Famous Philosophers
On Truth, Reality and Wisdom
Discussion of Ideas & Quotes from Famous Philosophers on Metaphysics and Philosophy
And those whose hearts are fixed on Reality
itself deserve the title of Philosophers.
(Plato,
Republic, 380BC )
The first philosophy (Metaphysics) is universal and is exclusively concerned with primary substance. ... And here we will have the science to study that which is, both in its essence and in the properties which, just as a thing that is, it has. That among entities there must be some cause which moves and combines things. There must then be a principle of such a kind that its substance is activity. (Aristotle, 340BC)
Reality cannot be found except in One single source, because of the interconnection of all things with one another. ... It is a good thing to proceed in order and to establish propositions (principles). This is the way to gain ground and to progress with certainty. ... I hold that the mark of a genuine idea is that its possibility can be proved, either a priori by conceiving its cause or reason, or a posteriori when experience teaches us that it is a fact in nature. (Gottfried Leibniz, 1670)
Introduction - Famous Philosophers
Over the past 2,500 years there have been many Famous Philosophers who have discovered and written on various aspects of Truth and Reality. Unfortunately their knowledge has always been incomplete, and while it explains some things well, their ideas invariably led to paradoxes and confusion. The purpose of this website is to explain the ideas of many famous philosophers, and then, most importantly, to explain how the Wave Structure of Matter, by correcting their errors, leads to simple and sensible solutions to their problems.
(David
Hume, 1737) And though the philosopher may live remote from business,
the genius of philosophy, if carefully cultivated by several, must gradually
diffuse itself throughout the whole society, and bestow a similar correctness
on every art and calling.
Metaphysics / Philosophy
On One Infinite Eternal Substance, Space & its Properties
as a Wave-Medium for Spherical Standing Waves which form Matter
(Aristotle, 340BC) The first philosophy (Metaphysics) is universal and is exclusively concerned with primary substance. ... And
here we will have the science to study that which is just as that which is,
both in its essence and in the properties
which, just as a thing that is, it has. ... That among entities there must be
some cause which moves and combines things.
... There must then be a principle of such a kind that its
substance is activity. (Aristotle, Metaphysics)
(Leibniz, 1670) Reality cannot be found except
in One single source, because of the interconnection
of all things with one another. ... I maintain also that substances,
whether material or immaterial, cannot be conceived in their bare essence without
any activity, activity being of the essence of substance in
general. (Leibniz, Monadology)
(Bradley, 1846-1924) We may agree, perhaps, to understand by
Metaphysics an attempt to know reality as against mere appearance, or the study
of first principles or ultimate truths, or again the effort to comprehend the
universe, not simply piecemeal or by fragments, but somehow as a whole. (Bradley)
Summary: On the Metaphysics of Space and Motion
and the Wave Structure of Matter (WSM).
By describing Reality from One Thing (Space) existing with
the Properties of a Wave-Medium, we find that
we can explain and solve many of the fundamental problems of Metaphysics (and
thus Philosophy, Physics and Theology).
By realising that Matter is formed from Spherical Standing
Waves in Space (rather than discrete particles & forces in Space-Time)
we connect the many things (Matter, Time and Forces), back to One thing, Space and its Wave Motions. It is this wave motion of Space that causes
matter's activity and the phenomena of Time. This solves the
fundamental Problem of the One and the Many by moving from the Metaphysics of
Space and Time (founded on four separate things) to the Metaphysics of Space
and Motion (founded on One Thing, Space).
From this new metaphysical foundation and language for describing Reality (which
is in fact the most simple possible scientific theory as it is founded on One
Thing) we can then understand and explain the foundations of Absolute Truth,
i.e. Necessary Connection, Logic, Reason, and Certainty, which then explain
and solve many problems of Human Knowledge very simply and sensibly (see articles
below).

Famous Philosophers of Physics & Science (A-Z)
Explaining and Solving Problems of Famous Physicists / Scientists
from the past 2,500 years
(Lee
Smolin, 1997) A successful unification of quantum theory and relativity
would necessarily be a theory of the universe as a whole. It would tell us,
as Aristotle and Newton did before, what space and time are, what the cosmos
is, what things are made of, and what kind of laws those things obey. Such a
theory will bring about a radical shift - a revolution - in our understanding
of what nature is. It must also have wide repercussions, and will likely bring
about, or contribute to, a shift in our understanding of ourselves and our relationship
to the rest of the universe.
(Albert
Einstein, 1954) The development during the present century is characterized
by two theoretical systems essentially independent of each other: the theory
of relativity and the quantum theory. The two systems do not directly contradict
each other; but they seem little adapted to fusion into one unified theory.
For the time being we have to admit that we do not possess any general theoretical
basis for physics which can be regarded as its logical foundation.
If, then, it is true that the axiomatic basis of theoretical physics cannot
be extracted from experience but must be freely invented, can we ever hope to
find the right way? I answer without hesitation that there is, in my opinion,
a right way, and that we are capable of finding it. I hold it true that pure
thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed. (Albert Einstein, 1954)
Albert
Einstein: Cosmology - Albert Einstein's General Relativity
laid the Foundations for Modern Cosmology - A Simple Solution to a Complex Problem.
'A human being is part of the whole called by us Universe.'
(Albert Einstein)
Albert
Einstein: Quantum Theory - Albert Einstein never understood
the 'Photon' particle properties of Light Quanta. 'All these fifty years of
conscious brooding have brought me no nearer to the answer to the question,
'What are light quanta?' Nowadays every Tom, Dick and Harry
thinks he knows it, but he is mistaken.' The Wave Structure of Matter explains
the 'Photon' effect of Light due to Resonant Coupling between Spherical Standing
Waves. Light is a wave phenomena, but Standing Wave Interactions
(Resonant Coupling) only occur at discrete frequencies which
explains Schrodinger's wave equations and the discrete
energy exchanges of Light Quanta ('Photon particles').
Albert
Einstein: Leiden Lecture - Very interesting lecture by Einstein (1920) on
'Ether and Relativity'. 'Recapitulating, we may say that according to the general
theory of relativity space is endowed with physical qualities;
in this sense, therefore, there exists an ether. According
to the general theory of relativity space without ether is unthinkable; for
in such space there not only would be no propagation of light, but also no possibility
of existence for standards of space and time.'
Bohr: Einstein

of Physics with further comments from Geoff Haselhurst.

(that Particles and Waves both Incomplete and Complement one another) and Explains
Discrete Energy States of Bohr's Atomic Orbits due to Discrete Frequencies of
Standing Wave Interactions.

Quantum Waves of Quantum Mechanics as Real Wave Interactions to explain Einstein,
Rosen, Podolsky (EPR) Experiment.
de Broglie,
Louis - Wolff's Deduction of the de Broglie Wavelength
as a Doppler Shift due to Relative Motion of two Spherical
Standing Waves.
Faraday,
Michael - Faraday's Electric and magnetic Force Fields
are Continuous Approximations of many Discrete Quantum Standing Wave Interactions.
Faraday realised that Space must exist to cause these 'Force Fields'. 'I cannot
conceive curved lines of force without the conditions of a physical existence
in that intermediate Space.'
Feynman,
Richard - Feynman's QED assumes Spherical Electromagnetic
Vector Waves (Mathematical Waves of Force) rather than Real
Spherical Scalar Waves in Space (which continues to cause Modern Physics
many Problems).

Haselhurst and Gabriel LaFreniere on their independent discovery of the Wave

Galilei,
Galileo - Wave Structure of Matter Explains the Gravitational Attraction
of the Earth and Sun and their Interconnected Orbital Motions.
Hawking,
Stephen - Some Famous Quotes from Hawking's A Brief History of Time
are explained by the Wave Structure of Matter. While there is a lot
of nonsense about the 'Big Bang' he was at least correct in writing 'But maybe
that is our mistake: maybe there are no particle positions and velocities, but
only waves.'
Heisenberg:
Born - Wave Structure of Matter (Real Waves) explains Heisenberg's
Uncertainty Principle and Born's Probability Wave
Interpretation of Quantum Physics. Heisenberg's error was to assume 'Light
and matter are both single entities,
and the apparent duality arises in the limitations
of our language.' when in fact the duality is caused by the
Spherical Standing Wave Structure of Matter.
Huygens,
Christiaan - Huygens' Principle explains how other Matter's
Out-Waves form our Matter's In-Waves and deduces Hubble Redshift
with distance. i.e. The Big Bang Theory is Incorrect.
Kepler,
Johannes - Wave Structure of Matter Explains Elliptical Orbits
of Planets about the Sun.
Lorentz,
Hendrik - The Lorentz Transformations are caused by a change
in velocity and ellipsoidal shape of the In-Waves which changes the location
of the Wave-Center (and which we 'see' as a 'Force Accelerating a Particle').
Lorentz correctly realised that matter existed in an Absolute Space (Ether /
Aether); 'I cannot but regard the ether, which can be the seat
of an electromagnetic field with its energy and its vibrations,
as endowed with a certain degree of substantiality, however
different it may be from all ordinary matter.'
Mach, Ernst
- Wolff's Deduction of Mach's Principle (Mass/Inertia
is determined by all matter in the Universe) from the Wave Structure of Matter.
The Out-Waves of All the other Matter in the Universe Combine (Huygens' principle)
to Form our Spherical In-Waves.
Maxwell, James
- Maxwell's Equations deduce the Velocity of Light but are
founded on Vector Electromagnetic Waves rather than Scalar Quantum Waves.
Michelson
/ Morley - Wave Structure of Matter Explains the Null Results of the Famous
Michelson Morley Experiment and the Motion of the Earth through
an Absolute Space.
Newton,
Isaac - Newton's Absolute Space is correct. His error was
to further assume the existence of Matter 'particles', Time, and Forces, which
are caused by the Spherical Wave Motions of Space.
Planck, Max
- Wave Structure of Matter explains why Planck's Constant
h correctly relates Frequency, Energy and Mass E=hf=mc2.
'A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing
its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because
its opponents eventually die, and a new generation
grows up that is familiar with it.'
Schrodinger,
Erwin - Schrodinger's Wave Equations describe real Standing
Waves of Matter in Physical Space. 'The scientist only imposes
two things, namely truth and sincerity, imposes
them upon himself and upon other scientists.'
Smolin, Lee
- Some Quotes from Lee Smolin's Life of the Cosmos are explained
by the Wave Structure of Matter. 'A successful unification of quantum
theory and relativity would necessarily be a theory of the universe
as a whole.'
Tesla,
Nikola - Tesla was influenced by Vedic Philosophy that all is one and dynamic.
The Wave Structure of Matter confirms Nikola Tesla's Theories
on Resonance and Transfer of Energy by Waves in Space. 'One
day man will connect his apparatus to the very wheel work of the universe ...
and the very forces that motivate the planets in their orbits and cause them
to rotate will rotate his own machinery.'

(James Clerk Maxwell, 1876) In speaking of the Energy of the
field, however, I wish to be understood literally. All energy is the same as
mechanical energy, whether it exists in the form of motion
or in that of elasticity, or in any other form. The energy
in electromagnetic phenomena is mechanical energy.
(Albert Einstein) Physics constitutes a logical system of thought
which is in a state of evolution, whose basis cannot be distilled, as it were,
from experience by an inductive method, but can only be arrived at by free invention.
... We must always be ready to change these notions - that is to say, the axiomatic
basis of physics - in order to do justice to perceived facts in the most perfect
way logically. ... It is the grand object of all theory to make these irreducible
elements (principles) as simple and as few in number as possible, without having
to renounce the adequate representation of any empirical content whatever. (Albert
Einstein, 1954)
According to the general theory of relativity space without ether is
unthinkable; for in such space there not only would be no propagation
of light, but also no possibility of existence for standards of space and time.
But this ether may not be thought of as endowed with the quality characteristic
of matter, as consisting of parts ('particles') which may be tracked through
time. (Albert Einstein, 1928, Leiden)

Summary: Currently physics is founded on four separate things, i.e. matter 'particles' which generate 'forces' that act on other particles in Space and Time. This causes many problems for Physics because we do not understand how these separate things are interconnected. The Spherical Standing Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) solves these problems by describing reality founded on One Thing / Substance (Space) and its Properties as a Wave-Medium for Spherical Standing Waves that form matter. Thus we can explain Matter, Time and Forces by connecting them back to One Thing, Space with the following reasoning;
Matter
(Atom / Particle) - The Wave-Center of the Spherical Standing
Waves causes the discrete 'particle' effect of Matter.
Time - The Spherical
Standing Wave Motion of Space causes matter's activity and
the phenomena of Time. This confirms Aristotle
and Spinoza's connection of Motion and Time, and most significantly
connects these two things back to one thing Space. Movement, then, is also continuous
in the way in which time is - indeed time is either identical to movement
or is some affection of it. (Aristotle)
Forces
(Light, Gravity) - Forces are caused by a change in velocity
of the spherical In-Waves (from one direction, as they interact with other matter
/ waves) which causes a change in location of where these spherical (ellipsoidal)
In-Waves finally meet at their Wave-Center, and which we 'see' as a 'force accelerating
a particle'.
Thus we unite / connect Matter, Time and Forces
back to One thing Space, existing as a Wave-Medium. From this
foundation (and unity) we can then unite (and explain and solve many of the
problems of) Einstein's Relativity, Quantum Theory and Cosmology.
Physics: Albert Einstein's Theory of Special & General Relativity - Briefly summarised (please
read the article, summaries do no justice to a complex idea).
Einstein's Special Relativity (no acceleration) - If there is no change in velocity
of the In-Waves (velocity of light c) then there is no change in the location
of the Wave-Center and thus no 'acceleration of the particle'.
Einstein's General Relativity (on Acceleration and Gravity) - Any change in
velocity of the spherical In-Waves (from one direction, as they flow in through
other matter) changes the future location of the Wave-Center (we 'see' as 'force
accelerating a particle') and also changes the wavelength and ellipsoidal shape
of the waves. This change in velocity of 'spherical' In-Waves and their wavelength
/ ellipsoidal shape (thus dimension) explains the Lorentz Transformations (which
are founded on the changing shape of a sphere / ellipsoid).
This also explains why Einstein's General Relativity relates the changing geometry
of a sphere / ellipsoid to the 'acceleration of a particle', and thus a Gravitational
Field. Albert Einstein's spherical force field theory of matter and the 'curvature'
of the 'four dimensional spacetime continuum' can now be understood as Spherical
Standing Waves where the higher mass-energy density of Space near matter slows the
Wave Velocity and causes the Ellipsoidal shape of the In-Waves to change and
the wavelength / dimension to contract. This can be related to the changing
location of the Wave-Centers (i.e. gravitational force accelerating particle).
Quantum Physics: Quantum Theory / Wave Mechanics - Historical Analysis and Solutions to Problems of Quantum
Theory (Quantum Mechanics).On Planck, Einstein, Bohr, de Broglie, Schrodinger,
Heisenberg, Born, Feynman, Wolff. 'Experiments on interference made
with particle rays have given brilliant proof that the wave character
of the phenomena of motion as assumed by Quantum Theory do, really,
correspond to the facts.' (Albert Einstein, 1940)
Quantum Theory: Particle Wave Duality - The particle-wave duality of Matter
is obviously explained by the WSM. Spherical Standing Waves (Scalar Quantum
Waves not Electromagnetic Vector Waves) cause the Particle
effect at their Wave-Center.
Quantum Theory: Light Quanta (Photons) - Likewise the particle-wave duality
of Light is also explained by the WSM. Light is a wave phenomena, but Standing
Wave Interactions (Resonant Coupling) only occur at discrete
frequencies which explains Schrodinger's wave equations
and the discrete energy exchanges of Light Quanta (Photons).
Cosmology -The supreme task of the physicist is to arrive at those universal elementary laws from which the cosmos can be built by pure deduction (Albert Einstein, 1954). The Wolff-Haselhurst Cosmology explains a Perpetual Finite Spherical Universe within an Infinite Eternal Space. The Spherical Standing waves determines the size of our finite spherical universe within an infinite Space (Matter is large not small, we only 'see' the Wave-Center / 'particle' effect which has greatly confused physics). Huygens' Principle explains how other matter's out waves combine to form our matter's spherical In-Waves, which then deduces both Mach's Principle and the redshift with distance (without assuming Doppler effect due to an expanding universe / Big Bang). This also explains how matter interacts with all other matter in the universe (why we can see stars) as matter is the size of the universe, but we only 'see' the high wave amplitude wave-centers / 'particles'.

Famous Western Philosophers (A-Z)
Explaining Famous Philosophers from the past 2,500 years
(Heraclitus, 500BC) All things come out of
the One and the One out of all things.
(Plato, Republic, 380BC )And those whose hearts are fixed on
Reality itself deserve the title of Philosophers.
... When the mind's eye rests on objects illuminated by truth and reality,
it understands and comprehends them, and functions intelligently; but when it
turns to the twilight world of change and decay, it can only form opinions,
its vision is confused and its beliefs shifting, and it seems to lack
intelligence. ... What is at issue is the conversion of the mind from
the twilight of error to the truth, that climb up into the
real world which we shall call true philosophy.
(George
Berkeley, 1710) Nothing seems of more importance, towards erecting
a firm system of sound and real knowledge, which may be proof against the assaults
of scepticism, than to lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what is
meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning
the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long as
we have not fixed the meaning of those words.
(Kant,
1781) Natural science (physics) contains in itself synthetical
judgments a priori, as principles. … Space then
is a necessary representation a priori, which serves for the foundation
of all external intuitions.

Famous Eastern Philosophy
WSM explains All is One / Interconnected / Dynamic
On Metaphysics of Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Taoism, Tantra
(Lama Govinda, 1969) According to ancient Indian tradition
the Universe reveals itself in two fundamental properties: as Motion
and as that in which motion takes place, namely Space. This
Space is called akasa and is that through which things step
into visible appearance, i.e., through which they possess extension or corporeality.
Akasa is derived from the root kas, 'to radiate, to shine', and has therefore
the meaning of 'ether' which is conceived as the medium of movement. The principle
of movement, however, is Prana the breath of life, the all-powerful,
all-pervading rhythm of the universe.
Though One Brahman is the Cause of the Many.
Behold but One in all things it is the second that leads you astray. (Kabir)
The
most important characteristic of the Eastern world view - one
could almost say the essence of it - is the awareness of the unity
and mutual interrelation of all things and events, the experience
of all phenomena in the world as manifestations of a basic oneness.
All things are seen as interdependent and inseparable parts of this cosmic whole;
as different manifestations of the same ultimate reality.
In Indian philosophy, the main terms used by Hindus and Buddhists
have dynamic connotations. The word Brahman is derived from
the Sanskrit root brih – to grow - and thus suggests a reality
which is dynamic and alive. The Upanishads refer to Brahman
as ‘this unformed, immortal, moving’, thus associating it with motion
even though it transcends all forms. The Rig Veda uses another term to express
the dynamic character of the universe, the term Rita. This word comes from the
root ri- to move. In its phenomenal aspect, the cosmic
One is thus intrinsically dynamic, and the apprehension of its dynamic
nature is basic to all schools of Eastern mysticism. They all
emphasize that the universe has to be grasped dynamically, as it moves, vibrates
and dances. (Fritjof Capra, 1972.)

"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)
Our world is in great trouble due to human behaviour founded on myths and customs that are causing the destruction of Nature and climate change. We can now deduce the most simple science theory of reality - the wave structure of matter in space. By understanding how we and everything around us are interconnected
in Space we can then deduce solutions to the fundamental problems of human knowledge in physics, philosophy, metaphysics, theology, education, health, evolution and ecology, politics and society.
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.

Just click on the Social Network links below, or copy a nice image or quote you like and share it. We have a wonderful collection of knowledge from the greatest minds in human history, so people will appreciate your contributions. In doing this you will help a new generation of scientists see that there is a simple sensible explanation of physical reality - the source of truth and wisdom, the only cure for the madness of man! Thanks! Geoff Haselhurst (Updated September, 2018)
A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. (Max Planck, 1920)
