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.

revolutionary act. (George Orwell)
You must be the change you wish to see in the world. (Mohandas Gandhi)

Nutrition Information
Introduction
Have you noticed a lot of fruit and vegetables in the supermarkets may
look delicious - big red strawberries, shiny apples and huge peaches - but
taste really bland?! Older folk may remember food from the past with affection,
like when an orange tasted zingy.
Our food in the western world, farmed through centuries of traditional
agriculture, has lost a lot of its nutritional value and minerals. The use
of chemical fertilisers and monocultures strips the soil and kills off important
microbiotic activity. We take and take, without putting enough life back
into the soil.
Our seed stocks have been selected for what looks good (what will sell
best, $$$) - not for taste (which doesn't neccesarily equate to appearance).
Food is complex. Energy exchanges with the seed and sun, earth, rain, air
etc. are mindblowing. Taking nutritional supplements is not the same thing
as nutrition and minerals from food.
What can I do?
Ask yourself: Where does this food come from?
Look at the ingredients listed on food. It can be confronting and confusing,
but in general try to avoid preservatives, artificial colours and flavours.
If you have children, bring them up to do the same.
The 1900 rule is a good rule of thumb. Did this food exist prior to 1900?
Then it probably is ok to eat (not genetically modified).
Eat a variety of fruit and vegetables from organic, sustainable farms and
from the ocean.
Fruit and vegetables are picked unripe, sprayed with chemicals to increase
shelf life and trucked large distances to cities and supermarkets. Try to
eat locally.
Try to source wild foods - catch your own fish, eat kangaroo (if you live
in Australia!), seaweed and ocean vegetables.
Nutrition is an important part of being healthy. Far to often we give little
thought to what we are eating. We eat for pleasure, out of habit. Be aware
of what fuel you are giving your body!
A new paradigm for world agriculture: meeting human needs: Productive,
sustainable, nutritious
'Micronutrient malnutrition (‘Hidden Hunger') now
afflicts over two billion people worldwide, resulting in poor health, low
worker productivity, high rates
of mortality and morbidity, increased rates of chronic diseases (coronary
heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes), and permanent impairment
of cognitive abilities of infants born to micronutrient-deficient mothers.
The
consequences of food system failures include lethargic national development
efforts, continued high population growth rates, and a vicious cycle of
poverty for massive numbers of underprivileged people in all nations.
Our
food systems are failing us globally by not providing enough balanced nutrient
output to meet all the nutritional needs of every person, especially resource-poor
women, infants and children in developing countries. Agriculture is partly
responsible because it has never held nutrient output as an explicit goal
of its production systems. Indeed, many agricultural policies have fostered
a decline in nutrition and diet diversity for the poor in many countries.
Nutrition and health communities are also partly responsible because they
have never considered using agriculture
as a primary tool in their programs directed at alleviating poor nutrition
and ill health globally.
Now is the time for a new paradigm for agriculture
and nutrition. We must consider ways in which agriculture can contribute
to finding sustainable solutions to food system failures through holistic
food-based system approaches, thereby closely linking agricultural production
to improving human health, livelihood and well being. Such action will
stimulate support for agricultural research in many developed countries
because it addresses consumer issues as well as agricultural production
issues and is, therefore, politically supportable.'
"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.
