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)

Hi Everyone,
We get a lot of nice
emails (which are greatly appreciated). However, we find that a lot
of our day is now taken up replying to individuals when we really need to
concentrate on finishing content for the site. So for a while we are going
to immerse ourselves in work on the website - and replies to emails will
be infrequent (and perhaps a bit abrupt). Sorry if this sounds mean spirited
- we do appreciate people writing, but only have so much time.
For the next 3 months we will be filming short videos on the main subjects
of this site. We hope that they will make things a bit easier to understand!
Once this is completed we will be working on a documentary
film (having just spent $15,000 dollars on the latest film quality digital
video camera). We are working with an independent director / producer from
Los Angeles and should have something in production by late next year.
And we do realise that the quality of pages is a bit variable - most of
the main pages will be completed (re-written more simply) by the end of
2010.
PPS - We are both working full time on this website at the moment (it is
undergoing a radical cleanup and simplification of content!). We would really
appreciate any comments on the latest changes (e.g. website design &
navigation, style of writing, truth).
Particularly these pages;
It is difficult writing on truth and reality in our current skeptical busy
postmodern
world of 'No Absolute Truths'. However, given the current state of our
world we cannot help but think that these are the two most important subjects
for Humanity to correctly understand (as the foundation for wisdom in a
world that now desperately needs wise guidance).
The letters
we receive are invariably positive, intelligent and kind (and at times
have very useful information and contacts) which is greatly appreciated.
So thank you for writing to us, it really does help maintain our enthusiasm.
Our website has been coming along in leaps and bounds in Google - it now
has pages on many of the central subjects of philosophy,
physics
and metaphysics
ranking in the top 10 to 20 in Google, and the website gets between 50,000
and 100,000 page views a day (depending on Google!). And while this is all
very exciting (and was our aim), it has just happened much more quickly
than we imagined which is causing us some distress, since many pages still
need considerable work. (And we dislike the thought that people will be
put off the Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) due to our poor presentation
of the subject matter.)
Anyway, just a short note to let you know that we are continuing to work
hard on improving this website. For those who wish to help please add pages
you like to the social networking
sites, or add some content into a blog / forum. (The success of this
website / knowledge really does depend on you - the people who use this
site and respect what we are trying to do.)
Thanks!
(Plato, Republic, 380BC)
And those whose hearts are fixed on Reality itself
deserve the title of Philosophers.
(Michel de Montaigne, 1533 - 1592)
Since philosophy is the art which teaches us
how to live, and since children need to learn
it as much as we do at other ages, why do we not instruct
them in it?
(David Hume, 1737)
And though the philosopher may live remote from business,
the genius of philosophy, if carefully cultivated by several,
must gradually diffuse itself throughout the whole society,
and bestow a similar correctness on every art and calling.
(Arthur Schopenhauer, 1788 - 1860)
The task is not so much to see what no one yet has seen, but to think
what no body yet has thought about that which everyone sees.
(Max Planck, 1900)
A new scientific truth does not triumph
by convincing its opponents and making them see the
light, but rather because its opponents eventually die,
and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
But in truth I know nothing about the philosophy
of education except this: that the greatest and the most important difficulty
known to human learning seems to lie in that area which treats how to bring
up children and how to educate them.
(Michel de Montaigne, 1533 - 1592)
For the incredibly great majority of men are
by their nature absolutely incapable of any but material aims; they cannot
even comprehend any others. Accordingly, the pursuit of truth alone is a
pursuit far too lofty and eccentric for us to expect that all or many, or
indeed even a mere few, will sincerely take part in it. ...
But life is short, and truth works far and lives long: let us speak the
truth.
(Arthur Schopenhauer, 1788 - 1860)
Nothing seems of more importance, towards erecting a firm
system of sound and real knowledge, which may be proof against the assaults
of scepticism, than to lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what
is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning
the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long
as we have not fixed the meaning of those words. (George Berkeley,
1710)
"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.
