I mean Newton thought alchemy was a real science. Apparently he wrote over a million words spread out over years on alchemy and conducted countless experiments, these papers were only found after his death.

This person seems like an ass. Science is only when you publish peer reviewed papers. Ok so youâre telling me Archimedes and Eratosthenes and al-Kwharzimi and Newton and everyone who figured shit out before the modern system of academia wasnât doing science? This is not a defense of melon-musk, to be clear. He should have his wealth confiscated and his companies nationalized at the minimum.

I mean, alchemy did kind of hold all the cards regarding substances and their interactions prior to the development of modern chemistry.
