Site Introduction (Oct. 2007): This website is primarily on the subjects of truth and reality. We get about 50,000 page views a day and are one of the top philosophy / physics sites on the Internet. The central thesis is best stated in three parts;
i) We must know the truth to act wisely, and truth comes from physical reality.
ii) Our present and past societies are not founded on truth and act unwisely (overpopulation, destruction of nature, pollution, climate change, religious and economic wars, etc.).
iii) We now know the correct language for describing physical reality (all matter interactions are wave interactions in space), and this knowledge is critical for our future survival, being the source of truth & wisdom.

So how do we prove that this is true? Everyone will agree that true knowledge of reality must explain and solve the fundamental problems of knowledge in physics, philosophy and metaphysics. This website does exactly that. The above subject pages provide short summaries / simple solutions to these central problems of knowledge. To begin it is useful to read the Introduction & Summary to this Physics Philosophy Metaphysics Website.

Introduction / Summary: Quantum Physics
Brief Summary of Quantum Physics (Quantum Theory / Wave Mechanics) and the Wave Structure of Matter

These Quantum Physics pages (on either side) show how this new understanding of physical reality (that all light and matter interactions are wave interactions in Space) explains and solves the central problems of Quantum Theory.

The mistake was to work from Newton's foundation of particles and instantly acting gravity forces in space and time (many things) and then have to add more things to explain light and electricity, i.e. charged particles, continuous electromagnetic fields and waves (Faraday, Maxwell, Lorentz, Einstein's Special Relativity).
Thus by 1900 the central concepts of Physics were;
Matter as discrete particles with both gravitational mass and electrical charge properties (mass-charge duality).
Light as continuous electromagnetic waves (velocity of light c).
Continuous electromagnetic fields created by discrete charged particles (discrete particle-continuous field duality).
Local charge interactions limited by the velocity of electromagnetic waves (velocity of light c).

Over the next 30 years Quantum Theory destroyed these foundations by showing the exact opposite, that;
Matter has wave properties thus a particle-wave duality (de Broglie Waves, Schrodinger's wave equations).
Light has discrete particle properties thus a particle-wave duality (Light 'quanta', Max Planck, Albert Einstein)
Continuous deterministic fields are replaced by discrete statistical fields e.g. Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, Niels Bohr's Copenhagen Interpretation, Born's probability waves to predict the location of the particle.
Non-Local matter interactions (instant action-at-distance EPR Bell Aspect)

The solution to this confusion and contradiction is simple once known. Describe reality from One thing existing, Space (that we all commonly experience) and its Properties. i.e. Rather than adding matter particles to space as Newton did, we consider Space with properties of a continuous wave medium for a pure Wave Structure of Matter. This is the Most Simple Science Theory of Physical Reality (despite many claims to the contrary, science does actually work, we just needed the correct foundation of continuous Space rather than discrete matter).
Most importantly, this Dynamic Unity of Reality provides simple solutions to all the 'strangeness' of quantum physics that has resulted from this discrete / disconnected 'particle' conception of matter. i.e.
Matter is a Wave Structure of Space - the Spherical Wave Center creates the 'particle' effect.
Light is a Wave Phenomena - however, spherical standing waves (matter) act as spherical resonators and only interact (resonantly couple) at discrete frequencies / energies which gives the effect of discrete light 'quanta'.
Reality is both Continuous (Space) and Discrete (Standing Wave Interactions).
Reality is both Local and Non-Local - matter is causally inter-connected in Space by its Spherical In and Out Waves (traveling at velocity c, i.e. Einstein's Locality). However (and very importantly), with relative motion these matter wave interactions form de Broglie phase waves that travel at high velocities (c²/v), explaining EPR and apparent Non-Locality / Instant-Action-at-a-Distance.
Reality is Causally Connected but Non-Deterministic / Statistical. The waves in quantum theory are real waves (not abstract 'probability waves') but lack of knowledge of the interconnected whole (infinite Space) causes statistical behaviour of matter (as Einstein believed).

I realise this is a pretty abrupt / radical introduction to a new way of seeing things - that it will take some time to adjust. But the Wave Structure of Matter is simple sensible and obvious once known. Each Quantum Physics page has a short summary and important quotes, so it is easy to click around and confirm things for yourself. Enjoy! Think!

NOTE: These quantum theory pages are under construction (some are very good, others just have quotes, and need writing up). They should be finished by late June, 2007.

Quantum Physics Summary

Note (Oct. 2007): This is an earlier quantum theory summary. I thought it was still useful (and short!) so I left it here.

From 1900 to 1930 there was a revolution in the foundations of our understanding of light and matter interactions. In 1900 Max Planck showed that light energy must be emitted and absorbed in discrete 'quanta' to explain blackbody radiation. Then in 1905 Albert Einstein showed that the energy E of light is determined by its frequency f, where E=hf. Finally, in the mid 1920s, Louis de Broglie and Erwin Schrodinger introduced the concept of Standing Waves to explain these discrete frequency and energy states of light and matter (standing waves only exist at discrete frequencies and thus energy states). So it is clear that Waves are central to Quantum Physics and our understanding of the structure and discrete energy states of both Light and Matter (which explains why Quantum Theory is also called Quantum Wave Mechanics). This is only a very simplistic summary (the probability / non-locality problems have not been addressed), but it is enough to start with, the quantum theory pages (on either side) provide more detailed explanations of these 'strange' aspects of Quantum Physics.

What I find strange though, is that while the discrete energy states of light and matter were calculated using standing wave equations, only recently (Wolff 1986, Haselhurst 1997) has there been any effort to consider a pure Wave Structure of Matter. i.e. To discard the discrete 'particle' concept and explain the 'particle' properties of light and matter in terms of spherical standing waves and their interactions (which only occur at discrete frequencies f which then explain the discrete energy quanta E where E=hf). When we do this we find very obvious and simple solutions to many of these Quantum Physics problems.

Basically it seems that this 'strangeness' of quantum theory has been caused by the continuing assumption of the discrete 'particle' concept for both light and matter, and thus the resulting paradox of the 'Particle / Wave' duality. This has contributed to our current postmodern world view that it is impossible for us to ever correctly understand and describe physical reality (Bohr, Heisenberg). Thus a solution to these problems, founded on this new paradigm of the Metaphysics of Space (existing as a continuous Wave Medium) and the Wave Structure of Matter is clearly a significant discovery. More so when you realise that this new way of looking at things also explains and solves a lot of the problems of Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity and Cosmology.

If you have not read on the Wave Structure of Matter it is best to first read the short Summary & FAQ
