumulated. Still, mechanochemistry as a science was not born until the second half of the last century.
