Introduction (May 2008): 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. We just had to take Science
(Occam's Razor / Simplicity) and Metaphysics
(Dynamic Unity of Reality) seriously and thus describe reality 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. 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, Space is really just another word for God (Brahman, Tao,
Spirit, Energy, Light). What is certain is that discrete and separate 'particles'
do not exist - we are all connected to this space that we all commonly experience.
This underlying unity of reality (God) 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 (we are all one with god / physical reality). Clearly there is still
much to explain about our minds,
our human emotions and moral / spiritual sense. This is no doubt the future
of theology and our understanding of 'God', to explore the properties of this
Space we all find ourselves existing in.
Please
help our world (human society / life on earth) by sharing this knowledge.
Clearly our world is in great trouble, heading rapidly towards self destruction
due to human overpopulation and the resultant destruction of Nature,
climate
change and the pollution of air, land and water (over 80,000 man made
chemicals contaminating everything we consume).
The best solution to these problems is to found
our societies on truth and reality rather than past myths and customs
(which invariably cause harm, our past and present global conflicts confirm
this).
I am not naive to the difficulties that humanity faces. But history shows
that truth eventually triumphs, that there are enough sensible logical people
in the world who appreciate the importance of truth. We are listed as one
of the Top
Philosophy Websites on the Internet with around 500,000 page views each
week, and rank in the top 20 in Google for many academic search terms - so
we just need a bit of help to get in the top five (our aim). Given the
Censorship in Physics / Philosophy of Science Journals (founded on the
standard model / particle physics) the internet is clearly the best way to
get new knowledge visible to the world. A world now in great need of wisdom
from truth and reality.

Cosmology: Exploring the Milky Way Galaxy, other Galaxies,
Stars, Supernovas, & Quasars Brief Summaries / Information & Pictures
The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy which is the home of our Solar System
together with at least 200 billion other stars, their planets, thousands
of clusters and nebulae.
A spiral galaxy can be described as having a bulge in the center, surrounded
by a disk (flat, moving) and spherical halo.
Compared with other galaxies, the Milky Way is very large - its mass is
probably between 750 billion and one trillion solar masses, its diameter
about 100,000 light years.
Galaxies, which are made up of stars, gas and dust, rotate very slowly.
Our Sun, one of many stars in our Milky Way Galaxy, completes a circuit
around the Milky Way every 250 million years.
The term "milky" originates from the hazy band of white light
appearing across the celestial sphere visible from Earth, which comprises
stars and other material lying within the galactic plane. The Greek philosopher,
Democritus (450 BC – 370 BC) was the first known person to claim
that the Milky Way consists of distant stars.

This is a spiral galaxy which is similar to our Milky Way galaxy.
It is 11.6 million light-years away.
Definition of Supernova
A
supernova is a stellar explosion that creates an extremely luminous object
that is initially made of plasma - an ionized form of matter. A supernova
may briefly out-shine its entire host galaxy before fading from view over
several weeks or months. During this brief period of time, the supernova
radiates as much energy as the Sun would emit over about 10 billion years.
The explosion expels much or all of a star's material at a velocity of
up to a tenth the speed of light, driving a shock wave into the surrounding
interstellar gas. This shock wave sweeps up an expanding shell of gas and
dust called a supernova remnant.
What is a Quasar?
Modern physics understands quasars to be extremely bright
and distant active nucleus of a young galaxy. They were first identified
as being high-redshift (thus very distant) sources of electromagnetic energy,
including radio waves and visible light that were point-like similar to
stars rather than extended sources similar to galaxies.
However Halton
Arp clearly shows in his book 'Seeing Red' that these supposedly very
distant objects are actually part of much closer constellations - proving
that their high redshift is not related to distance and thus contradicting
the standard 'Big Bang' theory of cosmology. His work is now suppressed
in the USA (he was banned from using their telescopes) and he works at
the Max Planck institute in Germany. A sad insight into the state of modern
physics and its suppression of the truth to maintain existing beliefs over
empirical facts.

The 'doomed' star Eta Carinae - 8,000 light-years
away, 10 billion miles diameter. Eta Carinae exploded about 150 years
ago, when it became one of the brightest stars in the southern sky.
It survived the outburst, even though the star released as much visible
light as a supernova explosion.
Two spiral galaxies pass by each other.
The larger galaxy is NGC 2207 (on the left),
and the smaller one on the right is IC 2163.
Star V838 Monocerotis (V838 Mon)
This photo shows the effect called 'the light echo' in which light
from the stellar explosion moves outwards and the surrounding dust
is illuminated.

"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)
