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.

History of Agriculture Human Evolution: Diet, Sedentary
Lifestyles & Family Structure. Sustainable Farming, Technology, Crops, Soil Nutrition, Nature
'The Worst Mistake In The History Of The Human Race' by Jared
Diamond. On Evolution, Diet & Agriculture.
'Recent discoveries suggest that the adoption of agriculture,
supposedly our most decisive step toward a better life, was in many ways
a catastrophe from which we have never recovered. With agriculture came
the gross social and sexual inequality, the disease and despotism,that
curse our existence.
Crops and Nutrition
.. While farmers concentrate on high-carbohydrate crops like rice
and potatoes, the mix of wild plants and animals in the diets of surviving
hunter-gatherers provides more protein and a better balance of other nutrients.
In one study, the Bushmen's average daily food intake (during a month when
food was plentiful) was 2,140 calories and ninety-three grams of protein,
considerably greater than the recommended daily allowance for people of
their size.
Agriculture Bad for Health
.. There are at least three sets of reasons to explain the findings
that agriculture was bad for health.
First, hunter-gatherers enjoyed a varied diet, while early farmers obtained
most of their food from one or a few starchy crops. The farmers gained
cheap calories at the cost of poor nutrition.
Second, because of dependence on a limited number of crops, farmers ran
the risk of starvation if one crop failed.
Finally, the mere fact that agriculture encouraged people to clump together
in crowded societies, many of which then carried on trade with other crowded
societies, led to the spread of parasites and infectious disease.
Farming, Sedentary Lifestyle & Family
.. Besides malnutrition, starvation, and epidemic diseases, farming
helped bring another curse upon humanity: deep class divisions. Hunter-gatherers
have little or no stored food, and no concentrated food sources, like an
orchard or a herd of cows: they live off the wild plants and animals they
obtain each day. Therefore, there can be no kings, no class of social parasites
who grow fat on food seized from others. Only in a farming population could
a healthy, nonproducing elite set itself above the disease-ridden masses.
.. Farming could support many more people than hunting, albeit
with a poorer quality of life. (Population densities of hunter gatherers
are rarely over one person per ten square miles, while farmers average
100 time that.) Partly, this is because a field planted entirely in edible
crops lets one feed far more mouths than a forest with scattered edible
plants. Partly, too, it's because nomadic hunter-gatherers have to keep
their children spaced at four-year intervals by extended nursing and other
means, since a mother must carry her toddler until it's old enough to keep
up with the adults. Because farm women don't have that burden, they can
and often do bear a child every two years.
.. Hunter-gatherers practiced the most successful and longest
lasting lifestyle in human history. In contrast, we're still struggling
with the mess into which agriculture has tumbled us, and it's unclear whether
we can solve it.'

"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.
