Robert Boyle (1627-1691) was an early scientist, who studied physics, chemistry, natural philosophy, and more. He is best known for his discoveries in physics and chemistry. Although he was taught the traditions of alchemy, he is considered a founder of modern chemistry. Robert Boyle was born in Ireland, the son of an earl. As a child, Robert learned Latin, Greek, and French. Before his ninth birthday he was sent to Eton College for three years, followed by two years abroad with a tutor. In 1645, Boyle returned to England. From this point, his life became devoted to scientific research. Among his experiments, he created a new air pump. 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. And he was the first to understand the role that air plays in the propagation of sound. Yet for all his discoveries in physics, chemistry was his favorite subject. Robert Boyle was an alchemist who believed … Continue reading Robert Boyle – A Biography →

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.
