Transmutation of metals

Alchemy itself is mostly an original concept and science practiced by the ancient Egyptians. However the concepts of more easily transmutating one metal into a more precious one (silver or Gold) and ensuring youthful health apparently originated in China and from the theories of the 8th century alchemist, Jabir ibn Hayyan, latinized as `Geber'. He analyzed each Aristotelian element in terms of the four basic qualities of hotness, coldness, dryness, and moistness. Fire was both hot and dry, earth cold and dry, water cold and moist, and air hot and moist. He further theorized that every metal was a combination of these four principles, two of them interior and two exterior.

From this premise, it was reasoned that the transmutation of one metal into another could be effected by the rearrangement of its basic qualities. This change would presumably be mediated by a substance, which came to be called al-iksir in Arabic (from which comes the Western term "elixir"). It is often considered to exist as a dry red powder made from a legendary stone — the "philosopher's stone".[citation needed] The stone was believed to have been composed of a substance called carmot.

Jabir's theory and the concept of the philosopher's stone may have been inspired by the knowledge that metals like gold and silver could be hidden in alloys and ores, from which they could be recovered by the appropriate chemical treatment. Jabir himself is believed to be the inventor of aqua regia, a mixture of muriatic (hydrochloric) and nitric acids, one of the few substances that can dissolve gold (and which is still often used for gold recovery and purification).

I knew lastnight that today would go badly,I walked to go see a very good friend today and was instantly drained of energy when I went out into the sun.

I awoke to see the face of someone passed on longago and now I can't get her out of my head it's like a nightmare but in real life.If I could understand her maybe she will rest as she should have been.
