Uhm. This is chemistry. Not alchemy.
Just like planes fly, they don’t levitate.
Pretending that science is magic is what little kids do. I’m assuming you are an adult of course, but misrepresenting simple natural reactions as alchemy, and ignoring that we already understand this stuff well enough to distinguish it from what is traditionally considered alchemy/magic seems absurd. What is this need to pretend that magic is real? What an odd way to use an imagination.

"It is not rational to assume, without evidence, that rationality can disclose everything about the world, just because it can disclose some things. Our intuition in favour of rationality, where we are inclined to use it, is just that - an intuition. Reason is founded in intuition and ends in intuition, like a pair of massive bookends."

Its pretty amazing that the original poster could write "I have no facts", and yet still receive so many stars. Doesn't seem very rational.
