Mysticism and transcendentalism can no longer be classed with transmutation. Science now must take and is taking a broad-minded view of the theories of the alchemist and has a sympathetic attitude towards alchemy as a science; a team with chemistry.
The reader by this time may be asking why bring alchemy, transmutation, etc. with the subject of readioactivity, cosmic energy, nuclear energy, radiant energy? Just this, transmutation, radioactivity, cosmic energy, nuclear energy, radiant energy are all based on the same law — vibration, "The Sonic of the Universe". The research who thinks only of transmutation as a means of changing a base metal into gold and in so doing obtaining untold wealth is not worthy of the science.
Transmutations' true worth and value lies in the great field of research that it opens to the experimental mind and its scientific teaching to be used for good. The fantastic is forgotten and true science, pure science, kept as the yardstick. Chemistry is the grandchild of alchemy. Now science is taking the grandfather and making him a trained scientist and not just a wild old goat born amid the mystical fiery furnance. Whatever the faults of the alchemists, they were the fathers of modern experimental chemical science.
