(Aristotle,
340BC) 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 just as 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.
(Leibniz,
1670) 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.
(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.
Summary: On the Metaphysics of Space and Motion and the Wave Structure of Matter (WSM).
By describing Reality from One Thing
(Space) existing with the Properties of a Wave-Medium, we find that we
can explain and solve many of the fundamental problems of Metaphysics
(and thus Philosophy, Physics and Theology).
By realizing that Matter is formed from Spherical Standing Waves in Space
(rather than discrete particles & forces
in Space-Time) we connect the many things (Matter, Time and Forces),
back to One thing, Space and its Wave Motions. It is this wave motion
of Space that causes matter's activity and the phenomena of Time. This
solves the fundamental Problem of the One and the Many by moving from
the Metaphysics of Space and Time (founded on four separate things) to
the Metaphysics of Space and Motion (founded on One Thing, Space).
From this new metaphysical foundation and language for describing Reality (which is in fact the most simple possible scientific theory as it is founded on One Thing) we can then understand and explain the foundations of Absolute Truth, i.e. Necessary Connection, Logic, Reason, and Certainty, which then explain and solve many problems of Human Knowledge very simply and sensibly (see articles below).
Metaphysics - Main page. Definition of metaphysics, short essay / summary and collection of metaphysical quotes. On the metaphysics of one substance, space, existing with the properties of a wave medium, for spherical standing waves that form matter. Uniting space, time, matter and motion (the dynamic unity of reality).
Metaphysics: Most Simple Scientific Theory of Reality - What is the most Simple Science Theory for describing Reality? The most simple theory must be founded on One thing. Given that there are many minds and material things, but they are all experienced in one common space, we can deduce that space is the most simple foundation. The error is to then add the concepts of Time, Matter and Forces to Space, rather than considering the Properties of Space as a Wave Medium for Spherical Standing Waves which cause Matter, Time and Forces.
Metaphysics: Principles Reality - On Metaphysics, Reality, Logical Truths / Principles of Physics, and Empirical Truths and the Mind's Representation of our Senses. Important Quotes on Metaphysics from Aristotle, Gottfried Leibniz, David Hume, Immanuel Kant and Albert Einstein.
Metaphysics: Problem of One and the Many - By describing Reality as One thing existing (Space with Properties of a Wave Medium for Spherical Standing Waves that form Many things / Matter) we finally solve this most profound problem of Metaphysics. Uniting the One and the Many, Infinite and the Finite, Eternal and the Temporal, Absolute and Relative, Continuous and Discrete, Simple and Complex, Matter and Universe.
Skepticism & Skeptics - On truth and certainty - scientific minds are skeptical and open. How we can be certain we know the truth about reality.
Aristotle: Metaphysics - Explaining Aristotle's Metaphysics of One Substance & its Properties as the necessary foundation for all human knowledge. Uniting Space, Time, Matter and Motion.
Dynamic Unity of Reality - Discussion of metaphysics quotes from famous philosophers and scientists (ancient and modern) on the Dynamic Unity of Reality. The Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) confirms this foundation - One substance (Space) exists with properties of a wave medium.
Einstein, Albert: Principles in Physics - Short summary and quotes from Albert Einstein on metaphysics and the principles of physics and reality.
Einstein, Albert: Field Theory of Matter - Simplifying the metaphysical foundations of Albert Einstein's theory of Relativity. From Einstein's failed attempt at a Unified Field theory of Matter (continuous spherical fields in space-time) to the Wave Structure of Matter (spherical waves in continuous space).
God - God as One Infinite, Eternal Substance. Discussion of Quotes from Philosophers and Theologians on God.
Hume, David: Necessary Connection - By describing reality in terms of One Thing, Space existing as a Wave Medium, we solve David Hume's Problem of Causation and Necessary Connection by explaining the interconnection of Matter in Space.
Kant, Immanuel: Metaphysics - From Kantian Idealism to Realism of Space & the Wave Structure of Matter. Metaphysics of Space and Motion (not Time) as Synthetic a priori Foundations for Human Knowledge and Reason.
Leibniz, Gottfried - The Spherical Standing Wave Structure of Matter explains Gottfried Leibniz's Monadology where 'each created Monad represents the whole Universe'. Uniting Matter & Universe as One Interconnected Whole.
Ockham's Razor - The most Simple Theory that explains the most things is the better Scientific Theory. Thus the logical extension of Ockham's (Occam's) Razor it that the Best Scientific Theory must be founded on One thing that explains Necessary Connection of Many things.
Philosophy & Metaphysics - Uniting Metaphysics and Philosophy by Solving Hume's Problem of Causation, Kant's Critical Idealism, Popper's Problem of Induction. On Thomas Kuhn's Paradigm and Scientific Revolutions.
Metaphysics: Space and Motion - From the Metaphysics of Space and Time (Matter as Particles generating Spherical Forces in Space-Time) to the Metaphysics of Space and Motion (Matter as Spherical Waves in Space). Uniting the Metaphysics of Aristotle, Leibniz, Spinoza, Hume and Kant.
Spinoza, Benedictus - Discussion on the Metaphysics of Benedictus de Spinoza. On One Infinite Substance (God, Nature, Space) and the interconnected Motion of Matter.
Newton, Sir Isaac - The Metaphysics of Space and the Wave Structure of Matter unites Sir Isaac Newton's Absolute Space and his Particle conception of matter.
Wave Structure of Matter Terminology - A brief explanation of the main terms used in the Metaphysics of Space and Motion and the Wave Structure of Matter (and how they relate to Modern Physics).
Metaphysics Physics Philosophy Theology - This is our old Index page which provides a nice summary of the Metaphysics of Space and Motion and the Wave Structure of Matter. Discussion of Quotations on Philosophy (Truth, Reality), Physics (Wave Structure of Matter), Metaphysics (Space and Motion), Theology (God, Religion, Morality).
