in real life can alchemy only be used 4 turning stone into gold or can it be used like in Full Metal Alchemist

Question

also/or can you tell me how to BECOME an alchemist?

Answer 1

In real life IF alchemy could be used to turn rock or medal into GOLD, then every one would be an Alchemist.
The truth is that it is a marvelous fable, like Robin Hood, or Atlantis the lost city, or The Holy Grail!
In the 21century, any one can with good grades and the will power go to a private or State University and major in some Chemistry field, this will qualify you to call your self an Alchemist, which is only the mid evil term for Chemist.
I have taken college chemistry courses out of need, I hope if you enjoy chemistry you take them out of want for a better future for you and the people you can potentially help by becoming a chemical engineer or a pharmacist etc.

Answer 2

Alchemy is what chemists used to be called. Alchemists never really turned stone into gold, they used fake rocks called "fools gold". A chemist can theoretically change an element into gold by altering the amount of protons, nuetrons, electrons, and neutrinos. However, the cost of doing that is far far far higher than the worth of the gold produced. Full Metal Alchemist is a great anime, but it's just an anime. It's not real.
