The lessons that he learned from this project led him to create Boyle’s First Law, understanding that the volume of the gas varies inversely with the pressure of that gas. Robert Boyle made many accomplishments in physics. He studied this specific gravity’s various materials, refractive powers, and hydrostatics. He investigated freezing water, noticing how it expanded.

Richard Cassaro is a journalist, speaker and author of “Written In Stone: Decoding The Secret Masonic Religion Hidden In Gothic Cathedrals And World Architecture.” The book uncovers a lost Wisdom Tradition that was practiced globally in antiquity, found memorialized in pyramids, Triptychs, and identical images worldwide. The central tenets of this tradition have been perpetuated in Western Secret Societies. The most visible of these is the so-called “Masonic Fraternity,” an age-old chivalric Order whose ranks have included Europe’s Gothic cathedral builders and America’s Founding Fathers.
