The Dynamic Unity of Reality

And those whose hearts are fixed on Reality itself deserve the title of Philosophers.
(Plato, Republic, 380BC)

Denying realism amounts to megalomania
(the most widespread occupational disease of the professional philosopher).
(Karl Popper, 1975)

Hi and welcome everyone (May, 2008)

This website is about truth and reality - about how you and everything around you exist in space (so this should be of interest to all people). We have an extensive collection of pages on many of the greatest minds from history, with thousands of brilliant quotes that are both inspiring and profoundly important. More than this though, we provide a simple solution to many of the problems of knowledge that have caused humanity so much conflict and confusion. And yes, we do realise that people are skeptical of websites on truth and reality. But the solution is obvious once known (it just takes our minds a while to adjust to new ways of thinking).

The error? For the past 350 years we have tried to describe an interconnected reality (which has been known for thousands of years) with many discrete and separate 'particles'. So then you have to add more things to the particles to connect them together (forces / fields). It is not a good approach, and it does not work (you get paradoxes like the particle wave duality, time travel, big bangs, ...)

The solution? To describe reality from the most simple foundation of the one thing, Space, that all matter exists in (look around you now and think about this - we all experience existing in space).
This leads to only one solution, a Wave Structure of Matter in Space from which we then deduce the fundamentals of physics, philosophy and metaphysics to show that it is correct (and scientific / testable, not just our opinion).

During 2008 we are putting up a series of philosophy / science videos which explain these central problems of knowledge. And I also hope to have re-written the main pages by the end of the year (the quality is a bit variable at the moment - sorry!)

For those interested in documentary filmmaking - well we have 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.

To start it is useful to read the Site Introduction and the main subject pages listed at the top of each page are obviously important.

I have also spent quite a lot of time re-writing these two pages - I hope everyone will make the effort to read them!

Deducing the Most Simple Science Theory of Reality

Philosophy: On Wisdom from Truth and Reality

Reality cannot be found except in One single source, because of the interconnection of all things with one another. ... I maintain also that substances, whether material or immaterial, cannot be conceived in their bare essence without any activity, activity being of the essence of substance in general. (Gottfried Leibniz, 1670)

(Bradley, 1846-1924) We may agree, perhaps, to understand by Metaphysics an attempt to know reality as against mere appearance, or the study of first principles or ultimate truths, or again the effort to comprehend the universe, not simply piecemeal or by fragments, but somehow as a whole.

There are now an emerging group of scientists who are convinced that we have finally worked out what physical reality is. This knowledge of the Wave Structure of Matter in Space provides us with a 'source code' from which we can deduce the truth as a foundation for acting wisely.
Clearly humanity now faces many problems caused by myths and customs that result in endless conflict and harm. Thus knowing the truth about physical reality is critically important for our future survival on our fragile and beautiful little planet.

Note: We have a page of wave diagrams that will help you visualise the spherical standing wave structure of matter (WSM) in space. Basically, we only see the high wave amplitude wave-center and have been deluded into thinking matter was made of tiny little 'particles'. A very naive conception in hindsight - and quantum physics was telling us all along that waves were central to light and matter interactions!

The Four Main Purposes of this Website

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. ... But life is short, and truth works far and lives long: let us speak the truth. (Arthur Schopenhauer, 1818)

(Note: The following may be a bit abrupt / absolute - it is written with those wonderful ideals of Albert Einstein in mind, kindness, beauty and truth!)

i) To Help People Understand Truth and Reality

True knowledge of physical reality provides us with an absolute foundation for working out the truth for ourselves (to prevent us from being deceived by cultural myths and past customs).
The central point to emphasise is that the solution is deduced using the accepted rules of science - most importantly Occam's Razor / Principle of Simplicity and Metaphysics / Dynamic Unity of Reality. This forces us to describe reality in terms of one substance, Space, and its wave motions that form matter (no opinions).

The first philosophy (Metaphysics) is universal and is exclusively concerned with primary substance. ... And here we will have the science to study that which is, both in its essence and in the properties which, just as a thing that is, it has. ... That among entities there must be some cause which moves and combines things. ... There must then be a principle of such a kind that its substance is activity. (Aristotle, 340BC)

It is also a significant fact that there is not another page on the internet that considers what the most simple science theory of reality is - which is strange given Occam's Razor (principle of simplicity) is fundamental to science. Thus it seems premature to claim science does not really work (the logical positivist / social construct view of postmodern science) without having considered this most simple solution (which is actually very obvious once known!).

ii) To Realise that we are Structures of the Universe (that our senses of discrete and separate bodies are incomplete and deceptive)

When we see things as being separate and discrete (like the human body) this is an illusion (naive real). In Reality matter (and thus all people) are wave structures of the universe, vibrating / resonating with everything in the Space around you. We are all subtly interconnected to all other matter in the observable universe because we are universal creatures (which is why we can see those stars spread across the universe, because we are a part of them, they a part of us). Thus seeing our bodies as discrete and separate objects is an an illusion of our limited senses (as representations of the mind).
This is the enlightenment that mystics / spiritualists and great scientists like Albert Einstein realised.

A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty… The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. … We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive. (Albert Einstein, 1954)

iii) To Solve the Central Problems of Knowledge.

By understanding matter's (our) true spatially extended nature we can easily understand the necessary connection between things existing in space (imagine spherical waves in space flowing through one another). This explains how the Earth can orbit the Sun, how we can see the Stars in the night sky, i.e. these 'forces of light and gravity' that extend across the observable universe.
From this knowledge of necessary connection we can then solve the problems of science, of physics, logic and mathematics, philosophy, metaphysics, theology and our evolution and ecology. (There are many problems to explain, caused by the current discrete particle conception of matter, as modern academia well realises).

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. ... Since the theory of general relatively implies the representation of physical reality by a continuous field, the concept of particles or material points cannot play a fundamental part, ... and can only appear as a limited region in space where the field strength / energy density are particularly high. (Albert Einstein, 1950)

iv) To Share this Knowledge with Others

This is one of the wonderful things about the Internet. People can be free individuals and yet also work together on the Internet to correct past errors both in human knowledge and in human society - and thus contribute to a better future for Humanity.
Most importantly, this knowledge of our dynamic unity with the world around us provides the foundations for the ecology of life on Earth and why the preservation of Nature is critical for our future survival. i.e. By knowing our true nature, we realise that we are a part of nature, of the ecology of life on earth as part of a larger ecology of matter in the observable universe (our true selves). We then realise how important it is to reverse the current destruction of Nature - which is effectively destroying us / our future survival. As David Bohm writes so profoundly;

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. (David Bohm, Wholeness and the Implicate Order, 1980)

True knowledge of reality has the potential to save humanity from disaster - but it achieves nothing unless people are aware of it - and that is something that depends on you (the best we can do is to present this knowledge as simply, concisely and clearly as we can - the pages are getting better, we are working hard!).

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. (Albert Einstein, 1934)

For those who wish to help - well it is simple. If you like a page just click on the social networking links. These pages contain a wonderful collection of knowledge from the greatest minds of human history, so people will find it interesting and appreciate your contribution.

The site is doing very well, getting around 500,000 page views a week. And we also recently discovered that we are listed as one of the top Philosophy websites on the internet.
So our sincere thanks to all of you who are helping promote this knowledge.

Navigation: The main subject pages are listed at the top of each page - the site maps (by subject) are at the bottom of each page.

Hope you enjoy browsing around - and thinking about your existence in the universe!

Sincerely,

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. (Max Planck, 1920)

Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science. (Charles Darwin, Introduction to The Descent of Man, 1871)
