@@ExplosionsAndFire It's fairly likely you misidentified one of the compounds in question. This has been brought up in the comments section of that vid, in that the "potash" mentioned was likely short for caustic potash, or potassium hydroxide. I think I managed to confirm that by looking at a couple of contemporary books that collected the known reactions for various metals, which recorded the reaction in different terms than Davy used, though I might be misremembering. By the by, I know those sources said that the acid used was plain old nitric acid, so it's possible that using red fuming nitric acid caused problems (or not, I'm not sure, I'm still a chem student). While we're here, I might also want to mention (again) that the synthesis supposedly makes platinum sulfate at some stage, which hasn't been synthesized in modern laboratory conditions. There are recent-ish theoretical chemistry papers speculating on the properties of the compound. The paper exclusively uses the formula Pt(SO4), rather than "platinum sulfate", and thus only comes up when you search for the chemical formula. So even if you can't replicate the entire process, you could still be making something worthy of a paper with this procedure.

But not that weird? There were parts that were *impressive*, but it isn’t so much “no fair, it shouldn’t work that way” and more “I didn’t expect that to simplify out or factor in that way”.

As a modern alchemist I can tell you that they use a LOT of metaphor. When they say Sulphur of gold. They mean a compound made of gold which has similar properties to sulfur. Mostly a low melting point and the ability to exhibit the colors yellow,red, black ,white, and red in that order.

“Ghosts”... Explains why much of my childhood involved neighbors questioning mushroom clouds and bangs they heard, and people with shiny badges stopping by to “have a little look around”, while I jumped haphazardly in childlike naivety on the burnt trampoline in the backyard saying to myself... “don’t look in that shed”.

Something that I find interesting about the "Gold sulfur" is that sulfur was considered to be one of the elements of the "Tria Prima", or a set of elements which is different from the... other set of elements that they also used. The other two members were mercury and table salt, and part of the reasons they thought they could turn base metals into gold was because every metal was some mixture of mercury and sulfur. It's entirely possible that they thought this experiment was, in a sense, pulling the sulfur from the gold and using that to create an explosive. Makes me wonder where they thought the mercury went? And what did they think was happening when they tried mercury fulminate?

The first explosion, was antimatter. When an antiproton, meets a proton, they anhilate each other on a quantum scale. This works, regardless of the big bang, so it's really the oldest explosion to have ever occurred and its completely natural.
