Alchemy

From attempting to transform a lesser metal to gold, to creating an elixir that has been claimed to be able to cure any disease or gives one the gift of eternal life. Ancient sciences and rituals for transmutation, nothing more than the nonsense tales that spout forth from a mad man’s mouth. Whatever am I babbling on about? Why my dear friend, I address the matter of Alchemy!

Alchemy was an early form of science that combined magic, psychology, and science. An antique of science left on the shelves to collect dust. Although it may have gave way to many new discoveries and was very well the base of chemistry, it finds itself shunned by the later generations of scientist as nothing more than mumbo-jumbo, an activity of scam artists

Alchemy had given way to new discoveries, concepts, ideas, and even the creation of a few things. Here’s where I begin to elaborate, where I shall teach and you will learn.

Why don’t we start by discussing alchemy’s discoveries? I suppose I’ll start with “Strong Waters”, or for those of you who are ignorant, corrosive salt waters (Szydlo, Zbigniew, and Richard Brzezinski). In Arab the “Strong Waters” were experimented with and during their trialing, mineral acids were discovered. However, scientist still remain uncertain if Arabian alchemist should even be credited with this breakthrough (Szydlo, Zbigniew, and Richard Brzezinski).

Then there is the discovery of new elements, the transmutation process that was once thought to be impossible, was achieved. Alchemy (the Transmutation process part of it) had been used to discover a few new elements. There was the creation of Trans uranium elements, elements with atomic numbers greater than the atomic number 92 ("Transmutation of Elements" UXL Science). Which, as you well know, do not naturally occur in nature, they must be created ("Transmutation of Elements" UXL Science). It is claimed that scientist have explored every imaginable reaction of transmutation ("Transmutation of Elements" World of Scientific Discovery). A process in which subatomic particles (protons, neutrons and electrons), were used to bombard a single element in hopes of constructing a new and different element in the process ("Transmutation of Elements" World of Scientific
