What is Alchemy?

It is the philosophical and protoscience of transmuting metals into gold.

Has anyone ever been succesful at actually converting a foreign matter into gold?

Perhaps Sir Issac Newton could answer that question. He was probably the most recognized alchemist.

We might never know the answers because most alchemists used signs that were known only to fellow mystics.

Today some of those same secret signs or scribbles are used in writing prescriptions or on certain medication by pharmacists.
