Dr. Steven A. Young is a physicist, DJ, and author known for challenging mainstream scientific paradigms.

In this episode, you're going to learn why Dr. Young questions the utility of modern scientific theories like quantum mechanics and atomic physics, how his research led him to explore alternative frameworks such as alchemy, the five major scientific theories he critiques and their societal implications, his perspective on the origins and applications of atomic theory and gravity, and why he believes embracing ancient sciences could provide more practical and holistic insights into reality.

Dr. Steven A. Young is an author, musician, and natural philosopher recognized for his work under the music alias Hedflux and is the author of A Fool's Wisdom: Science, Conspiracies & The Secret Art of Alchemy (2024). With a background in theoretical physics, holding both a Master of Science (MSci) and a PhD, Steven has carved an eclectic career at the crossroads of science, spirituality, and music.
