Let me ask you... Was their mysticism rooted in reality? No. Just because Newton was an alchemist doesn't mean his belief led to advancement in the science of chemical reaction.

Hmm, good question. Profile says he last visited five days ago, but he hasn't posted in ages. :(

Honestly the topics seems to have been a little slow recently. Maybe if there was something interesting to post on...
