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.
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)
All that is necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing.
(Edmund Burke)
Hell is Truth Seen Too Late. (Thomas Hobbes)
Pablo Picasso Paintings, Quotes, Life
Biography (1881 - 1973), Cubism Art, Blue Period
Below you will find some paintings and quotes from the famous
Spanish artist, Pablo Picasso. I will be adding more paintings and his
life biography in the future. We also have a lovely page on the Philosophy of Art with a gallery of paintings and quotes from Renaissance and Impressionist Artists.
From the moment that art ceases to be food that feeds the best minds, the
artist can use his talents to perform all the tricks of the intellectual
charlatan. Most people can today no longer expect to receive consolation
and exaltation from art. The 'refined,' the rich, the professional 'do-nothings',
the distillers of quintessence desire only the peculiar, the sensational,
the eccentric, the scandalous in today's art. I myself, since the advent
of Cubism, have fed these fellows what they wanted and satisfied these critics
with all the ridiculous ideas that have passed through my mind. The
less they understood them, the more they admired me. Through amusing
myself with all these absurd farces, I became celebrated, and very rapidly.
For a painter, celebrity means sales and consequent affluence. Today, as
you know, I am celebrated, I am rich. But when I am alone, I do not have
the effrontery to consider myself an artist at all, not in the grand old
meaning of the word: Giotto, Titian, Rembrandt, Goya were
great painters. I am only a public clown - a mountebank. I have
understood my time and have exploited the imbecility, the vanity, the greed
of my contemporaries. It is a bitter confession, this confession
of mine, more painful than it may seem. But at least and at last it does
have the merit of being honest. (Pablo Picasso, 1952)
Every
child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow
up.
(Pablo Picasso)
We all know that art is not truth.
Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth. (Pablo Picasso)
Every act of construction is an act
of destruction. (Pablo Picasso)
Painting is stronger than me, it makes
me do its bidding. (Pablo Picasso)
When we discovered Cubism, we did
not have the aim of discovering Cubism. We only wanted to express what
was in us. (Pablo Picasso)
People want to find a "meaning" in
everything and everyone. That's the disease of our age, an age that is
anything but practical but believes itself to be more practical than any
other age. (Pablo Picasso)
Success is dangerous. One begins to
copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others.
It leads to sterility. (Pablo Picasso)
Only put off until tomorrow what you
are willing to die having left undone. (Pablo Picasso)
I don't say everything, but I paint
everything. (Pablo Picasso)
Painting is just another way of keeping
a diary. (Pablo Picasso)
Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.
(Pablo Picasso)
I begin with an idea and then it becomes
something else. (Pablo Picasso)
The artist is a receptacle for the
emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth,
from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web. (Pablo Picasso)
Some painters transform the sun into
a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun. (Pablo Picasso)
The purpose of art is washing the
dust of daily life off our souls. (Pablo Picasso)
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)
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.
