Johann Friedrich Böttger Feb 22, 2014

Show notes

Johann Friedrich Böttger is credited with bringing porcelain to Europe. At the time porcelain was as valuable as gold, so no surprise that it took an alchemist to do it.

Marie Curie Feb 18, 2014

Show notes

Marie Curie isn't really an alchemist, but she did show that "transmutation" does happen in nature. Normally this is out of the scope of The History of Alchemy Podcast, but we took the opportunity to compare modern atomic theory to the one of alchemists.

To make up for us going out of scope we tell how to make gold at the end of the episode. No tricks, really turning mercury into gold using modern science!

Paul of Taranto Feb 13, 2014

Show notes

Paul of Taranto may have been one of the the "Pseudo-Gebers" and had an interesting theory of the composition of metals (basically mercury and sulphur) that would become canon to alchemical theory. It's interesting for us to see a monk in the 13th century sitting in a lab going for reproducibility.

Alchemist First: Isaac Newton Feb 01, 2014

Show notes

To see Isaac Newton as just a figure in the Scientific Revolution is not understanding him at all. To get the whole picture of who he was and what he was after one needs to look at Isaac Newton the alchemist.
