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.

Creation
Vs. Evolution
The Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) explains the Metaphysical
Foundations of
Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution
Although I am fully convinced
of the truth of the views given in this volume I by no means
expect to convince experienced naturalists whose minds are stocked with a multitude
of facts all viewed, during a long course of years, from a point of view directly
opposite to mine. But I look with confidence to the future
to young and rising naturalists, who will be able to view both sides of the
question with impartiality. (Charles Darwin)
In scientific investigations, it is permitted
to invent any hypothesis and, if it explains various large and independent classes
of facts, it rises to the rank of a well-grounded theory. (Charles Darwin)
How extremely stupid for me not to have thought
of that!
(Thomas Huxley's first reflection after mastering, in 1859,
the central idea of Darwin's Origin of Species)
The different branches of science combine to demonstrate
that the universe in its entirety can be regarded as one gigantic process, a
process of becoming, of attaining new levels of existence and organization,
which can properly be called a genesis or an evolution. (Thomas Huxley)
..that no absolute structural line of demarcation..
can be drawn between the animal world and ourselves. (Thomas Huxley,
1863 Man's Place in Nature)
Abuse for six or seven years on the part of the
public is of not the greatest consequence when one happens to be in the right
and stands to one's guns. (Thomas Huxley)
Introduction
Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution
is correct in the limited sense of life (plants, animals, fungi, etc.) but it
exists without Metaphysical foundations. The Theory of Evolution does not explain
what life is, how life exists as matter in Space, how life interacts with other
life and matter at a distance in Space, how life reproduces, and how this caused
life to evolve and adapt.
Only True Knowledge of Reality can provide this metaphysical foundation for
Darwin's Theory of Evolution, and also our Cultural Evolution of Knowledge and
Beliefs. Most significantly to humanity, as Wisdom is founded on Truth, until
we know this Reality of What Exists, and thus what it truly means to be 'Human'
it is impossible for humanity to be wise. And this wisdom is necessary if we
are to succesfully evolve both Life and Knowledge / Culture that enables us
to live in harmony with Nature and the Cosmos (and thus continue to survive
in a universe that is both brutal and beautiful).
And so we realise that there is this profound problem for Evolution (and physics,
philosophy, metaphysics, theology and humanity) to understand what is Evolving,
what is Matter, what is Reality such that we may know what is Truth, what is
wisdom.
This longstanding and most fundamental problem can now be solved with Logic
from Evolution (Evolutionary Philosophy).
Darwinian Evolution tells us that
Evolution must have existed before Humans evolved / existed. Thus there was
a time before humans existed when the human mind did not exist. Nonetheless,
despit this absense of Mind, evolutionary reasoning still requires that our
ancestors (Primates, Protomammals) physically existed for us to evolve from
them (to evolve arms and legs, eyes and ears, etc.). Thus life on earth existed
before our ideas of life on earth
We can demonstrate the truth of this using the Motion of the Earth as it orbits
the Sun, and how this would necessarily affect the evolution of life on Earth.
Due to the Earth's daily spin, Animal life has consequently evolved daily behaviours.
This is clearly confirmed by many evolutionary adaptations and behaviours, e.g.
Animals sleeping, nocturnal hunting (and large eyes, ears), photosynthesis of
plants. Likewise migration of birds and hibernation of bears are two of many
obvious seasonal adaptations and behaviours that are caused by the yearly orbit
of the Earth about the Sun.
Thus evolution deduces that the Earth
does in fact exist, spin, and orbit the Sun. Now most people would think that
this is pretty obvious, (we sleep every night because the earth spins as it
orbits the sun - Galileo is famous for proving the motion of the Earth with
his telescope and mathematical logic).
Remarkably, modern philosophy now believes that the motion of the Earth about
the Sun is merely an idea, a human construction / represenation, and we can
never know what in Reality exists (i.e. Kantian Idealism).
Yet Evolutionary Philosophy deduces that the earth physically existed and moved
before we existed and had ideas of its motion and thus clearly contradicts Idealism.
In fact reason from Evolution enables us to move
beyond Idealim to the Realism of what must have first existed for us to have
evolved to exist. We know that the Earth must move and thus both Space and Motion
must necessarily exist (a priori) for the Earth to move ( as we haved
clearly shown that the Earth spins as it orbits the Sun causing plants and animals
to evolve certain adaptations, and in more general terms it is a fact that animals
have evolved the ability to move themselves which likewise necessarily requires
the existence of Space and Motion.
This Evolutionary Logic, of deducing
what must have existed before human animals / minds existed, provides the necessary
foundations for all human knowledge. This Reality of 'What Exists' can now be
sensibly explained with the Metaphysics of Space and Motion and the Wave Structure
of Matter.

"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.
