Newton ACTUALLY Discovered the Philosopher's Stone | History Camp
Why was Isaac Newton searching for the Philosopher’s Stone? Today on History Camp, we explore Newton’s secret life as an alchemist, the experiments inside his laboratory, and the mysterious mentor who helped shape his search. We look at why alchemy was kept secret, how researchers have decoded Newton’s experiments, and the religious ideas behind his work. We also examine the question of mercury poisoning, his pursuit of counterfeiters at the Royal Mint, and the rediscovery of the papers that revealed another side of one of history’s most famous scientists. Could we actually turn lead into gold?
