Alchemy...is transmutation possible?

Question

I am trying to use a transmutation circle. Is this possible? What some good pics of some transmutation circles?

Answer 1

First off the tranmutation circles are only for showing how to break something down then reform it. The old alchemists had to find a way to conceale their knoledge. Only people that have learned how to decifer then can read them. If u have any further Questions and this applies to anyone just e-mail me at [e-mail]

Answer 2

Ironically yes, it is not only possible but done every day.

First, forget about those damn circles, or spices and chemicals, and spells. Those were invented for show to make the real crap look cool.

Ok, the basic principal of alchemy is that every is made of elements. In alchemy's prime, these elements were believed to be Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. But know we know better. We know what the real elements are like Hydrogen and Helium. But more importantly Gold and Iron. In reality the only difference between a gold atom and an iron atom is one proton in the nucleus.

Through a process named after alchemy called transmutation, a scientist in a lab using a partical accelerator can add an extra proton to iron which turns it into a gold atom.

This of course is the rub......partical accelerators are VERY large. I mean New York City large. Only a couple of them exist and they are not used to make gold. They are used to discover new elements and test theoretical physics.

Plus, it costs more to buy all your iron, run it through this giant machine and collect all the atoms together than what the gold produced it worth. So noone does it. Sorry if this is a disappointment. So yes it is possible, but noone will do it to get rich.

Answer 3

Technically transmutation is plausible, however, the energies and technologies to do so do not currently exist. Essentially transmutation of a material consists of removing some part of an elemental atom so that it becomes another elemental atom. A good example is the old Lead to Gold trick in which lead would BECOME gold if 6 protons were removed from its structure. See these two links for the applicable atomic information:
Lead: http://education.jlab.org/itselemental/ele082.html
Gold: http://education.jlab.org/itselemental/ele079.html
A good example of a transmutation process that actually exists in nature occurs in our Sun. As the energies from plasmatic hydrogen in the sun are released into space, the atoms fuse together to form the next highest elemental creation (in this instance 2H -> 1He. This reaction continues over millions (and billions) of years until (it is believed) a core of carbon atoms are formed at the Suns center. This is really fusion and the reverse of transmutation, but gives you an idea of the forces required to change an atom in this manner.

Answer 4

First have you studied the first rules and the second and the third. College libraries hold lots of books on this stuff. Not only that I think it was rules 235 that listened the steps of the circle. The only reason I know is because I've looked it up in over a million places. It's way harder to do the to plan. Make sure you have the steps down before actually doing anything for your own safety you don't want to look like ed of full metal do you? Make sure all your lines are right and your circle is a full 360 degrees. Just a few tips.

Answer 5

Surely you are trying to pull our cyber-legs.

So, in return, I offer this advice:

The transmutation circle is old school and it was shown years ago, by the Alchemist Verin Nulo of Italy, that the transmutation elipse is much more efficient.

Answer 6

Transmutation is possible, but you need an atom-smasher to do it. Forget about the alchemy; that's nonsense.

Answer 7

no it is not possible. The goal for any alchemist is to make the philosopher's ston. A stone that can make miracles
And by the way, alchemy is just a foundation of early chemistry

Answer 8

This is Earth Operator calling. Would you like to take a call from Planet Earth. long distance?

Answer 9

I think that Newton would have used weighted,tethered,spheres dropped over the side of the boat,volcanic gas,brewers gas for cooling the king's wine etc.

Answer 10

yes,it is possible because look at your world,everything we take for granted for everyday life is there.without it we still be living in caves.
