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.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a
revolutionary act. (George Orwell)
You must be the change you wish to see in the world. (Mohandas Gandhi)
All that is necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing.
(Edmund Burke)
Hell is Truth Seen Too Late. (Thomas Hobbes)
Leonardo da Vinci On the Philosophy, Art & Science of Leonardo da
Vinci
Human
subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more
direct than does Nature, because in her inventions, nothing is lacking and
nothing is superfluous.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
In dealing with a scientific problem, I first
arrange several experiments, and then show with reasons why such an experiment
must necessarily operate in this and in no other way. This is the method
which must be followed in all research upon the phenomenon of nature. We
must consult experience in the variety of cases and circumstances until
we can draw from them a general rule that is contained in them. And for
what purposes are these rules good? They lead us to further investigations
of nature and to creations of art. They prevent us from deceiving ourselves
and others by promising results which are not obtainable. (Leonardo da Vinci)
Life, Art & Ideas of Leonardo da Vinci:
A Brief Biography
Leonardo da Vinci (1452 – 1519)
Leonardo
da Vinci was an Italian Renaissance architect, musician, anatomist,
inventor, engineer, sculptor, geometer, painter (and a very cool talented
artistic creative scientist / philosopher!).
Leonardo is famous for his masterly paintings, such as The Last Supper
and Mona Lisa. He is also known for designing many inventions that anticipated
modern technology, although few of these designs were constructed in his
lifetime. In addition, he helped advance the study of anatomy, astronomy,
and civil engineering. Renaissance humanism saw no mutually exclusive polarities
between sciences and arts.
Leonardo da Vinci’s studies in science and engineering were recorded
in notebooks comprising some 13,000 pages of notes and drawings. These notes
were made and maintained through Leonardo's travels through Europe, during
which he made continual observations of the world around him. His approach
to science was an observatory one: he tried to understand a phenomenon by
describing and depicting it in utmost detail, and did not emphasize experiments
or theoretical explanations. Since he lacked formal education in Latin and
mathematics, contemporary scholars mostly ignored Leonardo the scientist.
da Vinci started to discover the anatomy of the human body at the time
he was apprenticed to Andrea del Verrocchio, (at age fourteen) as his art
teacher insisted that all his pupils learn anatomy. Fascinated by the phenomenon
of flight, Leonardo produced detailed studies of the flight of birds, and
plans for several flying machines, including a helicopter powered by four
men and a light hang-glider.
In 1502 Leonardo da Vinci produced a drawing of a single span 720-foot
(240 m) bridge as part of a civil engineering project for Sultan Beyazid
II of Constantinople. Owing to his sometime employment as a military engineer,
his notebooks also contain several designs for military machines: guns,
an armoured tank, cluster bombs, etc. even though he later held war to be
the worst of human activities. Other inventions include a submarine, a cog-wheeled
device that has been interpreted as the first mechanical calculator, and
a car powered by a spring mechanism. In his years in the Vatican, he planned
an industrial use of solar power, by employing concave mirrors to heat water.
Why Leonardo did not publish or otherwise distribute the contents of his
notebooks remains a mystery to those who believe that Leonardo wanted to
make his observations public knowledge. They remained obscure until the
19th century, and were not directly of value to the development of science
and technology. Leonardo da Vinci will nonetheless be remembered as the
archetype of the "Renaissance man".

Leonardo da Vinci Quotes, Paintings & Pictures
The
painter's mind is a copy of the divine mind, since it operates freely in
creating the many kinds of animals, plants, fruits, landscapes, countrysides,
ruins, and awe-inspiring places by promising results which are not obtainable.
Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for
when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance
away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in
at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen.
For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with
your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long
to return.
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent
brings happy death.
Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation...
even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.
I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing
is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do. (Leonardo
da Vinci)

"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.
