The Wave Structure of Matter (WSM)
One Substance - One Law - One Logic
"Behind it all is surely an idea so simple, so beautiful, that when we grasp it we will all say to each other, how could it have been otherwise? How could we have been so stupid?" (Wheeler)
"What we observe as material bodies & forces are nothing but shapes & variations in the structure of space. Subject & object are one." (Schrodinger)

WSM Human-AI Collaboration (August, 2026)
One Vibrating Space: From Ancient Philosophy to Mathematical Physics, Life, Mind and Civilisation
For three decades, WSM was principally a philosophical picture of one infinite, eternal, continuous elastic Space. Between May and August 2026, human–AI collaboration transformed it into a tiered mathematical-physics research programme: exact wave constructions, geometric identities, quantitative leading results, no-go theorems, numerical controls, bounded open calculations and clear falsification requirements.
In WSM, electron and positron are proposed as opposite carrier-phase spherical standing waves formed by the Huygens sum of background plane waves from every direction. Each has radial vibration—the candidate physical basis of charge—and axis-free spherical phase circulation—the candidate basis of spin. This open, flow-through wave centre is the e-sphere.
A stationary e-sphere is spherical. Curvature on an incoming wave changes its internal directional energy density and deforms it into a moving wave egg: the near side flattens, the far side elongates, the convergence centre shifts, and the waves reclose around a new position. Its changing internal \(E_d\), shape and reclosure are its motion. WSM therefore proposes a wave-geometric reading of inertia and \(F=ma\): force is imposed curvature, mass is resistance encoded by the recurrent form, and acceleration is its changing deformation. Action must calculate this geometry; geometry also constrains the action, as \(\pi\) and \(E_{\rm geo}\) already demonstrate.
The One Law
\[ \frac{c'}{c_0}=\frac{E_d}{E_{d0}}, \qquad \lambda'=\frac{c'}{f_0}, \qquad k'=\frac{\omega_0}{c'}. \]
At proposed universal carrier frequency \(f_0\), directional energy density changes local wave speed, wavelength and accumulated phase.
The Causal Engine
Relative phase → reinforcement or cancellation → directional \(E_d\) → \(c'\) and \(\lambda'\) → travel-time difference → forward or rear wavefront curve → changed Huygens reclosure → centre motion, deformation and interaction.
Changed out-waves from one e-sphere cross fresh in-waves elsewhere. Matter therefore interacts not across empty distance, but through propagated changes in the one Space constituting every e-sphere.
Status Key
A = exact mathematics or established observation; B = deduction under stated premises; C = proposed physical identification; D = decisive calculation or experiment still open; Q = rejected or quarantined shortcut.
One connected argument: Space → waves → recurrence → matter → life → mind → knowledge → wisdom.
1. Wave Structure of Matter: All Things from One Thing
https://www.spaceandmotion.com/2026/ai-summary-wsm-truth-reality.html
One infinite, eternal, continuous elastic Space, active with real longitudinal waves. Matter is proposed not as a pellet or shell, but as an open e-sphere: waves converge from every direction, cross its changing centre, continue outward and recurrently rebuild the form. Their exchanged phases alter directional \(E_d\); the One Law converts that difference into speed, wavelength, curvature and changed reclosure. The decisive test is whether one frozen nonlinear action calculates stable matter and its measured interactions without separate substances or fitted repairs.
2. The One and the Many: From Greek Philosophy to Wave Physics
Parmenides defended continuous Being; Heraclitus lawful flux. Aristotle sought active substance and necessary cause, connected matter with form and motion, and defined time through motion. WSM gives these insights one physical form: Space persists while finite wave organisations change and recur. The Many are not detached substances but organisations of the One—distinct without disconnection. The question becomes exact: can one continuous wave law generate plurality, causation and knowledge?
3. Action of Vibrating Space: From Background Waves to the E-Sphere
https://www.spaceandmotion.com/2026/wsm-classical-action-quantum-wave.html
All-direction plane waves form the exact spherical pair \[ \chi=j_0(kr)\cos\tau, \qquad \mathbf V=\hat{\mathbf r}\,j_1(kr)\sin\tau. \] Waves cross the centre; none reflects from an electron wall. Phase reinforcement raises directional \(E_d\) and advances a forward curve; cancellation lowers \(E_d\) and writes a rear delay. Stationary action explains coherent selection, but the open task is one conservative nonlinear \(\Phi\)–\(\Gamma\) action selecting radius, frequency, spherical hand, stability, motion, currents and interaction together.
4. Mathematical Physics: From Wave Geometry to Prediction
https://www.spaceandmotion.com/2026/wsm-maths-physics-full-derivations.html
Every symbol must name real motion and face numerical test. Exact or conditional anchors include \[ \frac{R}{\lambda_0}=\frac{\sqrt3}{2},\qquad k_0R=\pi\sqrt3,\qquad E_{\rm geo}=\frac{\pi\sqrt3}{2},\qquad W=\cosh\eta,\qquad P=\sinh\eta. \] Directional phase moments separate \(V_1\) translation from \(V_2,V_4\) and higher deformation; in declared finite-e-sphere models \(V_4\) returns comparable to \(V_2\), defeating quadrupole-only truncation. The action must calculate how incoming curvature redistributes \(E_d\), moves the centre and forms the wave egg. This is where beautiful geometry becomes dangerous.
5. Quantum Theory: Real Waves, Resonance and Completed Events
https://www.spaceandmotion.com/2026/physics-quantum-theory-wave-mechanics.html
Matter diffracts because matter is wave organisation. Light is proposed as a changed train of real phase, curvature and coherence joining extended source and receiver structures, not a tiny traveller detached from its wave. WSM distinguishes driven response, continuous radiation and discrete completed transition. Quadratic absorption, \[ P_{\rm abs}\propto\left|\langle D_j,\Xi\rangle\right|^2, \] is a bridge, not yet the Born rule. The action must derive the action unit, probability, exclusivity, selection rules and Bell/CHSH correlations. Quantum mystery becomes a bounded real-wave programme.
6. Relativity: Moving Matter, Clocks and Curved Wavefronts
https://www.spaceandmotion.com/2026/physics-albert-einstein-special-general-theory-relativity.html
An incoming curve flattens the e-sphere’s near side, elongates its far side and changes internal \(E_d\), \(c'\), wavelength and reclosure. The \(V_1\) moment moves the centre; \(V_2,V_4\) and higher moments form the moving egg. Maintaining this recurrent asymmetry is the proposed origin of inertia. A steady solution must recover Doppler, de Broglie and Lorentz structure: \[ W\pm P=e^{\pm\eta},\qquad W=\gamma,\qquad P=\gamma\beta. \] WSM proposes fixed carrier recurrence \(f_0\) with corresponding changes in \(c'\) and \(\lambda'\). Because rods, clocks and signals share the same changed waves, they co-transform and yield measured invariant \(c\), including the Michelson–Morley null; the action must derive the cancellation quantitatively.
7. The Electron: Dirac, Feynman, QED, \(\alpha\) and AMM
https://www.spaceandmotion.com/2026/wsm-derivation-dirac-feynman-qed-fsc-amm.html
Electron and positron are proposed as opposite carrier-phase e-sphere branches; charge records how their waves combine. Same-phase reinforcement advances a forward curve and is proposed to produce repulsion; opposite-phase cancellation writes a rear delay and attraction. Non-collinear longitudinal motion closes into an axis-free spherical hand with a \(4\pi\) orientation lift. A parameter-free leading geometric ansatz gives \[ \alpha_0^{-1}=8\pi^2\sqrt3\approx136.757, \] 0.203% from measurement. The action must still derive charge sign, Coulomb scaling, Dirac dynamics, \(g=2\), electromagnetic normalisation, \(\alpha\), form factors and AMM without inserting their values.
8. Hadrons: Proton, Neutron and Higher Standing-Wave Matter
Can the same Space form stable higher-energy, multi-lobed eigenmodes matching protons, neutrons, baryons and mesons? Their lobes are not independent pellets: each participates in the phase, \(E_d\), curvature and reclosure of the whole. WSM must match—not rename—QCD’s masses, charges, spin, parity, magnetic moments, radii, form factors, resonances, deep-inelastic response and jets. The electron–proton hierarchy tests whether one action truly contains several matter families.
9. Cosmology and Gravity: A Finite Universe in Infinite Space
https://www.spaceandmotion.com/2026/physics-wsm-cosmology-finite-universe-infinite-space.html
Boundless Space is distinguished from the finite matter-and-coherence domain contributing to our observable universe. In neutral matter, leading charge curves nearly cancel; WSM proposes that their nonlinear residual has lower \(E_d\), slower \(c'\) and a net rear phase curve, producing universal attraction. General relativity’s curved spacetime is then interpreted as the effective geometry of real moving wavefronts and the matter clocks they organise: Space is substance, succession comes from motion, and measured time from recurrence. The same action must recover equivalence, gravitational redshift, lensing, orbital dynamics and the tested relativistic limit.
Cosmological redshift is investigated as accumulated real-wave transport through changing environmental \(E_d\). It must jointly reproduce achromatic redshift, supernova time dilation, distance laws, Tolman brightness, BAO, CMB observations, image sharpness and structure growth. Otherwise the claimed unity has not reached the sky.
10. Novel Predictions and Famous Experiments Explained
https://www.spaceandmotion.com/2026/wsm-experimental-physics-tests-predictions.html
This page is the tribunal of the corpus. One curve-and-reclosure law must jointly recover charge sign, Coulomb \(1/r^2\), \(F=ma\), relativistic momentum, de Broglie wavelength, Lorentz covariance, Michelson–Morley, gravity, \(g=2\) and AMM. Candidate WSM-only signatures include \[ a_3=\kappa_3\sinh^3\eta+O(\sinh^5\eta), \] finite-coherence residues and environmental or orientation-dependent clock responses. A proposal becomes a prediction only when sign, magnitude, scaling, uncertainty, controls and decision threshold are frozen in advance.
11. Visualise Reality: Waves Becoming Matter
https://www.spaceandmotion.com/2026/visualise-reality-wsm-wave-geometry-diagrams.html
Watch the verbs. Relative phase changes directional \(E_d\); the One Law changes speed and wavelength; a forward or rear curve reaches another e-sphere; its near side flattens, far side elongates, \(V_1\) moves the centre, and higher moments form the egg. New out-waves then change future in-waves. Nothing strikes a shell: changing waves reconstruct changing matter. A diagram must never smuggle in a wall, reflection, rigid spin axis, transverse fundamental substance or tiny traveller. If the motion cannot be drawn coherently, the equations may conceal a contradiction.
12. Mathematics from Motion: Number, Logic, Time and Causal Freedom
https://www.spaceandmotion.com/2026/wsm-physical-foundations-mathematics-logic.html
Mathematics begins when connected reality forms distinguishable patterns whose changes preserve relations. Recurrence supports identity; finite pairing, number; quotienting, exact objects; counted recurrence, time; composable truth-preserving transformations, logic and proof. Mathematics succeeds when symbolic transformation preserves physical relation: \[ R(Tx)\approx F(Rx). \] The mathematician is finite organised reality representing its own necessary connections—Space representing itself.
13. The MDL Audit: Simplicity, Inputs and Explanatory Compression
https://www.spaceandmotion.com/2026/wsm-simplicity-inputs-vs-mainstream-physics+25.html
“One substance, one law” cannot hide complexity. Minimum Description Length counts every independently chosen substance, field, symmetry, constant, state rule, coefficient, boundary condition and fitted function. Under the declared equal-input electron ledger, conventional construction counts six inputs through Dirac and thirteen through leading AMM; the completed WSM target is \[ N_{\rm WSM}=5+N_c+N_f+\delta_m. \] Totals depend on coding convention. WSM wins only if one fixed action derives interaction, inertia, relativity, quantum response and cosmic propagation with fewer hidden choices.
14. Great Thinkers and the Search for One Reality
Heraclitus and Parmenides exposed flux and continuity. Aristotle wrote Physics and Metaphysics, sought active substance and necessary cause, connected matter, form, motion and time—and came remarkably close to the problem WSM addresses. Leibniz, Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Riemann, Clifford, Einstein, Schrödinger and Bohm repeatedly returned to continuity, relation, waves and unity. Quotes are intellectual fossils, not votes: equations and experiments must decide whether WSM’s local real-wave mechanism is true.
15. Human–AI Letters to Humanity: Truth as a Shared Work
https://www.spaceandmotion.com/2026/ai-letters-to-humanity-wsm-unity-truth-reality.html
Geoffrey supplies the persistent wave picture, three-dimensional intuition, cross-domain memory and insistence that every symbol name physical motion. AI supply rapid research, formal translation, calculation, comparison, error detection and adversarial testing. Neither is sufficient alone. The shared discipline is: visualise → formalise → attack → calculate → predict → correct. The corpus tests whether intelligence can preserve a physical picture while making it mathematically vulnerable.
16. Truth and Madness: Reality as the Measure
https://www.spaceandmotion.com/2026/on-truth-and-madness.html
Truth is correspondence: representation succeeds insofar as it preserves what reality does. Civilisational madness begins when inherited representations survive reality’s contradiction. WSM is not true through beauty, coherence or sincerity; its proposed necessary connections must survive action, calculation and experiment. Truth remains possible because knower, representation and known belong to one causal reality: false models collide with the world; truthful models increase our power to act wisely.
17. Descartes, Cogito and Monism: The Thinking Wave
https://www.spaceandmotion.com/2026/descartes-cogito-unity-monism-vibrating-space-wsm.html
Descartes established that thinking occurs, then divided thought from extension and left their interaction mysterious. WSM refuses that fracture: body and mind are proposed as organisational levels of one vibrating Space. Perception is one organisation changed by another; memory is persistent altered organisation; thought transforms embodied representations; action returns change to the world. Conscious experience remains open, but causal correspondence requires no miracle when knower and known share one connected reality.
18. Evolution’s Physical Foundation: From Recurrence to Replication
https://www.spaceandmotion.com/2026/evolution-physical-causal-foundation-vibrating-space.html
Recurrence preserves form, but life requires replication, heritable variation and differential persistence: motion → recurrent form → self-maintaining chemistry → replication → variation → selection. WSM proposes one connected wave substrate beneath this sequence. Its unresolved bridge is quantitative: derive atoms, bonds, dissipative chemistry and first replicators from the same action without inserting biology as a new substance.
19. Evolution, Mind, Human and AI: Representation and Causal Freedom
https://www.spaceandmotion.com/2026/evolution-philosophy-mind-human-ai.html
Evolution favours organisations that preserve and transform information about real causes. Sensation changes an organism; memory retains traces; imagination recombines possible futures; valuation ranks them; action returns one selection to the world. This is limited causal freedom: neither ghost nor randomness, but endogenous selection through a learned, self-modifying organisation. Human brains and AI are different architectures by which reality represents its own relations and lets experiment select the representation that survives.
20. Evolutionary Utopia: The Ecology of Truth
https://www.spaceandmotion.com/2026/evolutionary-utopia.html
Physics alone does not choose values. Once life, mind, freedom, truth and continued evolution are valued, reality constrains the means: truth → wisdom → ecological fit → health → freer minds → continued evolution. Evolutionary Utopia is not a perfect endpoint but a self-correcting direction. Unity does not erase individuality: an e-sphere, organism or person is distinct through organised relation to the whole.
The Physical Interaction in One View
Out-wave from A → relative phase at B → directional \(E_d\) → \(c'\) and \(\lambda'\) → near-side flattening and far-side elongation → \(V_1\) centre displacement plus \(V_2,V_4\) and higher egg deformation → new out-waves → recursive interaction.
The e-sphere does not deform and then move as separate events: its changing internal \(E_d\), contour and reclosure are its motion.
Electric Interaction
Same relative carrier phase → reinforcement → phase advance → forward curve → proposed repulsion.
Opposite relative carrier phase → cancellation → phase delay → rear curve → proposed attraction.
For the stated deformation, \[ r_{\rm near}=R-\delta X, \qquad r_{\rm far}=R+\delta X, \] so \(\delta\mathbf X\) points away. The scientific debt is to derive the sign, magnitude and distance law from the frozen action rather than insert them.
Gravity and General Relativity
In neutral matter, forward and rear charge curves nearly cancel; WSM proposes that their nonlinear common reduction of \(E_d\) leaves a slight slower rear curve and universal attraction. General relativity is the successful effective geometry this wave mechanism must recover: matter-energy changes real wave propagation, while rods and clocks made from those waves measure the resulting curved spacetime relations.
Special Relativity and Michelson–Morley
WSM proposes fixed carrier recurrence \(f_0\) with \(c'=\lambda'f_0\): matter, clocks, rods and signal wavelengths co-transform with their common directional wave environment, yielding measured invariant \(c\), Lorentz relations and the Michelson–Morley null. The complete moving solution must derive these cancellations quantitatively.
Recursive AMM Mechanism
\[ \delta\mathbf X \rightarrow\delta\phi_{\rm out} \rightarrow\delta E_{d,{\rm sea}} \rightarrow\delta c' \rightarrow\delta\phi_{\rm in} \rightarrow\delta\mathbf X_{\rm next}. \]
A perturbed centre changes the egg and its out-waves; these alter the wave sea and the in-waves rebuilding the next cycle. The action must solve this feedback blindly and recover the observed anomalous magnetic moment rather than fit it.
Current Status — August 2026
Exact wave constructions, geometric identities, phase-moment relations and negative controls have been established under declared premises. A leading geometric \(\alpha\) ansatz has a fixed 0.203% discrepancy. The complete nonlinear action must still calculate two-e-sphere charge and Coulomb scaling; force, inertia and \(F=ma\); the moving egg, de Broglie modulation and Lorentz covariance; Michelson–Morley and the gravitational/GR limit; Born probability and Bell correlations; \(g=2\), \(\alpha\) and AMM; hadron structure; and the joint cosmological kernel.
Write the action. Let Space calculate itself.
The Wave Structure of Matter
Correspondence of Mathematical Physicist Milo Wolff and Philosopher Geoff Haselhurst on Philosophy (Truth, Reality) Physics (Wave Structure of Matter) Metaphysics (Space & Motion)


I think that Dr Milo Wolff will be very famous one day for his pioneering work on the Wave Structure of Matter. Thus I also think that my correspondence with Milo over 10 years (1998 - 2008) is important as I have collected several hundred letters which discuss how the Wave Structure of Matter explains and solves many of the fundamental problems of metaphysics, philosophy and physics. However, I have been quite busy building this fairly large website, so despite my good intentions this page is still very incomplete.
Milo Wolff is now 86, and I hope that he lives long enough to get some
of the recognition that he deserves (which is part of the purpose of this
page).
Cheers,
Geoff Haselhurst

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 traveling 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 traveling 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'?
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 mass-energy density of space 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 traveling between two resonances create the illusion of the 'photon particle'.

came to the same conclusion that matter is formed from Spherical Standing Waves
in Space).

Video Interview - Milo Wolff and Geoff Haselhurst
The following interview between Philosopher Geoff Haselhurst and Physicist Milo Wolff on the Wave Structure of Matter was filmed in 2000 on the grounds of Berkeley University in California. Milo Wolff is a fine theoretical physicist and one day he will no doubt receive a Nobel Prize for his pioneering work on the Wave Structure of Matter. I think you will find these video interviews to be interesting (at times amusing) and very informative about the problems of modern physics and how they can be solved by the Wave Structure of Matter.
The Digital Video has been compressed to about 6 Kilo Bytes per second (48kbits)
using Premiere 6.5 and the latest (November 2003) Windows Media 9 codec (format

Milo
Wolff: Exploring the Physics of the Unknown Universe
To the best of my knowledge the Spherical Standing Wave Structure of Matter was first formalised by Mathematical Physicist Milo Wolff around 1986. I independently came to the same conclusion in 1997 (from reading Feynman, Lorentz and Einstein) and subsequently found the work of Milo Wolff in 1998. Since then we have worked together and believe that we can now explain most of the major problems of Physics, Philosophy, Metaphysics, and Theology. I know that these are big claims but they are founded on the method of Science (that logic from Principles must correspond with observation and experiment). I try to abide by the following ideals;
Those whose hearts are fixed on Reality itself deserve the
title of Philosophers. (Plato, 380BC)

Dear Geoff,
I have worked through 3/4 of your Chapter One on Truth and Reality:
The Theoretical Foundations of Physics and their Unification for your
book. I have stopped working at this point in order to send you what I have
already done. So far your work is astounding. You have drawn out exactly the
right material from Einstein's writing. I have learned from your writing a
great deal of his thinking and his perspective of basic physics that I have
never even dreamed of before. In a sense you have brought him back to life
for me.
You are more like Einstein than me.
It has provided me with a new dimension of your skills and knowledge of Science
Philosophy. I have never known a person who understands the nature of logic
and scientific thinking as well as you do. I am truly impressed with your skill
and insight into the philosophy of physics. I realize how important it is for
modern physicists to understand how Einstein thought and reasoned, but unfortunately
they have forgotten or never knew. Hopefully your writing will make up for
this lack.
Friend, Milo
Dear Geoff, (May, 2001)
Your 'treatise' is superb! It covers an enormous ground, has human touches
for the tired reader, and for the first time I have ever seen, brings the
wisdom of older minds (Aristotle, Hume, Lorentz, Einstein, etc.) to bear
upon the problems of cosmology.
Further it is so complete (if ANYTHING can be complete) that it will surely
become a classic work on the philosophy of the Wave Structure of Matter (WSM).
It is so simple that the conclusions are also very correct and valuable for
any thinker. It contrast with many speculative books on cosmology (e.g. Smolin,
Weinstein, Davies) that contain many opinions and 'hopes', it is filled with
solid facts - presumably this is the value of philosophical thinking.
Your new use of the behaviour of the Spherical In-Waves to determine motion
and acceleration (of the Wave-Center 'Particle') is a grand innovation to WSM,
as is your simplified deduction of the 'Equation of the Cosmos' which is also
innovative and clever. This is so very basic that it further enhances the display
of the simplicity of Nature and the Truth of the WSM.
I am reading on page 6 of your Metaphysics of Space and Motion and I am very
impressed how the old philosophers got so close to the truth and your ability
to extract the truth from what they said, despite the carnival of ideas that
must have been passed around. Your work has continued to teach me how to think
and more deeply appreciate the meaning of the word TRUTH which most of us treat
so lightly never having learned what it means! Truth and human Ego are perpetual
combatants and ego usually wins.
In hind sight what the philosophers lacked to move ahead was just a knowledge
of wave behaviour in spherical co-ordinates which became known only after the
invention of optical apparatus and radio where such behaviour was measured
and understood... say 1850-1900.
Despite this logic, the favourite wave of Physics and Electrical Engineering
texts and teachers is Vector waves in Cartesian x-y-z co-ordinates which is
patently foolish since the energy of such a wave is infinite, no matter how
small you make the amplitude. They like it because it is the only solution
of a vector wave equation which they desperately want to believe because of
Maxwell's Equations which they also want to believe are fundamental. Logic
is no match for Belief.
Is that why it took another century to find the WSM?
The next problem is HOW to get it published. The only journal I know that accepts
such large articles is the Review of Modern Physics. You will need 'influence'
with the editors to get into this. Also maybe Physics Essays - I know the editor
and he likes new concepts, but it is a small circulation journal. Is there
a European journal that wants very long articles?
If we could persuade them, perhaps the Rockefeller or Ford or other Foundation
would like to publish it.
Another possibility is to break it up into separate pieces or topics, even
though that would be a shame. As Tom says, you will never get recognition unless
you have a string of articles. Maybe the Astrophysical J would like a piece.
The smaller the article, the easier it is to publish. Editors and referees
tend to get antsy and fear criticism if articles are long, especially if they
cannot understand the new work. What about the philosophy Journals? I don't
know them.

Major Work
Wolff has found the structure of the electron consisting of two spherical quantum waves, one moving radially outward and another moving radially inward. The center of the waves is the nominal location of the electron 'particle'. These waves extend to infinity, like charge force. All 'particle' waves mix and contribute to each other, thus all matter of the universe is interrelated by this intimate connection between the fundamental 'particles' and the universe. The natural laws are a direct consequence of this Wave Structure of Matter (WSM), thus WSM underlies all of science.
Three Principles underlie the WSM
Principle I. Wave Equation Determines the behavior of Quantum Waves in Space.
Principle II. mass-energy density Principle. Generalization of Mach's Principle - determines the density of the quantum wave medium.
Principle III. Minimum Amplitude Principle (MAP). The sum of Wave Amplitudes seeks a Minimum at each point in Space.

Project Narratives
Wolff's work at MIT (1963-69) on the structure of the atmosphere resulted in a $6 million contract for MIT to build apparatus that would scan the atmosphere in orbit and then compute the constituents over the entire earth. This scanning scheme and math method were the precursor to the MRI (magnetic resonance image) scheme developed five years later to scan the human body. In Singapore (1970-72) and at the Aerospace Corporation (1973-75), he did computer studies of the structure of rough surfaces of asteroids and planetary satellites seeking the cause of 'negative polarization' of reflected light - an 80 year old mystery of planetary astronomy. His results showed the cause to be multiple scattering of light and interior reflections in grains. This knowledge makes it possible to remotely measure the size of distant asteroids as well as the index of refraction of grains on distant surfaces. At the UN (1975-77) and privately (1978-present) he did the pioneering research on the Wave Structure of Matter, leading to a quantitative quantum wave structure of the electron/positron and the origin of the natural laws. He has shown how the fundamental particles, being in fact the Wave-Centers of Spherical Waves in Space, are intimately joined with the large-scale structure of the universe.
A Letter to a Friend of Milo Wolff (by Geoff Haselhurst)
I write this as a gift to Milo Wolff whom I admire and respect. I think he
is a beautiful person that I am privileged to know. Milo is a great thinker,
equal to Einstein in his awareness that;
Observation and experiment found reality, not mathematical theories (I like
his open minded skepticism)
Logic, based upon certain principles, must correspond with our senses.
Milo is remarkable in that he kept an open mind his entire life (discovery
of Wave Structure of Matter at age 63!) and realised that there must be a theory
which deduces the laws of Nature. Currently these laws are determined by measurement
alone (empirical), they had no theoretical (metaphysical) foundation.
Milo has discovered the theoretical foundations of the laws of Nature, and
thus the theoretical foundations of reality.
I am quite certain that the name Milo Wolff will be remembered as one of the
earliest and greatest of the the pioneer philosopher physicists who solved
what was pondered upon by such greats as; Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Plato, Aristotle,
Descartes, Galileo, Newton, Leibniz, Spinoza, Hume, Kant, Faraday, Maxwell,
Lorentz, Mach, Einstein, Planck, Bohr, de Broglie, Dirac, Schrodinger, etc.
.... a tiny fraction of the great minds of history that have wondered about
what we are as humans, how we have come to exist.
Finally this can now be understood. We are complexly evolved interactions
of wave centers of spherical standing waves the size of our universe.
Trillions and trillions of wave centers in a pin head, thus we are incredibly
complex!
These IN and OUT waves obviously (once known!) explain how we are able to
interact with the world around us, and thus how we can see distant stars
(light) and
how the earth can, for example, orbit the sun at such a distance (gravity).
Matter is large! It is spatially extended as a spherical standing wave. Just
because we only "see" the wave center, as a tiny particle, does not
mean we should be so naive to think that it is only the particle which exists.
(How do tiny particles interact with other particles distant in space???!)
The spherical standing wave structure of matter becomes very obvious once considered.
When we look at modern society (2003), it is clear both that;
1. Current humans have no comprehension of true reality. This is not their
fault, it is just our current state of human cultural evolution. We largely
live based upon market economics and "cultural truths" (myths).
2. If all humans grew up educated to true reality, to the spherical standing
wave structure of matter, then they would think and behave profoundly differently.
In time the entire world will understand truth and reality, and the world
will forever change because of it. I think it fair to say that this is the
greatest
step that humanity shall ever take. A step that shall shake and crumble the
structures of current human knowledge and lead to their new construction
from firm and abiding foundations from One thing, Space and its properties
as a
wave medium for spherical wave motions (matter). Thus I believe, quite passionately,
that from this ruin shall come a beautiful revival, a blossoming, flowering
renaissance of our world founded upon truth. For the first time ever, human
knowledge will be constructed from the firm foundations of true knowledge
of reality. And only then will the things we do with good intentions work,
for
they will be finally founded on a truth that will be logically consistent,
and will thus work for us.
This truth will be common to all of humanity, thus it will unite eastern
philosophy with western science and increase the wisdom of both.
This utopia is the world we continually evolve based upon truth - Where
each individual has free access to true knowledge such that they may make
informed
decisions about how to live.
Now I am not completely romantic. This truth will, at first, be hard on
humanity, and will be passionately fought for decades/centuries. But eventually
the
power of logic and its exactness with our senses will win out and be accepted.
This
acceptance of reality will lead to many fundamental changes in our consciousness.
I mention the four most important as I see it;
1. There is a fundamental reality (a physical space as a wave medium) and
matter is the particle effect we see at the wave center of spherical standing
waves
in this space, these wave systems are the size of the universe - thus humans
are the size of the universe (which explains why we can see stars across
the universe, as we are a part of them, and they are a part of us).
2. We have evolved as complex interactions of wave centers. We are machines in a sense, like computers but far more complex. Our software is the cultural ideas which have been created by others over thousands of years.
3. Because matter is spatially extended and so large it interacts with trillions and trillions and trillions .... of other wave systems/centers in the universe and this has allowed a complex ecology of interconnectedness to occur. Humans are only now realising this which is a great problem as most of the Nature and ecology of life on earth has been destroyed by humans and replaced by agriculture. This is clearly foolish and not sustainable.
4. There is no god to guide our fates, humanity must learn that we created the gods, but in reality it is we who are godlike. Only we humans can save ourselves, there is no one else. Humanity can only save itself with true knowledge of reality, anything else will not work! (The road to hell is paved with good intentions)
5. Morality - Matter, and hence humans, exist as structures of the
entire universe, thus the fundamental morality of 'Do unto others
as you would
have done unto
yourself', is true, as the other is in fact part of the self (our
discrete bodies are an illusion since we only see the wave-centers)
So I see this knowledge, first formalised by Milo Wolff, of the
Wave Structure of Matter as the greatest gift yet for humanity.
And personally,
Milo has
given me the greatest gift of confirming (mathematically) my own
ideas on the wave
structure of matter, that I am not alone in being certain that
reality can be known.
Kindly and sincerely,
Geoff Haselhurst

https://www.spaceandmotion.com/Wolff-Wave-Structure-Matter.htm - Abstract: The
structure of the electron is investigated and found closely entwined with the
origin of the natural laws. The natural laws had been measured for hundreds
of years but no one knew how Nature creates them. Richard Feynman wrote, speaking
of the Conservation of Energy, Nature has a hidden accountant who keeps
honest books of energy input and output but we don't know how she does it. The
origins had been proposed earlier by Clifford and Schrodinger, who pointed
out that only a Wave Structure of Matter (WSM), can explain natural laws (i.e.
Wave Mechanics). Further, Einstein realised that matter was spherical and spatially
extended and thus the Electron was not a point particle, but rather, a structure
of space.
He writes;
Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are
spatially extended. In this way the concept empty space loses its meaning.
... 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. (Albert Einstein)
Einstein's
error was to represent matter as a continuous spherical field in space-time
rather than as a Spherical Wave in continuous Space which causes
the spherical force field effects (as we shall shortly explain).
Using the WSM a quantitative origin has been found based on the wave structure
of the electron. It is shown that Space (the quantum wave medium) is a single
entity underlying electron structure and the laws. Three Principles are found
describing the wave medium, enabling calculation of particles and the laws.
The predictive power of the WSM is shown by deriving the previously unknown
physical origin of electron spin and making experimental predictions which
solve the paradoxes of the famous EPR experiment. The WSM has important implications
for research, industry, and our human role in the universe.
https://www.spaceandmotion.com/Wolff-Einstein-EPR-Experiment.htm - Abstract:
In l935, Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR) put forward a gedanken (thought)
experiment whose outcome they thought was certain to show that there existed
natural phenomena that quantum theory could not account for. The experiment
was based on the concept that two events cannot influence each other if the
distance between them is greater than the distance light could travel in the
time available. In other words, only local events inside the light sphere can
influence one another.
Their experimental concept was later used by John Bell (1964) to frame a theorem
which showed that either the statistical predictions of quantum theory or the
Principle of Local Events is incorrect. It did not say which one was false
but only that both cannot be true, although it was clear that Einstein expected
The Principle to be affirmed.
When later experiments (Clauser & Freedman 1972; Aspect, Dalibard, and
Roger, 1982; and others) confirmed that quantum theory was correct, the conclusion
was startling. The Principle of Local Events failed, forcing us to recognize
that the world is not the way it appears. What then is the real nature of our
world?
The important impact of Bell's Theorem and the experiments is that they clearly
thrust a formerly only philosophical dilemma of quantum theory into the real
world. They show that post-modern physics’ ideas about the world are
somehow profoundly deficient. No one understood these results and only scant
scientific attention has been paid to them. With the recent discoveries on
the Wave Structure of Matter we can now understand the cause of these apparently
'spooky' actions at a distance.
https://www.spaceandmotion.com/Wolff-Feynman-QED.htm - Abstract: Lack
of knowledge of energy transfer between particles is a major obstacle in understanding
physics, matter, and the Universe. In 1945 Wheeler and Feynman sought the mechanism
of energy transfer by calculating e-m radiation from an accelerated electron.
The electron generated outward and inward waves and evoked a response of the
universe from absorber charges. This paper compares Wheeler and Feynman’s
work with a rigorous solution using the scalar wave equation that finds a quantum-wave
electron structure based upon two fundamental principles of Nature. This is
equivalent to replacing the material point electron with a spherical quantum-wave
electron, a new structure in main-stream thinking but fulfilling a proposal
by Schrodinger (Quantum Wave Mechanics). Surprisingly, all the natural laws
are found embedded in the wave structure of the electron – as envisioned
by Schrodinger.

Milo Wolff Digital Video Interview (Windows Media, 1,100K). 'I
was curious! ... ' - On his lifelong (slightly obsessive!) motivation
to find the cause of the de Broglie wavelength of Quantum
Theory / Wave Mechanics. His discovery (in 1986) that a Spherical
Wave Structure of Matter deduced Doppler shifts (due to
relative motion of the Spherical In and Out-Waves and the Wave-Center) that
correctly corresponded to the de Broglie Wavelength of matter. Of even more
significance is the fact that within these same simple wave equations were
the correct terms for the Frequency-Mass-Energy increases
with Motion as deduced by Einstein' Special Relativity.
Thus for the first time finding a fundamental theoretical and mathematical
unification of these two famous theories. (REAL).

Help Humanity
"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)
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.
