"Esoterica Rare Books was founded by Dr. Justin Sledge as an extension of his work on the Esoterica YouTube Channel. People interested in the arcane in history, philosophy and religion are nearly always also lovers of antiquarian books. However, the rare book market is itself very difficult to navigate. Lending his expertise in western esotericism, Dr. Sledge began to curate a small catalog of antiquarian esoteric volumes for purchase. As interest grew, Esoterica Rare Books was established in 2024 to serve the community’s interest in these wonderful volumes. Dr. Sledge is joined by his colleague Dr. Morgan Meis in making these books available to the public."

"In 2025, CERN scientists at the ALICE experiment announced that in the previous decade, they had used the Large Hadron Collider to induce photon emissions within deliberate near-miss collisions of lead-208 nuclei, turning them into gold-203 nuclei. A total of roughly 270 billion gold nuclei were created over three experiment packages, a miniscule amount."

"Since humanity’s earliest days, we have looked to the skies with wonder, finding profound meaning in the creatures that traverse both heaven and earth. Bird symbolism history stretches back to the dawn of human consciousness, appearing in cave paintings dating to 16,000 BCE, where our ancestors captured not just the physical form of birds but the spiritual essence they represented."

"The University of Franeker (1585–1811), a significant academic institution in the Netherlands, provides a historical context to explore the study of alchemy and its relevance in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). This article examines whether alchemy, a protoscience focused on transmutation and longevity, was part of Franeker’s scholarly pursuits, particularly given its faculties of medicine and philosophy. It further investigates the potential longevity effects of alchemical molecular compounds, such as those derived from herbal and mineral preparations, and how AI-driven tools can rediscover and validate these substances for modern anti-aging research. By bridging Franeker’s historical legacy with contemporary technology, the discussion highlights alchemy’s enduring significance."

"At Science Abbey, we believe that any honest worldview today must rise above sectarian ideologies. In an age of rapid change and global interconnection, we are called to be skeptical, compassionate, and evidence-guided observers—citizens of both our local and planetary communities. That includes care for one another and for the natural world—our forests, our water, our air."
