What debt does modern science owe to alchemy?
 
Is it possible to turn lead into gold? Can a base metal be turned into a precious metal? Modern science says, "No," but it may own a debt of gratitude to the discipline that attempted these feats, alchemy.

Alchemy blends magic and science in an attempt to perform impossible tasks. This experimentation laid the groundwork for many fields of modern science. Journey back to Ancient Egypt as historians discuss alchemy´s beginnings. What other transformations has this science attempted? Were there any successes? What was learned from the failures? Discover how Aristotle laid philosophical foundation for generations of alchemists to come. Revisit alchemy´s richest time in the Middle Ages and learn about some of the incredible lengths alchemists went to in pursuit of their goals.

Part science, part magic, part superstition, alchemy may not have made any fantastic changes to the world as we know it, but it may have influenced it for more than we think. Take a closer look in ALCHEMY: THE SCIENCE OF MAGIC.
