Revealed, Recipes 'Philosopher's Stone' Younger Secrets 17th Century

A handwritten manuscript of the 400-year-old was found. And it turns out, contents of prescription 'philosopher's stone' is full of mystical said to be the youthful drug and the secret of immortality.

Documents from the 17th century it turned out to be written by scientist Isaac Newton and apparently he copied from other texts chemists.

After decades used as a private collection, the text was purchased by the Chemical Heritage Foundation in the United States. Apparently the contents of the article is a chemical process that converts elements of metal into gold.

In the text, the experts describe how to create a 'philosophic mercury' or better known as the philosopher's stone.

"Philosophic mercury is a substance that could solve the metallic foreign body into small parts," said James Voelkel, as reported by the Dailymail.

"Put simply this, if we can 'split'

the metal, we can then assemble again make another metallic material," he continued.

Translated from Latin, the title of the manuscript reads, 'Preparation Material Making Sophick Mercury'.

However, scientists are not sure whether Newton ever attempted it. Voelkel estimate, it is not the character of Newton. He believes, the legendary physicist wrote it as a reference only.

The stone itself is a popular mythology even been used as a book and then filmed one episode of Harry Potter.

Newton is known for its influence on physics and mathematics, but similar document such as this manuscript shows that he also had a curiosity about alchemy.

The text also describes one experiment Newton. And experts say it is one example that Newton interested alkima.

"Many of the cases in a text written Newton there is a record that is very long, so he wrote on the back of the text," said Voelkel again.

Other experts believe that the original text was written by a chemist from Harvard, George Starkey who often used the pseudonym Philalethes Euigine every time you write a journal, before the publisher to print a copy of it in 1678.

Starkey is one of the scientists who publish their work in the US.

The stone is very popular among alchemists in the West. Between the Middle Ages until the late 17th century, experts believe they can change alkima iron, copper, tin and other metals into gold.

They also believe, the stone has other benefits such as healing sick even ageless until eternity.
