Alchemy

[drakenjecht]

since no has mentioned this, this is the original characteristic set used in alchemy from the book "Mutus Liber" published in france in the late 1700's, even though these symbols are also used for astrology

which means alchemy is also has a connection to astrology, so the big bang could be made using a alchemic equation or am i just rambling on

I didn't know Astrology was connected to the Big Bang o.o
I thought it was just the science of different gravities of heavenly bodies and their effects upon us, the human species.

A very small tie to astronomy, yes. But not as big as you'd think judging from the symbols, though. The symbols were just...a code, they weren't even really uniform, often enough anyway, but they were based loosely on the planets and things of that nature.

Besides being a scientist premier intellect of his time 1643-1727 ' Last of the Magi' was also a 'card carrying' 'Alchemist' who practiced the 'dark arts' even while teaching at Cambridge. Credited with breakthroughs in mathematics, physics, astronomy, philoshophy etc. remember to blame this man for developing 'Calculus' while doing a 'all nighter'. None of the above accomplishments can be attributed to Alchemy but it is interesting to note that Alchemys most mysterious figure also did 'real science'.

Sorry.
Wait...I remember someone ealier asked me what the difference was between chemists and alchemists, and I kinda just told what the alchemists wanted...not really to answer questions except how to obtain gold. Chemists ask questions such as what happens when iron rusts?, why iron rusts but tin does not?, what happens when food is digested?, why a solution of salt conducts electricity but a solution of sugar does not?, and why some chemical changes proceed rapidly while others are slow? The alchemists weren't as obsessed with questions as their chemist counterparts. I mean, Thales of Miletus was really a philosopher, but he mainly had just that one question for which sparked a lot of this with many of the later philosophists.
