Do You Know the Answer to this Ancient Riddle?
"The key to life and death is everywhere to be found, but if you do not
find it in your own house, you will find it nowhere. Yet, it is before
everyone's eyes; no one can live without it; everyone has used it. The
poor usually possess more of it than the rich; children play with it in
the streets. The meek and uneducated esteem it highly, but the
privileged and learned often throw it away. When rejected, it lies
dormant in the bowels of the earth. It is the only thing from which the
Philosopher's Stone can be prepared, and without it, no noble metal can
ever be created."
What is it?

As used in the Hammer Films production of "Dracula: AD 1972", which was
wonderfully awful.
Can't beat the old Christopher Lee vs Peter Cushing match up.

Causality ain't all it's cracked up to be.
Seems a little too rigid.
Physicists tend to agree.
