A few notes on the importance of gravity in Alchemy

Why is gravity so important to alchemists?

Because without gravity traditional alchemical works would not exist. The humid paths use gravity as a hammer, which counts as supreme tools (the typical example is represented by Fire of nature and Fire against nature).

What are the alchemists thoughts regarding Dark Matter Theory?

Apparently, billions of dark matter particles pass through us every second. Yet no one notices: even the effect of billions of dark matter particles on us is negligible. The fact is that we cannot perceive dark matter. Physicists say that dark matter is so undetectable that it might as well not exist, However, it seems that dark matter interacts with “classical” matter through gravity.

I will venture a hypothesis about it: What if the gravity that dark matter unconsciously exerts on known matter produces this “movement” so sought after by alchemists?
