Introduction (2009): Despite several thousand years of failure to correctly
understand physical reality (hence the current postmodern
view that this is impossible) it is actually very simple to work out
how matter exists and moves about in Space.
The rules of Science
(Occam's Razor / Simplicity) and Metaphysics
(Dynamic Unity of Reality) require that reality be described from only
one substance existing, as Leibniz
wrote; 'Reality cannot be found except in One single source, because of the
interconnection of all things with one another'.
When we deduce
this most Simple Science Theory of Reality we find that there is only
one possible solution: Space must be the substance which exists and matter
is formed from waves in Space. The electron is a spherical standing wave
in Space. See Wave
Diagrams
i.e. While there are many minds and material things, they all exist in one
common Space (just look around you and think about it). We can then show
that the Wave Structure of Matter is the correct solution as it deduces
the fundamentals of Physics
& Philosophy
perfectly (there are no opinions).
I realise that there are a lot of 'crackpot' theories about truth and reality
on the internet, but this solution is the most simple one and it is obvious
once known (though it takes time for our minds to adjust to new knowledge).
In hindsight the error was obvious - to try and describe an interconnected
reality from the foundation of many discrete and separate things, matter
'particles', which then required forces / fields to connect them in space
and time. This was always just a mathematical
solution which never explained how matter was connected across the universe.
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.

revolutionary act. (George Orwell)

The 'Particle' as the Wave-Center of a Spherical Standing Wave in Space
It
seems probable to me that God in the beginning formed matter in solid, massy,
hard, impenetrable, movable particles, of such sizes and figures, and with such
other properties, and in such proportion to space, as most conduced to the end
for which he formed them; and that these primitive particles being solids, are
incomparably harder than any porous bodies compounded of them; even so very
hard, as never to wear or break in pieces; no ordinary power being able to divide
what God himself made one in the first creation. (Newton, From
'The Tao of Physics', p64)
According
to general relativity, the concept of space detached from any physical content
(matter, objects) does not exist. The physical reality of space is represented
by a field whose components are continuous functions of four independent variables
- the co-ordinates of space and time. Since the theory of general relativity
implies the representation of physical reality by a continuous field, the concept
of particles or material points cannot play a fundamental part,
nor can the concept of motion. The particle can only appear as a limited region
in space in which the field strength or the energy density are particularly
high. (Einstein, 1954)
Introduction
& Summary of the Atomic Structure of Matter (Particles)
It has been the holy
grail of Physics for the past 70 years to unite Einstein's Relativity, Quantum
Theory, and more recently, Cosmology from one Metaphysical foundation. And it
is obvious that to achieve this we must understand what matter really is, and
thus what causes the particle / field effects of matter.
The solution to this
problem (with mathematical precision and certainty) belongs largely to the pioneering
and revolutionary work of Mathematical Physicist
Milo Wolff, who first discovered the Spherical Wave Structure of Matter in 1986.

The problem for the particle conception of matter has always been to explain how matter acts on other matter in the space around the particle. This caused Newton to assume instant action-at-a-distance (gravitational force), though Newton well realised this limitation of his Mechanics (which assumes the motion of particles in Space and Time).
The solution is both simple and sensible. By replacing the discrete and separate particle conception of matter with the Spherical Standing Wave Structure of Matter, we can then clearly understand how the Spherical In-Waves can interact with other matter, and carry that knowledge in to the Wave-Center, thus explaining 'action-at-a-distance' and how we can see objects in the space around us (see stars across the universe). Thus we realise that matter is large (as spherical standing waves) not small particles, which are merely an effect of the Wave-Center.
Below is a brief article on the history of Atoms / Atomism. It is interesting to understand the history of atomism and how this conception of matter has led to many problems and contradictions of modern physics.

Physics: Atoms / Atomism
Atomism arose as an explanatory scheme
with the ancient Greeks (around 400BC), Leucippus and Democritus, and Epicurus,
and the Roman poet, Lucretius. At the most fundamental level atomism is the
belief that all phenomena are explicable in terms of the properties and behaviour
of ultimate, elementary, localized entities (or 'fundamental particles').
Thus
it prescribes a strategy for the construction of scientific theories in which
the behaviour of complex bodies is to be explained in terms of their component
parts. That strategy has led to many of the successes of modern physical science,
though these do not prove that there actually are 'ultimate entities' of the
type postulated by atomism.
Their (the atomists) analysis goes 'behind' the appearance of minute, unchangeable
and indestructible 'atoms' separated by the emptiness of 'the void'. It is the
void which is said to make change and movement possible. All apparent change
is simply the result of rearrangements of the atoms as a consequence of collisions
between them. This seems to lead to mechanical determinism, though, in an attempt
to leave room for freewill, Epicurus and Lucretius postulated that atoms might
'deviate' in their courses. (See an explanation of Free Will)
However if 'what exists' is 'atoms', what of the 'void'? In different ways both
Aristotle and Descartes denied that there could be such a thing as literally
'empty space'. Physically therefore they saw the world as a plenum. Atomism
was also associated with atheism, since as Lucretius put it, 'Nothing can ever
be created out of nothing, even by divine power.' Conversely no thing can ever
become nothing - so the atomists proposed a strict principle of conservation
of matter.
The attempt of the ancient atomists to solve a metaphysical problem about the
nature of change resulted in a brilliantly fruitful strategy for the construction
of theories in the physical sciences. However there are unanswered philosophical
objections to atomism and the very successes it has stimulated suggest that
'the stuff of the world' cannot ultimately be understood in terms of atomism.
A thoroughgoing positivism will continue to hold that 'atomic theories' are
simply devices for talking about observable phenomena.

of Western Philosophy and Philosophers, 1991)

"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.
