Isaac Newton and the Occult Roots of Quantum Physics
Isaac Newton is identified as a primary example of a scientist deeply embedded in alchemy, with economist Maynard Keynes famously labeling him the last of the magicians. Early 20th-century physicists like Heisenberg and Schrodinger turned to Indian mysticism, the Kabbalah, and Rosicrucianism to model the strange behaviors observed in the quantum realm. These pioneers used esoteric frameworks to understand particles popping in and out of existence and the influence of the observer on reality.
