Is the only reason reciprocals of factors flipped because it adds up to 1 when multiplied?

I understand the logic of reciprocals of whole numbers and vice versa and the logic behind negative powers

As well as that factors are a ratio without without a certain quantity but I don't get the logic or the steps to the flip could anyone help?

Potentially Spanish or French late night movie aired in 2010s-20s

I randomly found this movie on youtube a couple months ago, I didn't get far but it was pretty eccentric the theme was bridging back creativity to tv(?)

It started off pretty colourful and there were a few dances, singing, they might have been dressed up as genitals and rambled sex?

The cast was small and there was one apparently iconic guy as the main speaker

It was meant to be 6 short stories I think, if I remember correctly the first one was about ducks or aliens, I remember them hopping or squatting (?) following each other in a line It seemed pretty fun and been trying to find it for ages

Just to expand btw, I was watching at lots of South American movies around then but am not certain and I also remember I found it on a channel I was watching a war movie or documentary on that subbed it if that helps at all And they kept shouting maybe imagination or something along those lines at the start

Was there there any proof Paracelsus actually believed in making gold?

Would it not be more likely he was testing it like mentioned with mercury about how onion seeds couldn't turn to nuts and flowe? It wouldn't make senses to preach something they did not believe

They seemed to acknowledge limitations atleast by the end, considering he put his life on the line for preaching I understand if he was open to it but seemed it as an effort that could be put to use but it would be too far to say he was a coward who believed it
