itself deserve the title of Philosophers.

Hi and welcome everyone (November, 2009)
To begin a short personal update from Karene and I (Geoff) then the more formal introduction!
We have been away for 4 months and have a lot of email to reply to, so
to regular visitors here who may have written to us, sorry for the delay.
Every day we receive many polite, kind, intelligent emails full of praise
and enthusiasm for our website project - to correct errors in the foundations
of human knowledge that are causing humanity ever increasing harm.
It is a daunting challenge, so we really appreciate your support. History
shows that truth eventually wins over myth and custom (and the internet
now greatly enhances this process). If you want to chat with us then please
use Facebook
Connect (we try and reply within 48 hours).
Our short term plans...
Karene is working on the health pages, while also being an excellent mother to Stella (18 months and very cute / cheeky!)
I am writing a short proof of physical reality, the aim is to show sensible logical people how to deduce physical reality for themselves and confirm it is true.
There are just two simple steps - both deduced (you should come to the same conclusion).
1. Deduce the most simple science theory of reality (apply Occam's razor
to science itself). This brings science into harmony with metaphysics and
the foundations of all knowledge, that there must be one substance that
causes and connects the many things we experience. As we all experience
many minds and many material bodies (humans and other objects) but always
in one common space then to abide by the rules of science (empirical / senses)
and metaphysics (one substance) we must describe reality in terms of this
one common space we all experience.
With knowledge of physics it is then easy to show that there is only one
possible solution, Space must be a wave medium and matter is formed from
wave motions of this Space. The electron has a spherical in / out wave structure.
The wave-center forms the 'particle' effect, the spherical in and out waves
explain the continual two way communication / interconnection of matter
in space.
2. Deduce from the Wave Structure of Matter and see how it compares to modern physics. We find that it works perfectly, deducing the central elements of quantum physics, Einstein's relativity and Cosmology correctly, while removing the confusion and paradox.
Basically I hope to make it obvious to people that are sensible and logical that we have worked out physical reality - that we can perfectly imagine matter interactions in space - they are just wave interactions. Then you will understand that this whole postmodern uncertainty and skepticism arose from trying to describe an interconnected reality (where matter is a large structure of space) with many discrete and separate particles.
If you agree, please help share this knowledge. We are tantalizingly close to success, with over 300,000 page views each week and ranking in the top 5 in Bing (Microsoft / Yahoo) and top 20 in Google for many of the main subjects of human knowledge (e.g. philosophy, quantum physics, mathematical physics, theory of relativity, Einstein's relativity, cosmology, ...)
Our existence in the universe is amazing, our bodies subtly connected to
all this other matter in the space around us (this is why we can see and
interact with it). Currently humanity does not live from these 'connected'
foundations, and this 'insanity' is causing the destruction of life on earth
that will have catastrophic consequences for all of us.
The cure is a correct understanding of physical reality and the necessary
truths that are derived from this. There are many others who now realise
this, that truth is the most powerful force for changing the world and saving
humanity.

PS - I am also working on a simple Stirling Engine (external heat engine - sunshine is free and clean). Any thoughts appreciated.
This website is about truth and reality - about how you and everything
around you exist in space. We have an extensive collection of pages on many
of the greatest minds from history, with thousands of brilliant quotes that
are both inspiring and profoundly important. More than this though, we provide
a simple solution to many of the problems of knowledge that have caused
humanity so much conflict and confusion.
And yes, we do realise that people are skeptical of websites on truth and
reality. But the solution is obvious
once known - it just takes our minds a while to adjust to new ways of
thinking.
The error? For the past 350 years (since Newton) we have tried to describe an interconnected reality (which has been known for thousands of years) with many discrete and separate 'particles'. Thus you have to add forces or fields to the particles to connect them together in space and time. This is merely a mathematical solution and it does not explain how discrete matter particles create continuous fields that act on other particles in the space around them. Further, both quantum physics (particle-wave duality, non-locality, uncertainty) and Einstein's general relativity (matter-energy curves space-time) contradict the concept of discrete and separate 'particles'.
The solution? To describe reality from the
most simple foundation of the one thing, Space, that all matter exists in
(look around you now and think about this - we all experience existing in
space).
This
leads to only one solution, a Wave Structure of Matter in Space from which
we then deduce the fundamentals of physics,
philosophy and
metaphysics
to show that it is correct (and scientific / testable, not just our opinion).
Thus there is no particle-wave duality of matter, just a spherical standing
wave structure of matter where the wave center creates the 'particle' effect,
and the spherical in and out waves provide continual two way communication
with all other matter in the universe. However, we only see the high wave
amplitude wave-center and have been deluded into thinking matter was made
of tiny little 'particles'. A very naive conception in hindsight - and quantum
physics was telling us all along that waves were central to light and
matter interactions!
We have a page of wave diagrams that will help you visualise the spherical standing wave structure of matter (WSM) in space.
This knowledge of the Wave Structure of Matter in Space
provides us with a 'source code' from which we can deduce the truth as a
foundation for acting wisely.
Clearly humanity now faces many problems caused by myths and customs that
result in endless conflict and harm. Thus knowing the truth about physical
reality is critically important for our future survival on our fragile and
beautiful little planet.
To start it is useful to read the Site Introduction and the main subject pages listed at the side of each page are important.
I have also spent quite a lot of time re-writing these three pages - I hope everyone will read them!
Deducing
the Most Simple Science Theory of Reality
Philosophy: On Wisdom
from Truth and Reality
Letter
to Philosophers - On Science and Society
(May, 2008)
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. (Gottfried Leibniz, 1670)
(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.
The
task is not so much to see what no one yet has seen, but to think what no
body yet has thought about that which everyone sees. ... But life is short,
and truth works far and lives long: let us speak the truth. (Arthur
Schopenhauer, 1818)
(Note: The following may be a bit abrupt / absolute - it is written with those wonderful ideals of Albert Einstein in mind, kindness, beauty and truth!)
True knowledge of physical reality provides us with an absolute foundation
for working out the truth for ourselves (to prevent us from being deceived
by cultural myths and past customs).
The central point to emphasise is that the solution is deduced using the
accepted rules of science - most importantly Occam's
Razor / Principle of Simplicity and Metaphysics
/ Dynamic
Unity of Reality. This forces us to describe reality in terms of one
substance, Space, and its wave motions that form matter (no opinions).
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, 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. (Aristotle, 340BC)
It is also a significant fact that there is not another page on the internet that considers what the most simple science theory of reality is - which is strange given Occam's Razor (principle of simplicity) is fundamental to science. Thus it seems premature to claim science does not really work (the logical positivist / social construct view of postmodern science) without having considered this most simple solution (which is actually very obvious once known!).
When we see things as being separate and discrete (like the human body)
this is an illusion (naive real). In Reality matter (and thus all people)
are wave
structures of the universe, vibrating / resonating with everything in
the Space around you. We are all subtly interconnected to all other matter
in the observable
universe because we are universal creatures (which is why we can see
those stars spread across the universe, because we are a part of them, they
a part of us). Thus seeing our bodies as discrete and separate objects is
an an illusion of our limited senses (as representations of the mind).
This is the enlightenment
that mystics / spiritualists and great scientists like Albert
Einstein realised.
A
human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in
time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something
separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This
delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires
and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free
ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace
all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty… The true
value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and the sense
in which they have obtained liberation from the self. … We shall require
a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive. (Albert
Einstein, 1954)
By understanding matter's (our) true
spatially extended nature we can easily understand the necessary connection
between things existing in space (imagine spherical waves in space flowing
through one another). This explains how the Earth can orbit the Sun, how
we can see the Stars in the night sky, i.e. these 'forces of light and gravity'
that extend across the observable universe.
From this knowledge of necessary connection we can then solve
the problems of science, of physics,
logic
and mathematics, philosophy,
metaphysics,
theology
and our evolution
and ecology. (There are many problems to explain,
caused by the current discrete particle conception of matter, as modern
academia well realises).
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. ... Since the theory
of general relativity implies the representation of physical reality by
a continuous field, the concept of particles or material points cannot play
a fundamental part, ... and can only appear as a limited region in space
where the field strength / energy density are particularly high. (Albert
Einstein, 1950)
This is one of the wonderful things about the Internet. People can be free
individuals and yet also work together on the Internet to correct past errors
both in human knowledge and in human society - and thus contribute to a
better
future for Humanity.
Most importantly, this knowledge of our dynamic
unity with the world around us provides the foundations for the ecology
of life on Earth and why the preservation
of Nature is critical for our future survival. i.e. By knowing our true
nature, we realise that we are a part of nature, of the ecology of life
on earth as part of a larger ecology of matter in the observable universe
(our true selves). We then realise how important it is to reverse the current
destruction of Nature - which is effectively destroying us / our future
survival. As David
Bohm writes so profoundly;
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)
True knowledge of reality has the potential to save humanity from disaster - but it achieves nothing unless people are aware of it - and that is something that depends on you (the best we can do is to present this knowledge as simply, concisely and clearly as we can - the pages are getting better, we are working hard!).
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. (Albert Einstein, 1934)

PS - For those interested in documentary filmmaking we have recently purchased a fantastic film quality digital video camera. We are working with an independent director / producer from Los Angeles and should have something in production by early next year.
A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and
making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die,
and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. (Max Planck,
1920)
Ignorance
more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know
little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that
problem will never be solved by science. (Charles Darwin,
Introduction to The Descent of Man, 1871)

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
(Mohandas Gandhi)
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.
It is easy to help - just click on the social network sites (below) or grab a nice image / quote you like and add it to your favourite blog, wiki or forum. We are listed as one of the top philosophy sites on the Internet (300,000 page views / week) and have a wonderful collection of knowledge from the greatest minds in human history, so people will appreciate your contributions.
