Important Note (September, 2012) - I have submitted an essay to a competition on the foundations of physical reality. It explains how matter and fields are just two different ways that space vibrates. It is very simple and obvious once understood, has profound consequences for humanity, our sense of self in the universe knowing that we vibrate with everything around us. Please read it, rate it, and I will reply to all comments. Thanks, Geoff haselhurst (11th Sept. 2012)
I realise that there are a lot of 'crackpot' theories about truth and reality
on the internet, but it is easy to show that the Wave Structure of Matter
is the correct solution as it deduces the laws
of Nature (the fundamentals of Physics & Philosophy)
perfectly (there are no opinions). While the Wave Structure of Matter is obvious
once known, to begin it will seem strange simply because it takes time
for our minds to adjust to new knowledge.
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! On Truth and the Most Simple Sensible Obvious explanation
of Physical Reality
The more original a discovery, the more obvious
it seems afterwards. (Arthur Koestler)
I have known of the Wave Structure of Matter in Space for ten years and
it just seems blindingly obvious to me now that it correctly describes physical
reality (how matter exists in Space and interacts with other matter in the
Space around it).
The solution is simple sensible and obvious 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).
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)
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)
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)
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)
This is clearly true, these things which are 'normal' tend to be ignored
by humanity even though they are quite amazing when we really think about
them.
For example, if we consider Gravity. How remarkable it is that we are stuck
to the Earth, and that the earth, moon, planets, sun and all those stars
out there in the Space of the universe are all connected by this 'gravity
force'. We give it a name and then forget about it - without ever thinking
how amazing it is, what really causes it.
How many people think about how they exist in three dimensional space (we
never seem to think about Space!) and that we can see stars across the Space
of the universe - these are most profound things! And
now we have a simple sensible obvious explanation of these things (how matter
is interconnected across the universe) with the Wave Structure of Matter
in Space.
So I hope that in time this will become obvious to all of humanity - as
then it will become obvious that we are heading for disaster with our current
knowledge foundations of discrete and separate 'particles'.
As David Bohm writes;
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)
Simple Science Quotes
The deepest sin against the human mind is
to believe things without evidence.
Science is simply common sense at its best - that is, rigidly accurate in
observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic.
(Thomas Huxley)
We are to admit no more causes of natural
things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances.
(Sir Isaac Newton, Principia: The system of the world)
"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.
