alchemist

Newton was known to be a religious heretic and a practicing alchemist/occultist as well as a scientific thinker.

It would be like an alchemist understanding atomic numbers and nuclei, they are completely different fields.

If Isaac Newton was an alchemist today, I think we would not spend much time listening to him.

For fantasy things, Full metal alchemist is an alternate-earth scenario with magic.

It's not the same as a modern alchemist, who is left only with the mystery, because modern chemistry claimed all the practice centuries ago.

I won't outright say the entire thing is a fraud...hell even Isaac Newton was an alchemist.

The alchemist - Paulo Coelho I've read it several times and each time I found something interesting that I didn't notice.

I would add Fullmetal Alchemist and Death Note to the list of well-dubbed content!

Newton was a devout alchemist/occultist who believed he could find the temple of Solomon - but it doesn't make gravitation or his laws of motion irrelevant.

Programming F# 3.0, 2nd Edition While not reading it right now (read it 4-5 yrs ago) I recommend The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.

Folks, if you think this astrologist/alchemist Krugman is doing scientific work in Economics, please stop and think: can you come up with a falsifiable statement for Keynesian Economics?

> Folks, if you think this astrologist/alchemist Krugman is doing scientific work in Economics, please stop and think Don't project your financial ignorance on other people, just because you don't understand how a balance sheet works.

Too bad you're not an alchemist and will never notice!", "These paper entitle you to shiny magic rocks.

There are many, but the one off the top of my head is "The Alchemist".

By the way, I was reading Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist and..." And then it struck him.

We test stuff all the time we don't understand "completely" (which is some kind of magical standard, as we obviously don't understand the universe completely, so the very atoms and molecules that the machine is made of are in some sense not well understood.) Certainty is the alchemist's stone of philosophy.

Doesn't matter that much (to a certain degree) if you are the CS Master, Math Wiz or the Alchemist, you have to program, program and program to become a better software engineer.

Proof and certainty are the Alchemist's Stone: philosophers sought after them for thousands of years the way alchemists sought after the secret of turning base metals into gold, never realizing that the fundamental problem wasn't in their methods (although their methods had problems) but in their goal, which was impossible and wrong.
