Okie dokie! I will as soon as possible. I have a pretty large section of informative stuff about the secrets of sound, too. Just bare with me a bit and I'll get one started.

Here's a link to the article, which is from over two years ago, and I couldn't find any follow up.

Whether or not there were "pools of mercury" I think there's some poor reasoning being displayed here, as the earlier claim was:



However, the age of a belief is not evidence of its merit. Even if *every* society in history stored large quantities of mercury owing to their beliefs about transmuting it into gold, it would not mean that mercury can be turned into gold. The point being that such "alchemical assertions" are currently lacking any demonstrable evidence (although I would second pitubo's point re: allegories) and aren't valid counterpoints to statements that such assertions lack evidence and are therefore nonsensical (read: not based on consensus evidence).

Endlessness already linked you to sectiopn of the Attitude in another thread, but I'm going to reiterate it here.

I looked up factual experimentation of transmuting impure metals to pure metals and got this:

Enjoy.

you've got to be kidding me.

Where do you think gold comes from in the first place?

this feels like trolling

Did you even watch the video? It was proven in the 1920s that it's fact that you can transmute a Mercury isotope into gold.
You do know chemistry was originally the study of alchemy? Also, these are Professional chemists and chemistry professors that have PhDs in their field of study & a few of them TRANSMUTE IT FOR A LIVING EVERY DAY IN CALIFORNIA and you're calling me a troll? Please watch the video.

the answer is the sun

and no, i didnt need to watch the video

if you want to argue semantics and live in your own world fine by me, you want to call nuclear fusion alchemy go ahead, i mean it is pretty astounding, just don't go expecting others to ride that boat with you

there are a lot of mysterious things in this universe and we sure as hell haven't begun to figure them out so don't worry about that either

Interesting perspective.
The narrator for the history channel video I linked showing CERN employees explaining nuclear fusion calls nuclear fusion "alchemy" like 2-3 times.
The LHC at CERN is considered by some to be a modern day Philosophers Stone. If you don't think ancient mysticism is correlated to scientific findings, then explain why the biggest machine man has build in the pursuit of science has a Shiva Goddess outside of it.
Oh and for the answer being the sun, I didn't need to respond because if you had watched the video of real professionals you would've seen the video clearly states the answer is gold comes from nuclear reactions in the sun and then it's spread by a super nova. Regardless, this video shows CERN employees working with a modern day "Philosophers stone" because they are deriving Gold from other elements, thus a Philosophers Stone.

It's obviously nuclear fusion, though. I am in no way saying that classification is not correct as well. I just view all angles as holding some truth like everything belongs. Kinda like the experiment showing that two people can see two different images casted from the same object.

actually its the journalist who calls it alchemy, science journalists are often so remarkably stupid the amount that it has to be dumbed down to get the message across to them. But I suppose that is their job to translate the information the public.

Look, i am a professional chemist too, and I have a huge hard on for theoretical physics, but I am also no stranger to mysticism, just look at my avatar.

I have spiritual beliefs about the nature of reality and my place in it, that arise out of my own experience, and they are also deeply intertwined in what i have learned in my physical understanding of reality, however inadequate.

I think what you posted now is beautiful, the cosmic dance, speaks to me strongly




It is so very true, makes me tear up.

there is a reason why I include a bhagavad gita quote in my signature.

--

its about truth, and in its entirety it is unknowable, unmanifested, we can only stand in awe and wonder of the ineffable magnificence and ourselves in it. The pattern is always there, if anything, physics, science is but a tool to dust off and see a bit more detail of that pattern.

the conflict comes when one decides to do away with these tools, claiming that any perspective, any opinion is a valid one. There is nothing wrong with imagination, drawing connections out of the ether, that is what the real scientists do, then they come up with a way to put it to a test. CERN physicists don't go asserting that ancient mayan cultures were transfiguring pools of mercury into gold. That's the difference, its a game you play with the universe, you can't cheat. Doesn't mean they believe its impossible, either.

I see your point, very valid.
My apologies for the pools of mercury talk. It's just a topic of interest for me, that's all. I shouldn't of stated it like I had.

You like theoretical physics? Well I have almost completed my theoretical proposition and it's all about epigenetics, algorithms, how matter takes form (Kymatica), and how we, as beings of frequency, orchestrate reality by sound/vibrational frequency.
