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)
Philosophy
The discovery of the obvious!
The more original a discovery, the more obvious
it seems afterwards. (Arthur Koestler)
Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication (Leonardo da Vinci)
As I see things (after ten years of studying physics, philosophy
and metaphysics) it is obvious that we have now worked out what reality
is. The solution is simple once known, we just never thought about it.
I have collected some quotes (below) relating to this common failure of
humans to see the obvious until someone finally discovers it (to me Darwinian Evolution is in this category of being obvious once known).
This is why philosophy is
also known as the discovery of the obvious - which is really just a polite
way of saying that we humans are blind to the obvious most of the time
(and easily misled by our imaginations when it comes to thinking about
truth and reality!).
So what is the obvious explanation of physical reality?
Well we just had to ask what the most
simple science theory of reality is. The article shows that there is only one solution, the wave structure of matter
in Space, and then you can deduce from this theory to show that it works.
There are no opinions - it is obvious once known.
Hope you enjoy the quotes (and please read the simple science article -
it is important!).

Familiar things happen and mankind
does not bother about them. It takes a very unusual mind to undertake the
analysis of the obvious. (Alfred North Whitehead, Science in the Modern
World)
We are like people looking for something
they have in their hands all the time; we're looking in all directions
except at the thing we want, which is probably why we haven't found it.
(Plato, 380BC)
The unapparent connection is more
powerful than the apparent one. (Heraclitus)
I deal with the obvious. I present,
reiterate and glorify the obvious - because the obvious is what people
need to be told. (Dale Carnegie)
There is nothing as deceptive as an
obvious fact. (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)
The best place to hide a needle is
in a stack of needles. (Robert Heinlein)
No question is so difficult to answer
as that to which the answer is obvious. (George Bernard Shaw)
That's the way things come clear.
All of a sudden! And then you realize how obvious they've been all along.
(Madeleine L'Engle)
The obvious is that which is never
seen until someone expresses it. (Kahlil Gibran)
Nothing evades our attention as persistently
as that which is taken for granted. (Gustav Ichheiser)
Because it’s
familiar, a thing remains unknown. (Hegel)
Most human beings have an almost infinite
capacity for taking things for granted. (Aldous Huxley)
Experience has shown that science
frequently develops most fruitfully once we learn to examine the things
that seem the simplest, instead of those that seem the most mysterious.
(Marvin Minsky)
The aspects of things that are most
important for us are hidden because of their simplicity and familiarity.
(One is unable to notice something - because it is always before one's
eyes). The real foundations of his enquiry do not strike a man at all.
Unless THAT fact has at some time struck him. And this means: we fail to
be struck by what, once seen, is most striking and most powerful. (Ludwig
Wittgenstein)
What I call the 'normal syndrome' that humans do not notice that
which is normal. e.g.
Gravity - How remarkable it is that we are stuck to the Earth,
that the earth orbits the sun, which orbits the milky way galaxy and so
on ... as gravity exists across the observable universe. Yet there is no
obvious connection between these things - we just call it gravity and forget
about it.
Space - We all exist in three dimensional space, yet we
never seem to think about Space! though it obviously surrounds us every
where we go!
Light - The fact that we can see stars across the observable
universe, which means that we are somehow interconnected with all this
other matter many billions of light years away in Space. It is obvious
that this is true when we look at the night sky - but how few people really
think about this (it is just 'normal')!
These are most profound things. And the spherical standing wave structure
of matter in space provides an obvious explanation - it just takes our feeble
human minds a while to realise this.

Help Humanity
"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.
