One hears about the iron age and the bronze age—eras in which people discovered metallurgy. But how did that happen? Was it like:
1. Look at rock
2. See shiny
3. Try to melt the shiny out of the rock
4. Profit?
Explain it to me!
In: 1643
I’m not sure how the discovery have been made in the very beginning (probably by chance when some ore accidently get into fire), but chemist in 17 century and later acted literally like that – they tried to melt *everything* and later they tried to pass electric current through *everything* and see what would come out of that.
Trials and errors, trials and errors.
