TerraSana Nut Spreads
Since antiquity man has dreamed of transforming simple metals such as lead into gold. The notion to no longer have to work for gold, but to be able to simply create it by yourself, has inspired writers for thousands of years. But there was also a professional group, which seriously tried to put this idea into practice: the alchemists. The alchemy originated in Egypt during the 1st century as a branch of natural philosophy. It had two major goals, first: the so-called transmutation, turning base metals into gold or at least silver. In addition, the alchemist also tried to accomplish the completion of his soul with his work. In alchemy, therefore, natural sciences and spiritual aspects were combined. For many centuries alchemical books were reserved for scholars in the Eastern World. Only when the Arabic books were translated into Latin in the High Middle Ages they became available in Europe - but only on the quiet. For most alchemists practiced their art in secrecy. They often only passed on their knowledge verbally to selected students. And if they had to write something down, they used symbols and code words, that only they could decrypt.
Because of their secrecy, the alchemists were eyed critically by many contemporaries. They were said to persue the dark arts, and, for example, try to create artificial living creatures. In order not to be targeted by the Inquisition, many alchemists worked as pharmacists, glassblowers and ornamental blacksmiths during the day. At night they experimented in cellars or in the attic. If one of them really succeeded to produce gold from lead, he kept his secret to himself. In the eighteenth century, the alchemists finally came to a fission. Some went to the universities and became, for example, chemists, others joined together in esoteric secret societies.
Today modern science has come into the inheritance of ancient alchemists. In 2012, researchers at the Bavarian Geology Depertment succeeded to produce a diamond from peanut butter. Usually diamonds form deep under the earth's surface at temperatures above 2,200 degree Celsius. The pressure that prevails there is 1.3 million times as high as in the atmosphere and forces the atoms to reform. Thus diamonds emerge from carbon. Peanut butter or fatty nut purees also contain plenty of carbon. After the researchers had extracted the water from the peanut butter, they only had to put enough pressure on the rest. The escaping hydrogen caused small explosions but in the end the researchers had a real diamond. Is anyone who has a glass of peanut butter at home a potential millionaire? Unfortunately, no. Because the researchers needed several weeks to create a diamond with only 3 mm diameter. And also optically the light brown peanut diamond can't keep up with its bright-glittering cousins. But even if the jewelers are not interested, any alchemist would go green with envy.
