Interesting.

 

I think these guys knew things about the world that was so far beyond their comprehension it was indistinguishable from magic.

Isaac Newton is the biggest scientific mind of all time and he studied alchemy. He created calculus because he needed it and it didn't exist. You think he didn't know what he was doing?

I think he realized how much he did not know.

He knew how much his contemporaries didn't know.

Newton devoted a significant portion of his life to alchemy. He diligently studied alchemical texts, conducted laboratory experiments, and even wrote his own treatises on alchemy. This and much more interesting information I read on the https://essays.edubirdie.com/science-help website, claiming that alchemy was not a waste of time for Newton.

It helped him become one of the greatest scientific minds of all time.

Wow, I never would have guessed.
