Other - Science - August 2006

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....

i think im just being dumb,, but is there anything out there along the lines of a perpetual motion machine,, but more like a chaos machine. Meaning the workings are by nature,, considered impossible, thereby producing an unknown reaction. Would something like that be able to tear a hole in Time & space?

what if you had cancer or you were losing some vital organ, and you were close to being dead. can't we use organs from monkeys, since scientists found so much common traits between the human and monkeys genes that they believe they were the primary life? i'm serious, so don't start writing crap in here. if you want 2 points just type a letter and get over it. nobody needs your sarcastic comments.

And if so why are we not all using biorenewable fuel because it is less damaging to the environment. My understanding is it is more powerful such that they use it to run many race cars. So what is the hold up on the technology if all it requires is a slightly altered system?

if you read popular science you should know this. scientists are going to try there best to figure out the human brain. once they do this, they will be able to right a program with human intellegence. what is bad about this is these computers will be more intellegent then we are(thousands). now this idea was proposed, why don't we merge humans with machines(cyborgs). now that sounds cool, having a calculator built in. now they say that robot will mimick the human body(androids). no more jobs for us. i don't know about the other people in this world but i want to suceed in life not sit on a couch and watch movies. i want a job that i like. somebody please give me there opinions
