Abstract
Quintessence is based on the five elements that, according to the alchemists, make up the world: fire, water, earth, air, and the mythical substance aether. Aristotle included it as a fifth element distinct from the other four. It is believed to be the substance that fills the region of the universe above the terrestrial sphere and forms the heavenly bodies.
