Philosophy Physics Metaphysics of Space - The Wave Structure of Matter (WSM)

The Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) is the most simple language for describing Reality, founded on One thing existing, Space, with Properties of a Continuous Infinite Eternal Wave Medium. While the Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) is not yet well known, it clearly explains and solves many of the fundamental problems of Science (Metaphysics Philosophy Physics) by explaining how matter (and thus humans) are necessarily interconnected to other matter in Space within the Universe. We think this knowledge is important, hope that you find it interesting and will enjoy pondering upon (and discussing!) this new perspective for understanding physical reality.

Philosophy of Education / Educational Philosophy


Philosophy of Education: Michel de Montaigne 'Since philosophy is the art which teaches us how to live, and since children need to learn it as much as we do at other ages, why do we not instruct them in it?'Since philosophy is the art which teaches us how to live, and since children need to learn it as much as we do at other ages, why do we not instruct them in it? .. But in truth I know nothing about the philosophy of education except this: that the greatest and the most important difficulty known to human learning seems to lie in that area which treats how to bring up children and how to educate them. (Michel de Montaigne)


Educational Philosophy: Jean Jacques Rousseau 'Begin then by studying your pupils better. For most assuredly you do not know them at all.'Plants are shaped by cultivation and men by education. .. We are born weak, we need strength; we are born totally unprovided, we need aid; we are born stupid, we need judgment. Everything we do not have at our birth and which we need when we are grown is given us by education. (Jean Jacques Rousseau, Emile)



Albert Einstein 'My dear children: I rejoice to see you before me today, happy youth of a sunny and fortunate land. Bear in mind that the wonderful things that you learn in your schools are the work of many generations, produced by enthusiastic effort and infinite labour in every country of the world.'My dear children: I rejoice to see you before me today, happy youth of a sunny and fortunate land. Bear in mind that the wonderful things that you learn in your schools are the work of many generations, produced by enthusiastic effort and infinite labour in every country of the world. All this is put into your hands as your inheritance in order that you may receive it, honour it, and add to it, and one day faithfully hand it on to your children. Thus do we mortals achieve immortality in the permanent things which we create in common. If you always keep that in mind you will find meaning in life and work and acquire the right attitude towards other nations and ages. (Albert Einstein talking to a group of school children. 1934)


On the Importance of Philosophy in Education

I strongly believe in the importance of Philosophy in education. Philosophy is not as an abstract esoteric subject, nor a cult, but teaches us how to think correctly. People do not think enough in our modern world (we are too busy consuming, working, watching tv ...) which is a strange contradiction in this current 'information age'. In light of our tumultuous capitalist world, to be a critical, well informed, creative, thinking individual is a wonderful trait (that also protects you from a lot of the crap in the world). I agree with Buddha, 'the gift of truth excels all other gifts' and also with Albert Einstein;

(Albert Einstein) 'To see with one's own eyes, to feel and judge without succumbing to the suggestive power of the fashion of the day, to be able to express what one has seen and felt in a trim sentence or even in a cunningly wrought word- is that not glorious? It is not a proper subject for congratulation?'To see with one's own eyes, to feel and judge without succumbing to the suggestive power of the fashion of the day, to be able to express what one has seen and felt in a trim sentence or even in a cunningly wrought word- is that not glorious? It is not a proper subject for congratulation? (Albert Einstein, 1934)

Knowledge exists in two forms - lifeless, stored in books, and alive, in the consciousness of men. The second form of existence is after all the essential one; the first, indispensable as it may be, occupies only an inferior position. (Albert Einstein, 1954)





My partner Geoffrey, though now very into philosophy, actually has an education degree (both his parents were university lecturers). So I know he would love to discuss this subject further (all philosophers recognise the education is the most important thing for the future of humanity).
