Podcast: Isaac Newton’s Experiments in Alchemy - Paul Ferguson - 12-27-2025
"Discover the hidden side of Isaac Newton, the scientific genius behind gravity and calculus, who spent decades secretly obsessed with alchemy. Far from being a mere pseudoscience detour, Newton’s alchemical pursuits involved intense laboratory experiments, decoding ancient texts, and a quest for the philosopher’s stone and divine secrets in matter. Influenced by mysterious figures like Eirenaeus Philalethes, he wrote over a million words on transmutation and metallic “growth.” This forgotten passion shaped his revolutionary ideas on forces and light, revealing Newton not just as the first modern scientist, but the last great magician."
