Important Note (September, 2012) - I have submitted an essay to a competition on the foundations of physical reality. It explains how matter and fields are just two different ways that space vibrates. It is very simple and obvious once understood, has profound consequences for humanity, our sense of self in the universe knowing that we vibrate with everything around us. Please read it, rate it, and I will reply to all comments. Thanks, Geoff haselhurst (11th Sept. 2012)
I realise that there are a lot of 'crackpot' theories about truth and reality
on the internet, but it is easy to show that the Wave Structure of Matter
is the correct solution as it deduces the laws
of Nature (the fundamentals of Physics & Philosophy)
perfectly (there are no opinions). While the Wave Structure of Matter is obvious
once known, to begin it will seem strange simply because it takes time
for our minds to adjust to new knowledge.
For those who are religious
/ spiritual, I think Albert
Einstein expresses the enlightened view of God. He writes 'I believe
in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists,
not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings.' This harmony arises from a Wave Structure of Matter in Space (we are all
interconnected in this space that we all commonly experience). This unity
of reality (God, Brahman, Tao, Spirit, Energy, Light, Vibration) is central
to all major world religions, thus their common moral
foundation of 'Do unto others as to thyself' as the other is part of
the self.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a
revolutionary act. (George Orwell)
You must be the change you wish to see in the world. (Mohandas Gandhi)
All that is necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing.
(Edmund Burke)
Hell is Truth Seen Too Late. (Thomas Hobbes)

The Hubble Space Telescope
The
Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a telescope orbiting the Earth 370 miles
above the atmosphere. It is a space observatory in the Great Observatories
program.
Named after the scientist Edwin
Hubble (who discovered the redshift with distance), it was launched
into orbit in 1990 as a project of the NASA with the cooperation of the
European Space Agency.
Initial optical errors of the Hubble Space Telescope were corrected in
1993, and high-quality imaging began in 1994.
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is projected to continue operating until
2009, when funding is expected to be moved to the James Webb Space Telescope
(JWST).
Working
outside the atmosphere has advantages because the atmosphere obscures images
and filters out electromagnetic radiation at certain wavelengths, mainly
in the infrared. By carrying diverse instruments and dividing time between
many astronomical projects from all over the world, the Hubble Telescope
has contributed to an extraordinary variety of astronomical discoveries.
A common misconception is that the principal benefit of observations from
orbit is high-resolution -- in fact the sensitivity to faint objects is
the biggest advantage, and ground-based interferometric observations of
bright sources have much higher resolution than Hubble Space Telescope (HST).

Technical Description of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)
HST is located about 600 kilometers (373 miles) above the ground, orbiting
the Earth every 97 minutes.
Hubble Telescope masses about 11,000 kilograms (12 tons), is 13.2 meters
(43 feet) long, and has a maximum diameter of 4.2 m (13 feet, 9 inches).
Two solar panels provide electricity, which is mainly used to power the
instruments. Four large flywheels are used to orient and stabilize the telescope.
The telescope's infrared camera and multi object spectrometer also need
to be cooled down to minus 180 degrees Celsius for operation.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the
world."
(Mohandas
Gandhi)
"When
forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence:
Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from matter.
... Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially
extended. In this way the concept 'empty space' loses its meaning.
... The particle can only appear as a limited region in space in which
the field strength or the energy density are particularly high. ...
The free, unhampered exchange of ideas and scientific conclusions
is necessary for the sound development of science, as it is in all spheres
of cultural life. ... We must not conceal from ourselves that
no improvement in the present depressing situation is possible without
a severe struggle; for the handful of those who are really determined
to do something is minute in comparison with the mass of the lukewarm
and the misguided. ... Humanity is going to need a substantially new way of thinking
if it is to survive!" (Albert Einstein)
This is the profound new way of thinking that Einstein
realised, that we exist as spatially extended structures of the universe
- the discrete and separate body an illusion. This simply confirms the
intuitions of the ancient
philosophers and mystics.

Given the current censorship in physics / philosophy of science journals (based on the standard model of particle physics / big bang cosmology) the internet is the best hope for getting new knowledge known to the world. But that depends on you, the people who care about science and society, realise the importance of truth and reality.
