I was entertained by the anime series of "Full Metal Alchemist." It motivated me to research about their sciences. It is said there that "Alchemy is the science of understanding the composition of matter, decomposing it, and reassembling it to make that matter into another form." But they perform it using transmutation circles. I researched about these transmutation circles, and I have read an article about those circles. It states that all matter have the same properties. So medieval alchemists theorized that base metals can be transmuted into pure gold. I also read about the Philosopher's Stone, Panacea, and Elixir, which they explain that these things are the paraphernalia in transmutation. "Carmot" is the key ingredient in creating the Philosopher's Stone, in which can prolong life and ignore the "Law of Conservation in Alchemy" and the "Principle of Equivalent Trade"...
I hope anyone would explain all of this to me. Because I like Chemistry and I also wanted to revive Alchemy....
