This person seems like an ass. Science is only when you publish peer reviewed papers. Ok so you're telling me Archimedes and Eratosthenes and al-Kwharzimi and Newton and everyone who figured shit out before the modern system of academia wasn't doing science? This is not a defense of melon-musk , to be clear. He should have his wealth confiscated and his companies nationalized at the minimum.

I mean Newton thought alchemy was a real science. Apparently he wrote over a million words spread out over years on alchemy and conducted countless experiments, these papers were only found after his death.

I mean Newton thought alchemy was a real science.

I mean, alchemy did kind of hold all the cards regarding substances and their interactions prior to the development of modern chemistry.
