alchemy

I don't know much chemistry or physics but it seems to me like naturehacker is mixing up the two to come up with MOVI fusion http://www.naturehackerproducts.com/?m=1 He also has some videos on the subject of turning iron into gold on his YouTube channel and claims to be an expert in chemistry...

OK, I've been lurking for a while, and randi.org seems like the perfect place to pose this topic for consideration. The first part's not exactly woo, since it's an argument that's been made numerous times by scholars since the 1950s, and had the endorsement of Joseph Campbell and Huston Smith...

Anyone have a reccomendation on materials regarding Alchemy? A friend of mine asked me to find documenteries regarding Alchemy. Of course I know when he talks about "documenteries" he includes "what the bleep do we know" :rolleyes: But I figured I might suggest some stuff for him anyway and...

Gold obtained by mining has copper and silver impurities. Gold of higher purity can be made through the photoneutron process:[citation needed] Mercury 198 + 6.8MeV gamma ray --> 1 neutron + Mercury 197 (half-life 2.7 days --> Gold 197 + 1 positron) Sorry I can’t post the link, I’m new...

A rather odd women asked me to post a pamphlet on our community notice board about this chap http://www.michaelalchemy.com/default.asp who is coming on Wednesday night to give a four hour talk along with his accomplice who is "a government accredited teacher of the health science of the future"...

There is a small conference and function room near to where I live that I occasionally wander past. Functions held there vary from poker games to wedding receptions to... absolute empowerment of psychic children and medical intuition? Wait, what was that last one? On my most recent walk past...

According to Neil Gaiman's blog there will be an International Alchemy Conference this year in Las Vegas. http://www.alchemyconference.com [page has music] (since I'm under 15 posts and a newbie on these forums I'll just give you an easy way to make it work). I did a search for alchemy but...

I have very little time these days - I'm moving house, and I have urgent deadlines all around me like little mines; and I needed a break. So, I levitated a small square of stuff. I'm just boggled by this; real, proper levitation, stable at room temperature, and the small square of stuff will...

If anyone would know this it's you guys so: Just curious -- seems I read somewhere, years ago, that Isaac Newton (in an apparant fit of dottiness?) got into the occult or somesuch for a period of his life. True or apocryphal? Don't have a good reference handy so I'm asking here. Of course I...

Am I off by asking if transmuting lead into gold counts as paranormal? Everyone else is like "look at me I can read your mind", but what about alchemy? Just asking cause it doesn't seem paranormal just impossible. If does apply I'll do it. No really...how many people say that?

Hello there, I am dedicating this topic to anybody that has been humiliated or harrased by the James Randi Foundation, I have contacted the foundation according to the website with a few questions, Some couldnt be answerd, some could, some ridiculed. I called up randi and asked him a few...

as an alternative theory to chemistry? I mean, we all know that Evolution is just another theory, and that Intelligent Design is just as valid. Perhaps other theories that the dogmatic "scientists" call "scientific" should be challenged as well. I don't want to overturn science, I just want a...
