Troy Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Interesting. I think these guys knew things about the world that was so far beyond their comprehension it was indistinguishable from magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delano Posted March 26 Author Report Share Posted March 26 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
