Forum Introduction / Explanation

(Albert Einstein, 1954) 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.



Hello and welcome to this Science Forum on the Metaphysics of Space / Wave Structure of Matter. We appreciate it is a bit different from most forums on the Internet, we do though think you will find it interesting (and we think it is important). The forum is really a bit of a mix of forum and website. The structure and organisation is as follows;

The Forum is divided into seven main sections (below). You must register to post in the top "Say Hello" section (please post there first).
The rest of the forum is for 'moderators' only, to try to maintain a high quality forum. Once you have posted a bit in the top "Say Hello" section then you can apply to be a 'moderator' (which really just allows me to give you permissions to post in entire forum).

Introduction / Organisation (you are in this section now)
Physics
Philosophy
Metaphysics
Art Poetry Video Film
Critics Skeptics Problems
Answers to questions / letters

In each subject area we have put up a short summary as an 'announcement' that is 'locked' so that it cannot be edited and stays at the top of the list. The aim is to stimulate discussions that are relevant to the Wave Structure of Matter and its applications to the particular subject.

Once you are a 'moderator', to comment on these subjects you just need to click on 'New Topic' button and add your comments. However, we ask that people first read on the subject before posting, such that we can try and maintain a quality forum!
The best knowledge will (over time) be added to the 'locked' posts at the top of each forum.
The aim is to ensure that the best quality posts and knowledge can be presented at the top of each section, while allowing people to discuss these ideas in the posts below.

Registering and applying to be a Moderator

Due to endless Spam, as of Feb. 2006 you now have to Register / Log In to post in the top 'Say Hello' section (and you can read posts from the rest of the forum). However, to post in the rest of this Science Forum you need to register and then apply to be a 'moderator' (the term phpBB uses - but really just enables us to give you permission to post in all forum sections).

Only people who have made some effort to understand the Wave Structure of Matter will be accepted as Moderators. By earning this right to edit and contribute to work that we think is important and requires careful thought, we hope to maintain a high quality forum that efficiently utilises the various talents of a variety of contributors.

Future Developments - Wiki

Over several years the best knowledge from this Forum will be moved into a WSM Wiki (using an encyclopedia structure) so that the Wave Structure of Matter is presented in a professional and easy to find manner. The wiki will use media wiki software (same as wikipedia) so it is easy to use.
I also plan on re-writing a lot of wikipedia articles from the foundation of the the wave structure of matter in space, and adding them tho our WSM wiki, while also adding some content to wikipedia with link back to our WSM wiki (that will be interesting!)

Posting Guidelines

As with all thoughtful forums, it is required that people make the effort to be polite and kind in their comments. The principle of 'Do unto others' is a pretty good foundation for morality, both in life and in posting here.

I previously had the following message when you create new posts. I have removed it, but it does have useful information for creating posts that get seen on internet (the biggest problem is that Google does not seem to take forum software pages seriously) .

Please read on the relevant sections of the Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) before posting so that we can (hopefully) create a quality forum (and yes, we realise that the website needs improving, which is part of the purpose of this forum). It is also very helpful to know the related keywords that people actually search on the internet. Please try and check this and use these keywords. This does not mean spamming, but to try and use these keywords several times. i.e. In the Subject heading and page content (below). You will also find the latest Google Toolbar very useful as it has a spelling checker and various other cool features.
Finally, we have a policy of only linking to websites that link to us (this is necessary to maintain a reasonable Google page rank). So please put links in brackets, people can copy and past link into browser address bar if they wish to visit site. e.g. (http://www.anywebsite.com) Thanks.

Knowledge Foundations / Principles

The Wave Structure of Matter is unique in being the most simple language for describing reality (founded on One thing existing, Space with the Properties of a Wave Medium). So rather than accepting the current postmodern paradigm that Science doesn't quite work, that no theory can explain all things (e.g. unite Einstein's Relativity, Quantum Theory, Cosmology) I hope people will abide by Occam's Razor and seek the most simple solution to these problems of Science. (It would be negligent not to.)

I think you will find this knowledge of the Wave Structure of Matter not only very simple and sensible, but also very powerful in explaining and solving numerous problems of human knowledge (many of which date back to Ancient Greek and Indian Philosophy, and which were thought impossible to solve).

Because of this dynamic unity of the Wave Structure of Matter (founded on One thing existing, Space, with the properties of an Infinite Eternal Continuous Wave Medium) this means there can be NO particles, fields, strings, flowing space (vortexes), quarks, wimps, big bangs, absolute idealism (all is mind), God / Creation, etc.

i.e. We are working from the very sensible foundation that we experience ourselves and the things around us existing in Space, which is clearly true. And abiding by simplicity, rather than ignoring space (e.g. Einstein's Relativity, Quantum Theory), assuming Space was created by something else!, or adding more things to Space (e.g. time, particles, fields, strings, etc), instead we must simply consider Space as the One thing that exists and thus seek to understand its Properties (as a wave medium for spherical standing waves that form matter).

So please realise that if you want to argue about the existence of these other things then it is best you find another forum (there are hundreds of them out there with their endless opinions, arguments, paradoxes, etc. ...)

As Leibniz writes;

(Gottfried Leibniz, 1670) Reality cannot be found except in One single source, because of the interconnection of all things with one another. ... It is a good thing to proceed in order and to establish propositions (principles). This is the way to gain ground and to progress with certainty. ... I hold that the mark of a genuine idea is that its possibility can be proved, either a priori by conceiving its cause or reason, or a posteriori when experience teaches us that it is a fact in nature. ... a distinction must be made between true and false ideas, and that too much rein must not be given to a mans imagination under pretext of its being a clear and distinct intellection.

Despite this abrupt introduction you will find the people here to be nice, make an effort to maintain a cheerful good humour (we are human and fail sometimes), and genuinely care about our world and the many problems that we currently face.

Most significantly, by carefully understanding the history and evolution of these wonderful subjects of Metaphysics Philosophy and Physics, it is now quite clear that there is a better language for describing Reality. So we cannot help but think you will find this both interesting and important.
Certainly the world could do with a little truth and reality for its foundations - rather than customs founded on past myths that currently cause such conflict and harm to humanity.

Please feel free to browse around, say hello, give us your thoughts.

Regards,

A few relevant quotes;

(Plato, Republic, 380BC ) And those whose hearts are fixed on Reality itself deserve the title of Philosophers.

(Aristotle, 340BC) 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.

(David Hume, 1737) And though the philosopher may live remote from business, the genius of philosophy, if carefully cultivated by several, must gradually diffuse itself throughout the whole society, and bestow a similar correctness on every art and calling.



(Arthur Schopenhauer, 1818) 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.



(Gandhi 1869-1948) Truth alone is eternal, everything else is momentary. It is more correct to say that Truth is God, than to say that God is Truth. ... All life comes from the one universal source, call it Allah, God or Parmeshwara.


(F.H. 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.



(Max Planck, 1930s) 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.



(Fritjof Capra, 1972.) The most important characteristic of the Eastern world view - one could almost say the essence of it - is the awareness of the unity and mutual interrelation of all things and events, the experience of all phenomena in the world as manifestations of a basic oneness. All things are seen as interdependent and inseparable parts of this cosmic whole; as different manifestations of the same ultimate reality.


(Karl Popper, 1975) Denying realism amounts to megalomania (the most widespread occupational disease of the professional philosopher). ...
In my opinion, the greatest scandal of philosophy is that, while all around us the world of nature perishes - and not the world of nature alone - philosophers continue to talk, sometimes cleverly and sometimes not, about the question of whether this world exists. They get involved in scholasticism, in linguistic puzzles such as, for example, whether or not there are differences between 'being' and 'existing'.

(David Bohm, Wholeness and the Implicate Order, 1980) 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.
