As a chemist, alchemists did tons of cool stuff! Their biggest goal failed, but in the process of trying to get rich they invented basically all of modern chemistry. We still regularly use devices and techniques developed by alchemists.

I wrote a line into a story with alchemy in it once… something along the lines of “Oh, alchemy has always been possible. It just requires an insane power input to work, like several nuclear reactors all working towards a single transmutation.” I WAS FUCKING RIGHT???

“If we smash shit together in our shit smasher togetherer we can change one shit to another shit” is pretty cool if replicable.

This makes my heart so happy. I was devastated as a child when I learned being an alchemist was not a viable 21st century career option. Look who's laughing now, Dad!

Aulus Ovidius :
The best part is that it was accidental. You have literal centuries of alchemists all spinning in their graves because WHAT DO YOU MEAN I DEVOTED MY LIFE TO THIS AND YOU DID IT BY ACCIDENT? (But they'll be fine with it when you tell them that it was while they were breaking the stuff of reality down into its tiniest component bits to better understand the forces that shape our world and our selves)

What is the large hadron collider if not a giant transmutation circle?

Yeah, and all we needed was a gigantic superconducting particle collider! It’s so obvious! Those Renaissance alchemists were such goobers!
