Wave Structure of Matter

Aristotle was the first philosopher to formalise the subject of Metaphysics. As Aristotleexplains, Metaphysics is the study of the One Substance (and its Properties) which exists

and causes all things, and is therefore the necessary foundation for all human knowledge.Aristotle (and Leibniz) were correct to realize that One Substance must have Properties

that cause matter's interconnected activity and Motion. Though Aristotle did not knowwhat existed, he explained the scientific method such that we could determine this

ourselves. Thus Aristotle's ideas are very important, for within them are the clues to the

solution of this most profound of all problems, 'what exists', and thus what it means to be'human'.

Ancient Greek Philosophy, of which Aristotle was the high point, marked a fundamentalturning point in the evolution of humanity and our ideas about our existence in the

universe. Over the past 2,500 years Aristotle's philosophy has directly contributed to the

evolution of our current science / reason based society. Thus it is unfortunate that manypeople imagine our post-modern society to now be so 'enlightened' that Aristotle (and

other Ancient Greek Philosophers) have become irrelevant. In fact the opposite is true.

As Bertrand Russell observed (History of Western Philosophy), it was the Ancient Greek

Philosophers who first discovered and discussed the fundamental Principles ofPhilosophy, Physics and Metaphysics, and most significantly, little has been added to

their knowledge since. As Einstein wrote: Somebody who only reads newspapers and at

best books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted personwho scorns eyeglasses. He is completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of his

times, since he never gets to see or hear anything else. And what a person thinks on his

own without being stimulated by the thoughts and experiences of other people is even in

the best case rather paltry and monotonous. There are only a few enlightened people witha lucid mind and style and with good taste within a century. What has been preserved of

their work belongs among the most precious possessions of mankind. We owe it to a few

writers of antiquity (Plato, Aristotle, etc.) that the people in the Middle Ages couldslowly extricate themselves from the superstitions and ignorance that had darkened life

for more than half a millennium. Nothing is more needed to overcome the modernist's

snobbishness. (Albert Einstein, 1954).

It is therefore both interesting and important to consider the foundations which caused the

blossoming of Ancient Greek Philosophy. First and foremost was the realisation thatALL IS ONE, as Nietzsche writes;

Greek philosophy seems to begin with a preposterous fancy, with the proposition that

water is the origin and mother-womb of all things. Is it really necessary to stop there andbecome serious? Yes, and for three reasons: firstly, because the preposition does

enunciate something about the origin of things; secondly, because it does so without

figure and fable; thirdly and lastly, because it contained, although only in the chrysalisstate, the idea :everything is one. ... That which drove him (Thales) to this generalization

was a metaphysical dogma, which had its origin in a mystic intuition and which together

with the ever renewed endeavors to express it better, we find in all philosophies- the

proposition: everything is one! (Friedrich Nietzsche, The Greeks)

Further, Aristotle realised that Motion (Flux / Activity / Change) was central to

existence and reality, as he writes: The first philosophy (Metaphysics) is universal and

is exclusively concerned with primary substance. ... And here we will have the science tostudy 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. (Aristotle, 340BC). The entire preoccupation of the

physicist is with things that contain within themselves a principle of movement and rest.And to seek for this is to seek for the second kind of principle, that from which comes the

beginning of the change. (Aristotle, 340BC)

Only recently (Wolff, 1986 - Haselhurst, 1997) has it been possible, with the discovery ofthe Metaphysics of Space and Motion and the Wave Structure of Matter (WSM), to unite

these ideas with modern Physics, Philosophy and Metaphysics. And let me first say that it

is ironic that the main problem for human knowledge also came from the Ancient Greeks,

with their conception of matter as discrete Atoms (Democritus, Lucretius). Unfortunately,Physics took the path of the atomists (Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Lorentz) and this led

to the creation of 'Force Fields' (generated by particles) to explain how matter interactedwith other discrete matter at-a-distance in Space.

Wisdom from Truth and Reality

Currently Physics (and thus all human knowledge) is founded on the concepts of particles

and forces in Space and Time, which assumes the existence of four separate things. This

causes many problems for Humanity because the necessary connection between thesethings is unknown. The Metaphysics of Space and Motion and the Wave Structure of

Matter (WSM) solves these problems by describing Reality in terms of One thing, Space,

existing with the Properties of a Wave Medium. Matter is formed from SphericalStanding Waves in Space which cause the 'particle' effect at their Wave Center. Time is

due to the Wave Motion (activity) of Space. Forces are caused by the interaction of the

Spherical In and Out Waves with other matter in Space which changes the location of the

Wave-Center (and which we 'see' as a 'force accelerating a particle'). This rather abruptsummary is explained in detail in the sections which follow (use Anchor Links or scroll

The Three Main Purposes of this Website

i) To allow people to understand what Reality is, thus to have an absolute foundation for

working out the Truth. This allows us to solve many of the problems of Physics,

Philosophy, Metaphysics and Theology (and there are many problems caused by thecurrent particle conception of matter, as modern academia well realises).

ii) To realise that the world we experience (our senses, which are a representation of themind) are incomplete and deceptive. That when we see things as being separate and

discrete (like the human body), this is an illusion (naive real). In Reality matter (and thus

humans) are structures of the universe, thus we are all subtly interconnected not only tothe world around us, but to all other matter in the universe. This explains the foundations

of the ecology of life on Earth, and why the preservation of Nature is critical for our

future survival.

iii) To share this knowledge with others such that many people can work together tocorrect past errors both in human knowledge, and in human society, and thus contribute

to a better future for Humanity. This requires a lot of work, so if you feel motivated to

help (which would be greatly appreciated), please see: How to Help the Wave Structureof Matter

It seems that many people believe that Reality / Physics is too complex for them topossibly understand (and I suspect that Physicists enjoy this reputation as being the 'high

priests' who comprehend such complex things). In fact the opposite is true - Truth is

ultimately simple because Truth comes from Reality (as Plato correctly realised) which

must be founded on One thing. And there is nothing more simple than One Thing. (Thisexplains why Philosophy is also known as the discovery of the obvious!) When you read

the quotes from Aristotle you will also find his ideas to be very simple. This reflects his

greatness as a philosopher, and partly explains why his work has endured for thousands

of years. The Greek Philosophers were also very wise and at times quite amusing, thuswell worth reading.
