Sir Issac Newton thought that a long time ago, humans knew more about alchemy and the natural world then they do today. Over time people forgot, but he thought the alchemical recipies might be contained in myths and legend. One such legend involved Vulcan coming home to find Mars, sleeping with his wife Venus. Vulcan was so angered, he wove a fine metallic net and hung the lovers from the ceiling for all to see. (The reason for this is unclear.) In alchemical terms, Mars, Venus and Vulcan mean copper, iron and fire. Seen this way, the myth became an alchemical recipie. Newton tried this, and was tried recently to confirm the results, and came up with a purple alloy with a net-like texture. This alloy was also belived to be a step towards the Philosopher's Stone. |

Sir Issac Newton's Alchemy Experiments
Sir Issac Newton thought that a long time ago, humans knew more about alchemy and the natural world then they do today. Over time people forgot, but he thought the alchemical recipies might be contained in myths and legend. One such legend involved Vulcan coming home to find Mars, sleeping with his wife Venus. Vulcan was so angered, he wove a fine metallic net and hung the lovers from the ceiling for all to see. (The reason for this is unclear.) In alchemical terms, Mars, Venus and Vulcan mean copper, iron and fire. Seen this way, the myth became an alchemical recipie. Newton tried this, and was tried recently to confirm the results, and came up with a purple alloy with a net-like texture. This alloy was also belived to be a step towards the Philosopher's Stone.
