The concept of Alchemy
I've never really understood what it's meant by alchemy. I watch shows which kinda explain it but makes me ask more questions. It's just really confusing
Odd it mentions the philosopher's stone as materia prima
Exactly -- the 'philosopher's stone' would be the means to attain nearly irrational abilities of transmutation.
it's not hard
just rearrange the atoms
Sir Isaaic Newton was an Alchemist lmao
Albert Einstein was a physicist rofl
it's a dead science, that didn't work ^_^d
well, some people like to think it worked, but that was the work of another science like chemistry.
Alchemy was the theory that you could change something into something else if it was the same mass and volume with what you started with.
They thought they came close to creating gold when they made brass, heh heh

Look at that
Actually this one guy that I forgot his name turned Nitrogen atoms into Hydrogen atoms. Alchemy would work, but the outcome wouldn't be worth all the money it went into making it.
If your life had a face, I'd punch it in the dick.
the philosophers stone isn't real, its just a story linked to Alchemy.
It's like a quick cure for cancer: it might be out there, but the outlook is grim
but unlike a quick cure for cancer, not many people are putting heaps of their time and effot, and millions of $ looking for it.
i think Alchemy is a facsinating thing to read about,]
but at our school, you have a choice of Physics, Chemisty or Biology, it's been a good 50, 60 (?) years since Alchemy has been a talk of the town.

Or even longer.
Alchemy nowadays is none of that physical lead-into-gold nonsense. As I understand it, alchemy refers to attaining a higher state of understanding, a philosophical transmutation. The state of gold being enlightenment. They talk about purifying the "spirit" a lot. I've read a book or two on it. Kinda silly if you ask me.
Wait! Are you guys refering to the philosopher's Stone in FMA? Cuz thats just a tv shoe and the only things similar to the show and real alchemy is the words transmutation and alchemy. Real alchemists didn't use some stupid circle, they used machines. And as my brother said, the product would be of far less value as the original materials.
I saw the show so i was trying to learn the truth about it all.
