Stephen Phillips graduated in theoretical physics in 1968 from the University of Cambridge, England. Studying at the University of Cape Town with Professor W.G. Frahn, South Africa's leading nuclear physicist; he took his M.Sc. degree in theoretical physics in 1971, gaining the University's premier research scholarship.

He then earned his Ph.D. at the University of California, where he also taught mathematics and physics. In 1979 one of his scientific papers was published, proposing a theory that unified particle interactions and predicted that quarks are not fundamental (as most physicists currently believe) but are composed of three more basic particles ('subquarks') which, may have since been detected at FermiLab, high-energy physics laboratory near Chicago in America.

He has lectured on his research at the Cavendish Laboratory of Cambridge University, to the Society for Psychical Research, to the Theosophical Society and at the 1996 Summer School of the Dharma Center of Canada, a Buddhist meditational retreat outside Toronto, Canada. His work has appeared in several academic journals, popular magazines and newspapers.
