Can someone explain me the concept of the “alchemy” subject?
In: 8
Alchemy was essentially proto-chemistry. It was about changing materials into other materials by doing things to them.
Usually, that meant mixing reactants and reagents and boiling and separating.
As it became more scientific and refined, it became chemistry as we know it.
Before that, it was a very bizarre collection of scientific ideas and *totally non-scientific* speculations.
