Alchemy and the birth of modern science
A colourful tale of some of history’s most spectacular edge workers.
Banned by emperors, paid by kings,pursued by the inquisition: from before the dawn of history alchemists have explored the edges of the known.
With origins in Egypt and Babylon, alchemy is the story of humankind’s earliest quest to understand and bring into balance the inner and outer
worlds. Before their discovery by modern science, alchemical initiates manifested microscopes, submarines, gunpowder, alchohol, porcelain and
much, much more. Alchemists were the midwives of ideas and methods that were to become the science of our modern age. 2000 years ago, wherever there was an
edge there was an alchemist. This is their story.
