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.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a
revolutionary act. (George Orwell)
You must be the change you wish to see in the world. (Mohandas Gandhi)

Hell is Truth Seen Too Late. (Thomas Hobbes)

Pictures from: Ancient Greek Philosophy (Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, ...)

Hello Everyone,
Having spent many years reading and writing on Philosophy, Physics and Metaphysics we have now collected many hundreds of lovely pictures of famous Philosophers. We thought it would be nice to put these on our website such that others could use them (please link to us if you do!). It is nice to see the person behind the ideas.
We hope that you enjoy our collection of pictures of scientists & philosophers, but more importantly, that you will read their ideas.
We have a wonderful collection of philosophy quotes on our website and significantly, an explanation of why they are true. The Metaphysics of Space and Motion and the Wave Structure of Matter (WSM), is a simple scientific solution to the many problems of Philosophy, Physics and Metaphysics.
Sincerely, Geoff Haselhurst

Use of Images on this Website
Our Website now gets about 20,000 visitors a day, and we have over a thousand images on various pages - mainly Philosophy, Physics, Metaphysics and Fine Art (Renaissance, Impressionist, Erotic Art / Vintage Erotica). Because of this we notice that many of our images are appearing on other people's websites.
We are more than happy for people to use these images (and many quotes) on their own web pages (we think it's great actually!). However, for copyright reasons we ask that you do not copy images and upload them to your server. Instead you can just right click on images, select properties, copy their http URL address and link directly to that (so they are downloaded from our server onto your page).
For example, this Heraclitus image can by used by right clicking on image, selecting properties, and copying http URL address and adding it into your html code as;
<img src="http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Images/philosophy-shop/philosophy-shop-heraclitus.jpg">
Most of our Fine Art images can be found on the following page; Philosophy: Art / Truth - The Philosophy of Art and the Art of Philosophy. The greatest Art is founded on profound Truths. Art Pictures and Quotations from Botticelli, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Titian, Caravaggio, Reubens, Velazquez, Rembrandt, Goya, Renoir, Van Gogh, Mattise, Picasso, Warhol. On the rise and fall of great Art - On the new Metaphysical foundations of Art as representation of Absolute Truth and Reality.
We also have two shops (see below) that have many of our favourite Philosophy, Fine Art and Vintage Erotica Images printed on various products and you are also most welcome to use those images using the above procedure. We would also greatly appreciate it if you would add a link back to the webpage that is the source of the images. Thanks and Enjoy.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the

"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.

grab a nice image / quote you like and add it to your favourite blog,
wiki or forum. We are listed as one of the top
philosophy sites on the Internet (600,000 page views / week) and have
a wonderful collection of knowledge from the greatest minds in human history,
so people will appreciate your contributions. Thanks! Geoff

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.
