The Wave Structure of Matter Explains the Atomic Structure of Matter. 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. See Video Clip (Windows Media, 170 seconds at 6 KB/s = 1.1MB).

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.
