Episode: 114
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Steve Young, an author, musician, and natural philosopher, to explore the world of alchemy and challenge the rigid structures of contemporary science.
Dr. Young shares the events that led him from a conventional academic background in theoretical physics to the mystical world of alchemy, influenced by shamanic experiences that made him question everything he was taught.
A comparison of classical physics, which is rooted in observation and discovery, with modern science, which often relies on authority to dictate truth. Dr. Young delves into how these differences influenced his shift in perspective.
Dr. Young discusses what led him to question the heliocentric model and the concept of gravity, including his thoughts on various scientific experiments like the Michelson-Morley experiment and their perceived flaws.
Explore the four classical elements—air, water, earth, and fire—and how ether connects with them. Dr. Young also breaks down the symbology of the tetractys and the deeper meaning behind the caduceus.
Dr. Young explains how the elements on the periodic table are formed through the transmutation of the four classical elements and shares insights into the inner processes of alchemy and the vessels used in this transformative work.
A thought-provoking discussion on how the theory of evolution may detract from the universe’s creation power, opening the door to alternative perspectives on existence.
