A Nuclear Physicist Explains Why He Left Science to Study Ancient Alchemy

Send us Fan Mail

Steve has a PhD in theoretical nuclear physics. He also thinks ancient alchemy is a superior science. In this conversation we dig into why — and the answers are more grounded than you might expect.

We cover the periodic table, nuclear power stations, sulfur's role in both explosives and healing, and the alchemical principles that map surprisingly well onto modern biology and nutrition.

If you've ever felt that mainstream science leaves important questions unanswered, this one's worth your time.

Steven A. Young is an author, musician, and alchemist known for his work as Hedflux and as the author of A Fool's Wisdom (2024).

With a PhD in theoretical physics, he has built an eclectic career at the crossroads of science and spirituality, reframing modern science through an alchemical lens.

His book is a #1 Best-Seller in Philosophy of Science on Amazon, and he regularly publishes video presentations on YouTube and Substack.
