Unfortunately, none of these efforts produced true alchemy. It turns out that base metals can't be magically or chemically transformed into gold. Today, it is possible to “create” gold using particle accelerators, but the amounts created are minuscule and not worth the Herculean efforts involved.
Is it possible to do alchemy?
One goal of alchemy, the transmutation of base substances into gold, is now known to be impossible by chemical means but possible by physical means. Although not financially worthwhile, Gold was synthesized in particle accelerators as early as 1941.
It is impossible to pursue traditional alchemy, as science has proven that this type of magic is not real. However, learning how to become a modern day alchemist can help you attain success and feel more satisfied with your own life.
