A Modern form of Alchemy

Good day dear community, I hope you are all doing well and your day is full of different interesting experiences! In this article I would like to go into alchemy and hope you are able to expand your knowledge.

As an old branch of natural philosophy, alchemy has been concerned from the beginning with methods that should complete the work of nature, and the alchemists regarded creation as the work of nature and their work was to find ways to complete this work or to find ways to perfect things. In the beginning, alchemy was still very much shaped by mysticism and in the course of the centuries it developed more and more into an own science from which later also chemistry and pharmacy developed, but alchemy continued to exist and it was about finding answers to supernatural phenomena and in the course of this many technologies were developed to be able to research things better. It was the time between the 17th and 18th century when alchemy changed and chemistry arose from it and during this time the alchemists were already researching a lot of technologies like magnetism, levitation and other things and they began more and more to adapt to certain things and using these for healing purposes and thus a new form of alchemy was also born and a well-known figure from this time was the Austrian Franz Anton Mesmer (1734 - 1815) who built a machine with which he healed people with the help of magnets. The invention of other technologies such as plasma, infrared, laser, nanotechnology, nuclear reaction or the use of certain frequencies for healing purposes can also be counted in this category and well-known examples that were active in this field and laid a milestone for the development of certain technologies was Nikola Tesla (1856 - 1943) or Royal Raymond Rife (1888 - 1971) who was known for having used high-frequency technology for medical purposes and he also built so-called Rife machines which were operated with electrical stimulation and used certain frequencies to kill bacteria or cure diseases and a woman who further revolutionized his works was Hulda Clark (1928 - 2009). Even when it comes to certain phenomena such as psychic abilities, a lot of research has been carried out and research has been made to find causes and to create them artificially and even when it comes to the artificial production of gold, modern alchemy comes to some interesting results in the nuclear field and also the research of possibilities to the extension of life are part of modern alchemists. Through the irradiation of platinum or mercury in a nuclear reactor, it is possible to produce gold artificially and scientists have also been able to make interesting results when it comes to research with the mineral bismuth and even if these processes are complex, it is possible to create gold artificially and certain technologies such as Bitcoin also have some parallels to alchemy.

Thanks a lot for the visit and I hope you could learn something new about alchemy! I captured these pictures with my Camera Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm lens.
