everething is made of atoms take a look at an element chart you will see they are both almost the same thing

I know that,but lead is not an atom.
I wrote the name wrong its not Paracelus its Paracelsus.

led is made of atoms!!!!!!!! GET THAT IN YOUR HEAD AND ITS atomic number is one under gold that makes them very close

Dude.Calm down.
I know its made of atoms.
And I know its one of a few elements that closes itself to the atomic bond of gold.

ok you lost me where did atomic bonds come from? thats out of the blue

Dr.Ni Jianyi · Post by **Dr.Ni Jianyi** » May 30, 2005 5:44pm

The atomic bond is when atoms gather to make an element.

first your wrong( well partoly correct) and second we were not talking about atomic bonds

And, the point of this debate is? I truly don't see how this connects to the discussion about the Philosipher's Stone.

we are talking about the relation between gold and led which ir related.

Dr.Ni Jianyi · Post by **Dr.Ni Jianyi** » May 30, 2005 6:15pm

whats atomic bond then??

phantom · Post by **phantom** » May 30, 2005 6:17pm

the bond between 2 or more diffrent atoms

Dr.Ni Jianyi · Post by **Dr.Ni Jianyi** » May 30, 2005 6:41pm

Your right.
Its two or more than two atoms that gather up to make an element

Hey, I was just researching alchemy yesterday (wikipedia), along with other things related to the 1988 novel _Foucault's Pendulum_ by Umberto Eco. (I'm in the middle of it.) I've also been watching Fullmetal Alchemist eps, obviously so it was very interesting to find that Paracelsus, mentioned above, was also named Hohenheim (sound familiar?) and he believed in alchemy as a science and not a religious pastime. The guy that some believe found the elixir of life and his grave is empty is Nicholas Flamel, who believed in alchemy as a form of magic. Some may remember him being mentioned in _Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone_. Popular guy! Flamel's grave has a serpent cross symbol (along with other emblems), which is the symbol you see on Edward's shoulder (and somewhere on Alphonse too, but I can't remember where at the moment). Interesting, huh?

wow very interesting NoMatter I see you've done your research well.

maybe I too should start researching Alchemy.

It's interesting that a lot of the people we consider as building the foundations of modern scientific thought are people who dabbled a lot in alchemy. Isaac Newton, for one, spent way more time on alchemic research than anything else he did. It's interesting to think of how scientific and religious thought (since alchemy was a spiritual thing for some, as it was born of the church) have changed over time.
