Site
Introduction (2009): This website is primarily on the subjects of truth
and reality. We get about 300,000 page views each week and are one of the
top philosophy / physics sites on the Internet. The central thesis is best
stated in three parts;
i) We must know the truth to act wisely, and truth comes from physical reality.
ii) Our present and past societies are not founded
on truth and act unwisely (overpopulation, destruction of nature,
pollution, climate change, religious and economic wars, etc.).
iii) We now know the correct language for describing
physical reality (all matter interactions are wave interactions in space),
and this knowledge is critical for our future survival, being the source
of truth & wisdom.
So how do we prove that this is true? Everyone will agree that true
knowledge of reality must explain and solve the fundamental problems of
knowledge in physics, philosophy and metaphysics. This website
does exactly that. The above subject pages provide short summaries / simple
solutions to these central problems of knowledge. To begin it is useful
to read the Introduction
& Summary to this Physics Philosophy Metaphysics Website.
Short Summary of Quantum Physics These Quantum Physics pages (on either side) show how this new
understanding of physical reality (that all light and matter interactions
are wave interactions in Space) explains and solves the central problems
of Quantum Theory.
The mistake was to work from Newton's foundation of particles
and instantly acting gravity forces in space and time (many things) and
then have to add more things to explain light and electricity, i.e. charged
particles, continuous electromagnetic fields and waves (Faraday,
Maxwell,
Lorentz,
Einstein's
Special Relativity).
Thus by 1900 the central concepts of Physics were; Matter as discrete particles with both gravitational mass
and electrical charge properties (mass-charge duality). Light as continuous electromagnetic waves (velocity of
light c).
Continuous electromagnetic fields created by discrete charged particles
(discrete particle-continuous field duality). Local charge interactions limited by the velocity of electromagnetic
waves (velocity of light c).
The solution to this confusion and contradiction is simple once
known. Describe reality from One thing existing, Space (that we all commonly
experience) and its Properties. i.e. Rather than adding matter
particles to space as Newton did, we consider Space with properties of a
continuous wave medium for a pure Wave Structure of Matter. This is the
Most Simple Science Theory of Physical Reality (despite many claims
to the contrary, science does actually work, we just needed the correct
foundation of continuous Space rather than discrete matter).
Most importantly, this Dynamic
Unity of Reality provides simple solutions to all the 'strangeness'
of quantum physics that has resulted from this discrete / disconnected 'particle'
conception of matter.
i.e. Matter is a Wave Structure of Space - the Spherical Wave
Center creates the 'particle' effect. Light is a Wave Phenomena - however, spherical standing
waves (matter) act as spherical resonators and only interact (resonantly
couple) at discrete frequencies / energies which gives the effect of discrete
light 'quanta'. Reality is both Continuous (Space) and Discrete (Standing Wave Interactions). Reality is both Local and Non-Local - matter is causally
inter-connected in Space by its Spherical In and Out Waves (traveling at
velocity c, i.e. Einstein's Locality). However (and very importantly), with
relative motion these matter wave interactions form de
Broglie phase waves that travel at high velocities (c2/v),
explaining EPR and apparent Non-Locality / Instant-Action-at-a-Distance. Reality is Causally Connected but Non-Deterministic / Statistical.
The waves in quantum theory are real waves (not abstract 'probability waves')
but lack of knowledge of the interconnected whole (infinite Space) causes
statistical behaviour of matter (as Einstein believed).
I realise this is a pretty abrupt / radical introduction to a new way of
seeing things - that it will take some time to adjust. But the Wave Structure
of Matter is simple sensible and obvious once known. Each Quantum Physics
page has a short summary and important quotes, so it is easy to click around
and confirm things for yourself. Enjoy! Think! Geoff

A Simple Solution to the Wave Particle Duality of Light and Matter
+ = In-Wave + Out-Wave = Standing Wave
Introduction: The 'particle' conception of matter (from ancient Greeks) has caused many problems and paradoxes for modern Physics (as the quotes below make clear). Strangely, it is only in the past 20 years that a pure Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) has been properly examined. We then find (by replacing 'particles' with Spherical Standing Waves) that the natural laws originate from the behaviour of the waves and the properties of space.
It will also become clear that the classic point-particle model of charge and mass substance cannot satisfy either the logic of science or the many puzzles of physics. The model is only an historical relic and its presence in the 'Standard Model' of physics is an obstacle to progress. This is evident in the quotes below which highlight the problems of modern physics when founded on the discrete and separate particle concept;
The idea that something can be both a wave and a particle defies imagination, but the existence of this wave-particle "duality" is not in doubt. ... It is impossible to visualise a wave-particle, so don't try. ... The notion of a particle being "everywhere at once" is impossible to imagine. (Davies, Superforce)
Light and matter are both single entities, and the apparent duality arises in the limitations of our language. (Heisenberg)
It can no longer be maintained that the properties of any one thing in the universe are independent of the existence or non-existence of everything else. It is, at last, no longer sensible to speak of a universe with only one thing in it. (Smolin, 1997)
In the quantum world, subatomic particles lurch about, suddenly disappearing from their starting points and reappearing as if by magic somewhere else. ... In many cases you cannot watch a subatomic particle move from A to B; you can only observe it at point A, and, sometime later, observe it again at point B. Just how it got there is a mystery. In this realm particles sometimes act entirely like waves, and vice versa. This equivalence of particles and waves is related to the equivalence of matter and energy that Einstein discovered. ... How could nature be both things at once? How could both pictures be right? Yet how could either be wrong? (Margaret Wertheim)
(Dr Milo Wolff, 1990)
The Wave Structure of Matter - How Waves form 'Particles'
The Wave Structure of fundamental Particles evolved over five years. It began with a simple speculation that waves in Space could explain the de Broglie wavelength. It continued to agree with more laws and observations than I first expected and I was amazed. The 'Particle' is two identical spherical waves travelling radially in opposite directions so that together they form a spherical standing wave. The wave which travels inward towards the center is called an In-Wave, and the wave travelling outward is an Out-Wave. The nominal location of the ‘Particle’ is the Wave-Center, but as must be true for any charged Particle, it has presence everywhere in Space because the charge forces extend throughout the Universe.
How do Solid Bodies form from Waves?
The solid crystal array is a matrix of atoms held rigidly in space. How are the atoms suspended in space? We must conclude that the crystal’s rigidity derives from fixed standing waves propagating in a rigid wave medium. Calculations for diamonds and nuclear structure yields an enormous rigidity. This is really a separate argument about the rigidity of space, which is one of its properties.
What is a Light 'Photon Particle'?
Two Spherical Standing Waves (SSW) oscillators exchange energy much like classical coupled oscillators, such as electric circuits or joined pendulums. The coupling provided by the non-linear centers of the resonances (high Wave-Density Wave-Centers) allows them to shift frequency patterned by the modulation of each other's In and Out-Waves. Since significant coupling can only occur between two oscillators which possess the same resonant elements, the frequency (energy) changes are equal and opposite. This we observe as the law of conservation of energy. When opposite changes of frequency (energy ) take place between two resonances, energy seems to be transported from the center of one resonance to another. We observe a loss of energy where frequency decreases and added energy where it increases. The exchange appears to travel with the speed of the In-Waves of the receiving resonance which is c, the velocity of light. When large numbers of changes occur together, we can sample part of it and see a beam of light (which causes the continuous electromagnetic waves of Modern Physics). When single exchanges occur we see 'photons' as discrete Standing Wave interactions. Thus the transitory modulated waves travelling between two resonances create the illusion of the 'photon particle'.

How does one particle emit and absorb another particle? It only makes sense when we realise that spherical standing waves cause 'particle' effects. (REAL)
3. Milo Wolff (950K) Explains the obvious fact that Spherical Waves necessarily form a 'particle' effect at their Wave-Center, thus solving the 70 year old paradox of the Particle-Wave Duality of Matter. Further discussion of Space and it Properties as a Wave Medium for the Spherical Waves which form matter. On the size of the Wave-Centers and how many exist in the matter of our bodies. (REAL)

A Simple Solution to the Particle / Wave Duality of Light and Matter & Quantum Entanglement
"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.
