Luna Lovegood Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Google the history of the word 'Chemistry'. Its french and racist, as it was changed to be mean to Arabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raelen Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Chemistry is the term used today and no longer has any racist connections in this day and age.Alchemy is a term for the belief that ordinary elements could be changed to gold. Either change the topic to chemistry or go back to the middle ages from whence you came. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Welche Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 In fact, Alchemy is not a science due to the fact that its main belief is that one element can be changed into another. This stops it from being a science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope' date=' I'm gonna be politically correct[/quote'] No, you're not. Stop being stupid. And to get back to the actual topic, I'm taking a chemistry course at my college. Got a B the first quarter, hoping to get an A this quarter. I had a horrible chemistry teacher during high school (if you could even call her a teacher), so I feel I'm doing quite well, all things considered.

It carries no negative connotations in this day and age. Many words lose their connotation in todays society. Unfortunately, we start to use some words like retarded negatively, instead of its proper use meaning that a person is mentally late in aging.

Guest Welche Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Wait, I just remembered that the concept of alchemy is possible. By shoving protons into lead it changes the lead into new substances. If enough protons are shoved in then the lead will become gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to somehow extract protons for it to work. It is theoretically possible if you can induce the correct type of radioactive decay - alpha emission, positron emission, and electron capture will all reduce the number of protons in the nucleus - but it certainly isn't efficient.
