(Aristotle,
340BC) Suppose, then, that all men were sick or deranged, save one or two of
them who were healthy and of right mind. It would then be the latter two who
would be thought to be sick and deranged and the former not!
(Machiavelli,
1513) There is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, more
dangerous to manage than the creation of a new system. The innovator has the
enmity of all who profit by the preservation of the old system and only lukewarm
defenders by those who would gain by the new system.
(Galileo
Galilei) I wish, my dear Kepler, that we could have a good laugh
together at the extraordinary stupidity of the mob. What do you think of
the foremost philosophers of this University? In spite of my oft-repeated
efforts and invitations, they have refused, with the obstinacy of a glutted
adder, to look at the planets or Moon or my telescope.
(Max
Planck) 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.
We need help in three ways - improving knowledge of the WSM, getting this knowledge considered by the world, and funding / donations to help cover website costs and employing people to help with this work.
Describing Reality at a fundamental level is very simple. Basically
matter does not exist as 'particles' but rather as spherical wave structures
in Space which give rise to the appearance of 'particles' at their Wave-Centers.
However, when you consider the history of Physics over several thousand years,
both theoretically and experimentally, you come to realise that there is a
lot to explain. Further, as these wave structures interact with all other matter
in our finite spherical universe (around 1080 spherical standing
waves / wave center 'particles') then the wave interactions are obviously very
complex and hard
to mathematically
quantify (as required by Mathematical Physics). Thus to present convincing
knowledge to Humanity on the Wave Structure of Matter and how it explains and
solves the current problems of Physics and Philosophy is really the work of
many people, with specialist knowledge in a diversity of subjects. To help
develop this knowledge we have set up a Forum where people can discuss and
hopefully improve this work on the Wave Structure of Matter.
Please see;
http://www.physics-philosophy-metaphysics.com/forum/index.php
Basically, to rank well on Google / Internet requires links from other websites pointing to your pages. So this is where we obviously need help. The purpose of this page (below) is to provide you with information on how to build good links (with correct use of keywords) and provide some examples of places on the internet where you can add content (pictures, quotes, arguments for WSM, your own comments) and at the same time add a link back to the relevant page on the Wave Structure of Matter.
We are currently working on the Physics pages (Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity, Quantum Physics / Wave Mechanics, Cosmology & Problems of the Big Bang Theory) so if some of you can direct your efforts to helping these pages rank better (by adding links to them with correct keywords in link) then this would be greatly appreciated. These pages already rank in the top 30 for most main search terms (down from top 200 twelve months ago), so it will not take much to lift them up to top ten ranking in Google (over the next 3 to 6 months hopefully!). If you click around the anchor links (above each page heading) then I think it is pretty self explanatory as to the different things you can do to help.
We recently received a donation of $28,000 Australian dollars (10,000 Pounds) from a very kind gentleman who appreciates the importance of truth and reality (philosophy and physics) to help improve the state of our world. This has been wonderful for us as it has allowed us to employ a nice young man to help us with our work. It has also made us realise that there are probably other people who are busy but would like to help financially. To donate money please use the Paypal link below (you can use either your existing paypal account, or credit card if you do not have a paypal account).
Thanks. We really appreciate your help!

This website has been online for 20 months and in January, 2005 we averaged
about 10,000 page views per day. However, to our great surprise our number
of visitors recently doubled (since the Google update in early February, 2005)
to around 20,000 page views per day. And in late April we discovered that our
website is now ranked number 4 out of all Philosophy sites on the Internet.
See Alexa details: http://www.alexa.com:
Top Philosophy Sites on Internet

We are now also ranked in top 50,000 sites on the Internet
The Website contains roughly 300 Webpages on the subjects of Metaphysics, Philosophy (Ancient Greek, Indian & Western Philosophy), Physics (Einstein's Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, Cosmology), Theology & Morality, Evolution, Health, Politics and Education. The work is founded on the ideas of many wonderful minds from human history, and there are probably over 10,000 quotes from many hundreds of famous philosophers and scientists (including lots of lovely pictures which you are welcome to use).
The aim of these pages is to show how the Wave Structure of Matter explains
and solves (in a very simple sensible way) many of the current problems of
human knowledge caused by the incomplete 'Particle' and 'Field' conception
of matter in 'Space-Time'.
We continue to work very long hours on this website (it still needs a lot of
work!) and expect to greatly improve its content and increase its page views
to about 30,000 to 50,000 per day by the end of 2005.

After several years of experimenting with web sites and individual pages on the internet I have a pretty good idea of what is required to get pages on the Wave Structure of Matter in the top ten search results in google for the main subjects of Physics, Philosophy and Metaphysics (many are already in the top 30 out of several million). There are about 100 main search terms to target, related to WSM Articles on Truth, Reality, Physics, Philosophy, Metaphysics, Politics, Education, Evolution Ecology Nature, Health, etc.
To begin we are targeting the main physics subjects, i.e.
Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity
Quantum Physics (Quantum Theory / Wave Mechanics)
Cosmology
The Big Bang Theory.
The following table shows these main Physics pages (which we are currently working on - and want to try and get some links to) with relevant statistics & main keywords / search terms for each page.

These pages currently average about 15 page views a day, so we effectively get about 300 page views a day in the various subjects relating to Quantum Physics (which we figure is about 5% of the total searches each day on the Internet for this subject including searches for quantum theorists). |

Note 1 - Google actually uses several different databases,
and the algorithms seem to be in a state of change as well, so the search results
do jump around a bit from day to day / week to week. Further, every few months
there is a major database update (Google Dance) where you tend to get substantial
changes in ranking. So the above results are rough averages for the past month.
Where there is a '-' it means that the page was not in the top 1,000 search
results as determined by google
rankings.
Note 2 - If you have an interest in one of our (many) other pages and wish to promote those (build links to them, discuss them) then please see our Index / Home Page which has a complete list of all 280 pages on website (or use the search function below to find specific pages). Links to any of these other pages is fantastic and greatly appreciated (we are just trying to focus on most important pages to begin, and clearly the central theories of physics are a good place to start, and these pages do explain and solve their problems, i.e. they are not trivial!).
It is useful to begin with a summary of the main factors affecting Page Rank and Position in Google Search results. This knowledge can then be applied when you build your own website or if you are planning on building pages on, or adding links to, the Wave Structure of Matter (which we obviously encourage).
For any page there are two main factors that determine Position
in Google Search Results: Content of Page - Internal; and Links
to Page - External (determines Google Page Rank). My guesstimate is
they equally contribute to final position in Search Engine Rankings.
These can then each be subdivided into two further parts, as follows;
i) Title of Page - 25% of ranking
ii) Content of Main Page - Mainly Heading and first page content
(link text is also important) - 25% of ranking
i) Total Links to Page, - determines Google Page Rank - 25%
of ranking
ii) Subject Specific Links to Page - related to actual Search
Term - 25% of ranking
I shall use as an example the keyword 'Quantum Theory'.
When creating a new page, there are ten main areas where this keyword should
be used.
i) HTML Page Name - e.g. http:www.anywebsite.com/quantum-theory.htm (Note use of lower case letters and hyphen)
ii) Title - e.g. Physics: Quantum Theory: Wave Structure of Matter
iii) Page Heading - e.g. <h1>Physics: Quantum Theory: Wave Structure of Matter</h1> (Using <h1> html code)
iv) Sub Heading - e.g. <h2>From current Quantum Theory Paradigm (and Paradox) of Particles, Fields, Probability Waves, and Particle / Wave Duality to Real Waves in Physical Space. A Simple Solution to the Strangeness of Quantum Theory.</h2>
v) Page Text - Try to use keyword "Quantum Theory" about 5 times in first page of Text. Try to also break it up so both "Quantum" and "Theory" are used separately.
vi) Images - Name images "quantum-theory-anything.jpg" (gif's are OK too). Most of our images are 80 pixels by 80 pixels, and we use Photoshop to 'save them for web' at about 2 Kilo Bytes (i.e. try to avoid using large images that make pages slow to download).
vii) Images Alt Text - All images have an option to add 'Alt Image Text' (Alt being short for Alternative!). Below is a sample of a keyword optimised image (and very nice scientist!) followed by the html image code.
What
we observe as material bodies and forces are nothing but shapes and variations
in the structure of space. Particles are just schaumkommen (appearances). The
world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject
and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken
down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences, for this barrier
does not exist. (Erwin Schrodinger, on Quantum Theory / Wave Mechanics)
<img src="http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Images/quantum-theory-schrodinger.jpg" width="80" height="80" align="left" alt="Quantum Theory: Erwin Schrodinger: 'What we observe as material bodies and forces are nothing but shapes and variations in the structure of space. Particles are just schaumkommen (appearances).' Erwin Schrodinger, on Quantum Theory / Wave Mechanics.">
viii) Link Text - If you add a link to one of our pages
it is very important to use the keywords in the actual link. Because we name
our pages using correct keywords then you can normally just use the http address.
For our Quantum Theory page the link / http address is;
http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Physics-Quantum-Theory-Mechanics.htm
However you can also make links using html code, e.g. the above link could
be made as follows;
Quantum
Physics / Quantum Theory
Where the html code looks like this;
<a href="http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Physics-Quantum-Theory-Mechanics.htm" title="From
current Quantum Theory Paradigm (and Paradox) of Particles, Fields, Probability
Waves, and Particle / Wave Duality to Real Waves in Physical Space. A Simple
Solution to the Strangeness of Quantum Theory.">Quantum Physics / Quantum
Theory</a>
ix) Link Title Text - You will notice when you mouse over the above two quantum theory links you get a small window appearing with the 'Title' text (similar to Image Alt Text). It is useful to add this title text which helps Google (and people) to more accurately determine the page content that the link points to. Try to get keywords in title text once or twice.
Basically the last two points on Link text are the most critical. i.e. That the links that point to the relevant page include keywords for that page, both in the link text and in the link title text.
The two other obvious factors which greatly influences the value of external / backward links are;
i) The Page Rank of the page the link is on - higher is obviously better -
PR 4 are OK, PR 5 are good, PR 6 (and above) are excellent.
ii) The number of external Links on that page (the lower the better.)
So if you can find a page rank 6 page with only a few external links and can add a keyword optimised link to one of our pages then we would think you are a complete legend! In reality, most pages that you can add links to average around PR 4 and might have 20 other external links on them - however, if the links are keyword optimised to the page they link to then they are very useful, particularly if a group of people can do this on 50 to 100 of these pages over a year (and much more benefit is gained if pages with links are from different websites!).
http://toolbar.google.com - We use the Google Toolbar frequently, both for its easy search function (and Google Search controls about 70% of Internet search results) and it is also useful to know the page rank of a webpage / homepage to get some idea of the quality of the website (and to compare our pages against others!). Also has popup blocker, search page, translate, etc.
http://download.alexa.com/index.cgi?p=Det_W_b_40_T1 - The Alexa Toolbar (owned by Amazon) is useful because it tells you the total traffic (page views) for the entire website (whereas Google Page Rank is for individual pages, and does not provide traffic details). Thus if you want to buy something on the internet (or find web hosting etc.) it is handy to know how big the website is in terms of traffic, and thus whether it is a reputable large business or not. The Alexa Rank is actually a ranking of the website traffic compared against other websites, thus Yahoo, which is the biggest website in terms of visitors, ranks #1. To convert to number of page views a reasonable result is obtained by dividing 700,000,000 by the Alexa Rank. e.g. A year ago our website had an Alexa Rank of around 700,000 which equates to about 1,000 page views a day. We now have an Alexa Rank of around 40,000 which equates to 17,500 page views per day.
There are numerous other Toolbars, but we find the above two the most important and useful.
http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/ - Very useful webpage for finding how many people search a particular search term / keyword.
http://www.googlerankings.com/index.php - Again, this is a very useful webpage that tells you how your website ranks in Google for a particular keyword / search term. I use it frequently to see how pages are ranking, and by systematically changing one thing at a time on page, over time I can see how these changes affect where the page comes up in Google Search Results (makes optimising pages a science rather than mere guesswork).
http://www.searchengineworld.com/cgi-bin/kwda.cgi - Excellent Keyword Density Analyzer of Website Pages.
http://validator.w3.org/ - The Internet Authority on Valid HTML Code. We check our pages to make sure that our HTML code is error free. This may help in how pages rank in Google, but it is also important to maintaining quality code on the Internet (so that pages function correctly in various browsers etc.).
http://labs.google.com/ - I have enormous respect for Google, and also appreciate how important they have become in terms of what people read on the Internet, which ultimately determines the evolution of human knowledge. This site has some of their latest offerings which are interesting, intelligent and often very useful.
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordSandbox - Enables you to input search terms / keywords and Google will provide a list of related terms. Designed to help people who use Google Adwords, but also useful for finding what people search on the Internet.
http://www.about-adsense.com/adsense-web-tool.html - Preview which Google AdWords will initially be shown on your Web Page with this free AdSense web tool.
http://www-db.stanford.edu/~backrub/google.html - Article by Google developers Sergey Brin and Larry Page while students of Computer Science at Stanford University - 'The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine'.
http://www.internet-advertising-marketing-manual.com/google-optimization.htm - A very good article on Website Optimisation, Promotion and Ranking for Google with good links (can check when Google is updating Database i.e. 'Google Dance').
http://www.apromotionguide.com/google.html - Good article on Website Optimisation for better Google Page Rank / Search Results.
http://www.gritechnologies.com/tools/spider.go - Their 'POODLE' spider mimics the Google Spider and shows how spider friendly your website is and how it will appear in Google. Very useful.
The aim of this section is to encourage people to build a free (or cheap) website and add content on the Wave Structure of Matter (which you can easily copy from our website) and also add links back to our website! But to have any real affect you need to get some links from reasonable websites pointing to your new webpage (otherwise it will not be spidered by Google and its content will not be seen and links will not be counted). All of the websites below offer free hosting, and you can get paid hosting with more features for around $5.00 a month.
http://geocities.yahoo.com/ - Geocities is now owned by Yahoo and is one of the biggest free website hosting places on the Internet (Google page rank 9, Alexa rank 600).
http://www.tripod.lycos.com/ - Very reputable and large website that offers free website hosting. (Google page rank 8, Alexa rank 74).
http://angelfire.lycos.com/ - They write: Here's what you get for free: Site Building & File Management Tools. 20MB Disk Space. Blog Builder. Photo Album Builder. Sign Up for FREE Today. (Google page rank 7, Alexa rank 74).
http://www.bravenet.com/ - They write: Welcome to Bravenet, the Web's #1 Site for FREE Web tools. We take pride in offering the fastest, most customizable and user friendly tools for your Website. If you don't have a Website, get one here - for FREE! We have everything you need - from start to finish. With 50MB of Storage, 1.5 GB of Bandwidth and our Easy Website Builders. Join our community of over 6 million webmasters! (Google page rank 8, Alexa rank 360).
http://www.fortunecity.com/ - They write: FREE Web Space: Free ad supported web hosting! 25 megs of storage and a secure FTP access to share your hobby with the world. FREE Blog: Share your thoughts and inspirations with the world via our easy to use Blog! FREE Sub-Domain: Free Domain Name Redirect from our friends at V3.com. You get your own domain name. FREE MyPhotoAlbum: Share all of your digital photos online FREE! Easily upload your digital photos to your own online photo album. (Google page rank 8, Alexa rank 1,400).
The following websites are much smaller than the above five but may also be useful.
http://www.buildwebsite4u.com/building/free-web-hosting.shtml - A nice professional looking website that has links to a small number of free website hosting places on the Internet. They write, The word free is enclosed in quotation marks because all the sites that offer free website hosting really don't. You may not have to pay in hard currency, but one way or another you do pay. Most free website hosting companies force you to place banner or pop-up ads on all your pages in exchange for the service. Others enforce you to receive email with ads from their sponsors. Many companies don't allow you to build free websites for commercial use. In addition to this, most free website hosting accounts come with a lot of restrictions making them unsuitable for many people. Things such as limited storage, lack of email, no FTP and CGI support, no domain hosting are just a few of the problems that you'll face if you want to make a website for free. However it may prove to be useful for getting pages on the Wave Structure of Matter onto the internet and creating a few links back to our website.
http://www.maxpages.com/ - They write, Create your own FREE Website! Site Statistics & FREE Storage space for every site! FREE Template Gallery, Ad-FREE Editing!
http://www.100best-free-web-space.com/ - Interesting website with loads of information on web hosting (both paid and free). They write, The Truth About Free Web Hosting. For the past five years we have reviewed, researched, and tested hundreds of free web hosts. We've also read countless user reviews based on actual user experiences. So what have we learned? Good free web hosting services are hard to find!
http://buildfree.org/ - Another free website builder that looks a bit 'spammy' but may be worth a try.
Does anyone have any other ideas / knowledge of reputable places where you
can build free websites (without being swamped by crap advertising)? Please Email us.
Wiki means fast in Hawaiian, and relates to the fact that anyone on the Internet can use their browser to edit pages. The most famous Wiki is Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia that now gets several million visitors a day (it is quite remarkable that this wiki software has allowed people from all over the world to build the biggest online encyclopedia while maintaining pretty good quality). So yes, we would love people to add knowledge of the Wave Structure of Matter into Wikipedia (I will be doing some of this over the next 12 months).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page - Currently there is only one page in Wikipedia on the Wave Structure of Matter. This is both a shame and a great opportunity! Our website has a huge amount of quality content on the history and evolution of Physics, Philosophy and Metaphysics from the past 2,500 years (with many quotes and images - all free to copy and use) so there is more than enough material to enable people to build good quality pages on wikipedia founded on the Wave Structure of Matter (or add to existing pages and also add a link to WSM).
http://www.wikipedia.org/ - Has links to foreign language Wikipedia's that mirror the English Wikipedia site (ten different languages). Hopefully some knowledge of the Wave Structure of Matter can be added to these foreign language wikipedia sites.
http://www.wikimedia.org/ - Has links to 8 wiki websites (most important are wiktionary, wikiquote, wikibooks, wikinews).
There are now many wikis on the internet so if you find any that allow work on the Wave Structure of Matter can you please add some content, and also email us so that we can add it to the list here. Thanks.
Finally, I have recently set up a wiki for the Wave Structure of Matter (on the subjects of physics, philosophy and metaphysics of Space). We use Mediawiki (same software as wikipedia). At the moment the wiki is empty, over the next 12 months I will slowly add some content, but others are more than welcome to help. See;
http://www.physics-philosophy-metaphysics.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page - By describing Reality from the most simple foundations possible, One Infinite Eternal thing, Space, existing as a Wave Medium for Spherical Standing Waves that form matter, the WSM explains and solves many of the fundamental problems of physics, philosophy and metaphysics.
Blogs are popular at the moment and Google rates them highly because they
have fresh relevant content. It would be great if people could add comments
and links to the WSM on other people's blogs (they normally have an add comments
option), or set up your own blogs and add some nice content, comments and links
on the Wave Structure of Matter (we have lots of nice philosophy images and
quotes that you can easily use that are pretty cool.)
Hopefully the information below will help get you started 'blogging'!
http://www.blogger.com/start -
Blogger is owned by Google, is in top 200 websites on Internet (around 10 million
page views a day - Google Page Rank 8, Alexa Rank 200), and because pages change
quite a lot as people add blogs Google (which likes new content) seems to rate
them highly. Basically Blogger is a great website for creating Web-Logs.
It is also useful to download the Google
Toolbar, which has a button that allows you to automatically add a blog
from any website that you visit.
http://www.bloglines.com/ - Bloglines has recently been purchased by Ask Jeeves search engine, and is one of the bigger blogs on the internet (Google Page Rank 8, Alexa Rank 1,600 which equates to about a million page views a day). They write; Bloglines is the most comprehensive, integrated service for searching, subscribing, publishing and sharing news feeds, blogs, and rich Web content. It's free and easy-to-use.
http://www.blogster.com/default.asp - A smaller web log site but looks pretty good.
http://www.hello.com/ -
Useful free software that allows you to automatically add images to your blog
(works with Google's Blogger).
You can also
add images manually using html code. Simply find any image on our website,
e.g. Albert Einstein, and then right click on image, select 'properties', and
copy http address / URL of image and write it as html code
in your blog as follows;
<img src="http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Images/Einstein.jpg">
(We have used the image address of the above Einstein picture (obviously) so
this code would change depending on image used.)
I don't have much knowledge on advanced Blog use, but here are a few websites that seem fairly good.
http://www.lights.com/weblogs/tools.html - Large list of Blog tools with links to sites.
http://www.aripaparo.com/archive/000632.html - Huge list of directories that you can submit your blog to, help get it seen on internet and build up inbound links (which is important for rank).
http://www.masternewmedia.org/rss/top55/ - List of Blog Directories, RSS Feeds and software.
http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/On_the_Web/Weblogs/
Google / DMOZ directories (above) are always useful for finding good sites and information.
So we hope you might get a blog organised, add it to some directories if you want to get seen, and then hopefully blog some of our webpages and grab a nice image and quote or comment, stick it in your blog and help add links to the Wave Structure of Matter in the process. (And Blogger.com with Google Toolbar is the easiest way to go I think!)
Forums are an interesting place to discuss ideas. However, if you are posting
on a new subject like the Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) then you will probably
cop a bit a 'flak' as most people will immediately criticise new knowledge,
few will take the time to understand it.
To avoid this it is perhaps better to take some quotes / comments from one
of the WSM pages, and then just post them (with link back to page) and ask
if anyone has any thoughts / comments on this WSM perspective of things. But
all in all forums are a great place to post knowledge while also building good
links back to WSM websites.
Below is a list of some of the most relevant forums on the internet. There
are many more, just search in Google for Forums and any other relevant keyword
(e.g. physics forums, philosophy forums, evolution forums, ethics forums, science
forums, etc.)
Note: The numbers in brackets are Google page rank, and Alexa rank.
(Alexa rank of 100,000 equates to about 5,000 visitors /day, Alexa rank of
10,000 equates to about 40,000 visitors a day)

Geoff Haselhurst (September 29th, 2005)
After moderating a Wave Structure of Matter Yahoo Group for past 14 months (which is now in top 30 out of 1,000 Yahoo physics groups) I have mixed feelings about discussion groups. They are good for sharing knowledge and ideas. They are bad in that they tend to get dominated by a few people with strong opinions (often without good foundations!), and discussions can get a bit heated (which I strongly dislike). Also pages in archives do not show well in Google search results, and it is hard to find earlier posts, so it is a bit of a waste.
But we would love for people to join different groups and introduce people
to the Wave Structure of Matter.
Useful subjects would include Science / Physics, Society / Philosophy, Religion
/ Pantheism, ... See;
http://groups.msn.com/ - Home page MSN Groups (I have not used them, so can't add much.)
http://groups-beta.google.com/ - Google Groups (I have not used them either, but i tend to trust that Google software / sites will be smart.)
http://www.best-web-directories.com/free-directories.htm - Excellent list of free Directories with some details.
http://www.best-web-directories.com/paid-directories.htm - Excellent list of paid Directories with some details (for our use).
Under Construction - Will add most important directories here over next month.

If you search the Internet you find that there are a few websites that invite
you to add a link back to your website. So perhaps some people could browse
around and add links back to http://www.spaceandmotion.com and subject specific
pages on this website.
Try searching different combinations of;
Add URL, Add Link, Submit URL, Submit Link, Guestbook, (and also try including
further terms like Science, Physics, Philosophy, Metaphysics, Truth, Reality).
There is a real problem with censorship in the Academic system. Here is a short article by 1973 Nobel Prize physicist Brian Josephson, lamenting censorship on the physics preprint archive arXiv.org.
A website has been setup on this problem of academic censorship at http://archivefreedom.org and has a nice quote from Louis de Broglie;
The
history of science teaches that the greatest advances in the scientific domain
have been achieved by bold thinkers who perceived new and fruitful approaches
that others failed to notice. If one had taken the ideas of these scientific
geniuses who have been the promoters of modern science and submitted them
to committees of specialists, there is no doubt that the latter would have
viewed them as extravagant and would have discarded them for the very reason
of their originality and profundity. As a matter of fact, the battles waged,
for example by Fresnel and by Pasteur suffice to prove that some of these
pioneers ran into a lack of understanding from the side of eminent scholars
which they had to fight with vigor before emerging as the winners. More recently,
in the domain of theoretical physics, of which I can speak with knowledge,
the magnificent novel conceptions of Lorentz and Planck, and particularly
Einstein also clashed with the incomprehension of eminent scientists. The
new ideas here triumphed; but, in proportion as the organization of research
becomes more rigid, the danger increases that new and fruitful ideas will
be unable to develop freely.
Let us state in a few words the conclusion to be drawn from the foregoing.
While, by the very force of circumstances, research and teaching are weighted
down by administrative structures and financial concerns and by the heavy armature
of strict regulations and planning, it becomes more indispensable than ever
to preserve the freedom of scientific research and the freedom of initiative
for the original investigators, because these freedoms have always been and
will always remain the most fertile sources for the grand progress of science.
(Nobel Laureate Louis de Broglie, April 25, 1978)
And as Max Planck wrote;
(Max
Planck) 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.
If you are within the academic system and believe that the Wave Structure of Matter deserves to be considered by Scientists, then please try and help.
It is an unfortunate fact that academic journals seem to have an inbuilt censorship of new ideas that contradict existing paradigms. This simply reflect human nature, and ultimately these organisations are run by people with pre-existing ideas. However, we live in hope, and there are the small minority within the academic system who realise the errors of the current system and will no doubt be sympathetic to new knowledge if it abides by the rules of Science (as the Wave Structure of Matter does). So it would be great if people submitted articles on the Wave Structure of Matter to these journals.
Below are a few of the main academic Journals (and some of the more fringe alternative). Please email us if you know of any more that may be useful.

To get knowledge of the Wave Structure of Matter into the world it is obviously important to get main pages translated into major world languages. So if anyone can help with this please write to us. If necessary we can even pay a bit for this service (though we be poor philosophers who live very simply!).
Altavista has a webpage that offers some basic translation services. See;
http://world.altavista.com/ - Babel Fish Translation. Translate a block of text - Enter up to 150 words.
http://www.wikipedia.org/ - Has links to foreign language Wikipedia's that mirror the English Wikipedia site (ten different languages). So it would be great if people could put knowledge of the Wave Structure of Matter into some of these foreign language wikipedia sites.
(Rachel
Carson) We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert
Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been
traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with
great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road - the
one 'less traveled by' - offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination
that assures the preservation of the earth. The choice, after all, is ours
to make.
(Margaret
Mead) Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change
the world, indeed it is the only thing that ever has.
I realise that some people may think that we are trying to develop a kind of cult by building a movement on the Internet that supports & promotes the Wave Structure of Matter. We have no interest in cults, and believe very much in being independent individuals. However, I am a philosopher of Science who happens to think that truth is very important to Humanity. And conversely, while we have errors in the foundations of our knowledge (which we do, and this is obvious to anyone who studies the Sciences) then these errors will flow through into all aspects of life and society causing conflict and harm along the way (our current world). So this is not a cult, it is a movement of people who care about truth and sincerity in Science, who recognise the problems that both human knowledge and human society currently face, and would like to contribute to improving both these things. And with the Internet it is now possible for you to make a substantial difference (as our Site Statistics show).
I am certainly not naive as to the difficulties of getting new knowledge considered by the world (as some of the quotes forcefully explain). Thus I also realise that it is the next generation who will most appreciate the Wave Structure of Matter, and I feel some considerable responsibility to ensure this knowledge is visible on the Internet such that they can consider it fairly (most top academic journals will not publish work on the Wave Structure of Matter, which is both a shame and a sad indictment of the academic standards and prejudices that new knowledge faces).
On a more positive note, after Google's last update (Feb. 3rd
2005) the Site Statistics for our website http://www.spaceandmotion.com nearly
doubled (we now get 16,000 to 20,000 page views per day).
Significantly, most of our pages now rank in top 30 for main subjects in Physics,
Philosophy and Metaphysics (we are Top 20 for main search
terms in both Quantum
Theory and Albert
Einstein's Theory of Relativity which is remarkable!).
So I am quite confident that within a year (with only a small amount of help)
this website will rank in top ten for many major subjects, will be getting
50,000 to 100,000 page views a day, and will have succeeded in making the Wave
Structure of Matter at least visible to the world.
And I think that a large part of this success is because of you, the people
'out there' who read this, find it sensible and at least worthy of consideration,
and have added links back to pages as they discuss them in forums, blogs, etc.
So thanks everybody - all the nice letters of encouragement and kindness - both Karene and I are very touched. We are working hard on the website to try and ensure that your efforts are not wasted, and that this knowledge of the Wave Structure of Matter is presented carefully, intelligently, and hopefully in a way that is also aesthetically pleasing (thank Karene for that!).
Following this (rambling) introduction there are five points
that I briefly summarise about the evolution of human knowledge and its relationship
to society to explain why I think this knowledge of WSM is not only important,
but why it will also succeed. Certainly from my experience over several years
of using and studying the internet and the Search Engines (mainly Google -
and I have been very thorough in my research and experiments!), it is actually
relatively easy for a small number of people to make a big difference (as our
site stats now seem to confirm).
And while I am still a little amazed by our latest results, it gives us great
confidence that not only are we succeeding, but much more rapidly than we ever
imagined. So I hope that quite a few of you take some pride and encouragement
from this (it is nice to enjoy success with others).
In ending, I would like to emphasise that in these early days your help (and this 'how to help' page) are central to the success of this website and the emerging knowledge of the Wave Structure of Matter on the Internet.
I leave you with some quotes (below) that are relevant to the
article which follows on the evolution of knowledge and society.
You can also just browse around the headings and you will find many interesting
and useful places on the Internet to explore (and build links!) and we also
have some cool website tools that will be very useful to anyone who uses the
Internet (which is a most fascinating place, with incredible potential for
Humanity as I see things).
If you have any ideas / comments please write to us. (And you
will get a nice interesting letter back I expect!)
Thanks,
Geoff Haselhurst, Karene

(Albert
Einstein) 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.
(Erwin
Schrodinger) What we observe as material bodies and forces are nothing
but shapes and variations in the structure of space. Particles
are just schaumkommen (appearances). ... The world is given to me
only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object
are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken
down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences, for this
barrier does not exist. ... Let me say at the outset, that in this discourse,
I am opposing not a few special statements of quantum mechanics held today
(1950s), I am opposing as it were the whole of it, I am opposing its basic
views that have been shaped 25 years ago, when Max Born put
forward his probability interpretation, which was accepted
by almost everybody. ... I don't like it, and I'm sorry I ever had anything
to do with it. ... The scientist only imposes two things, namely truth and
sincerity, imposes them upon himself and upon other scientists.
(David
Bohm, Wholeness and the Implicate Order, 1980) The notion that all
these fragments is separately existent is evidently an illusion, and this
illusion cannot do other than lead to endless conflict and confusion. Indeed,
the attempt to live according to the notion that the fragments are really
separate is, in essence, what has led to the growing series of extremely
urgent crises that is confronting us today. Thus, as is now well known, this
way of life has brought about pollution, destruction of the balance of nature,
over-population, world-wide economic and political disorder and the creation
of an overall environment that is neither physically nor mentally healthy
for most of the people who live in it. Individually there has developed a
widespread feeling of helplessness and despair, in the face of what seems
to be an overwhelming mass of disparate social forces, going beyond the control
and even the comprehension of the human beings who are caught up in it.
(Lee
Smolin, 1997) A successful unification of quantum theory and relativity
would necessarily be a theory of the universe as a whole. It would tell us,
as Aristotle and Newton did before, what space and time are, what the cosmos
is, what things are made of, and what kind of laws those things obey. Such
a theory will bring about a radical shift - a revolution - in our understanding
of what nature is. It must also have wide repercussions, and will likely
bring about, or contribute to, a shift in our understanding of ourselves
and our relationship to the rest of the universe.
This short essay below makes five points that I think are important
and explain why we are asking for help from people who stumble upon our website
and perhaps feel some affinity for the work that we are doing on the Wave Structure
of Matter (which is really just confirming the dynamic Unity of Reality, which
has been known since the time of the Ancients).
I must admit that I don't really like asking for help - both Karene and I are
pretty self sufficient, we live very isolated from the world on 600 acres of
bush on the south west coast of Australia. And it was my concern for Nature
that was really the motivating force for me to study physics philosophy and
metaphysics (ten years ago now!) as a way of trying to understand what Nature
actually is, as a way of helping to prevent its (and perhaps our) destruction.
Anyway, I now realise (because of the many nice intelligent letters
we receive) that there are actually quite a few people interested in helping
the Wave Structure of Matter. This page is just our way of saying thanks, and
offering knowledge to you on some important aspects of the internet that will
not only be interesting and useful if you want to help us, but will be equally
useful no matter what you do on the internet. (Browse around the page headings
- it is pretty self explanatory).

I think the world is in great peril, and the two biggest factors that need to be corrected (and can be) are human overpopulation (with the resultant destruction of Nature), and myth based customs from our past (rather than truth) that cause errors in our thinking and behaviour (and which ultimately lead to conflict). It is this second problem, of the errors in human knowledge, that philosophy makes its business to correct (and is the purpose of this website). With correct foundations for our thinking, eventually the problems of human overpopulation, the destruction of Nature, and the general evolution of society would also be sensibly resolved. As Hume,
