Steven Young is an author, theoretical physicist, and musician.

In our conversation, he talks about how science has become a false religion and why alchemy is an important element of science that’s been mostly forgotten.

'The secrets of alchemy exist to transform mortals from a state of suffering and ignorance to a state of enlightenment and bliss.' —Deepak Chopra

Stephen refers to modern science as scientism. For clarity, alchemy is an ancient practice that combines elements of science, philosophy, and sprituality, usually considered a precursor to modern chemistry.
