The Church of Rationality

You can believe in whatever you want, but if you want to believe in the truth -- you must be rational.

  "In the absence of compelling reasons to believe, unbelief should be preferred."

Introduction / Summary to this Physics Philosophy Metaphysics of Space Website on Truth and Reality / The Wave Structure of Matter (please read first!)Site Introduction (Oct.07): The above pages show you how to deduce Reality for yourself and confirm it is true.
There are just two steps, founded on logical empirical rules of Science - no opinions (and apologies for the abruptness!)
i) Deduce the most Simple Science Theory of Reality - the Wave Structure of Matter in Space.
ii) Show the Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) correctly deduces fundamentals of Metaphysics, Physics & Philosophy.

Science does work, we can understand physical reality (the source of wisdom). This is profoundly important to Humanity.
Help our world / human society by supporting an open honest (simple, sensible, logical) discussion of truth & reality.

It is obvious to any thoughtful person that our world is in great trouble, that we are heading rapidly towards self destruction due to human overpopulation and the resultant destruction of Nature, climate change and the pollution of air, land and water (contaminating everything we consume).
The best solution to these problems is to found our societies on truth (true knowledge of reality) rather than past myths and customs (which invariably cause harm, our past and present global conflicts confirm this). Most importantly, it is now clear that there is a correct language for describing reality. This is deduced (despite the postmodern view that this is impossible - see links at the top of this page).

Support an open honest (sensible logical) science discussion of Truth & Reality (anchor link to help section lower on this page).
We have tried to make a simple and easy help section (on every page) where you can support this research and ensure that it is known by the world (and you will find good quality websites / knowledge resources in the process).
We are now listed as the Top Philosophy Website on the Internet with around 100,000 page views each day, and rank in the top 20 in Google for most academic search terms - so we just need a bit of help to get in the top ten. Given the Censorship in Physics / Philosophy of Science Journals (founded on the standard model / particle physics) the internet is clearly the best way to get new knowledge visible to the world (which is now very important).

(Albert Einstein) A human being is part of the whole called by us universe ... the true value of a human being is determined by the measure in which they have obtained liberation from the self. ... We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive.
Society & Cosmology Life the Universe and Everything (On Wisdom)

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 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)

'A human being is part of the whole called by us universe ...' (Albert Einstein)

History abundantly shows that people's views of the universe are bound up with their views of themselves and of their society. The debate in cosmology has implications far beyond the realm of science, for it is a question of how truth is known. How these questions are answered will shape not only the history of science, but the history of humanity. (Eric Lerner, 1992)


On Life, the Universe and Everything
A Brief Summary of Cosmology, Infinite Space and Human Morality

Hi Everyone,
For those visiting this website for the first time we realise it may seem a bit odd thinking that you are actually spatially extended structures of space that extend across the observable universe - the discrete and separate body is an illusion of our incomplete senses. But it is certainly true, an ancient mystical belief that is now clearly confirmed by modern physics.
Thus a correct understanding of the Cosmos is a correct understanding of ourselves. We must simply gaze at the stars and consider how we can see them to realize that we must be connected to them – that we are a part of those stars, just as those stars are a part of us!

'All is One and Interconnected' is an ancient wisdom that is at the foundation of both metaphysics and philosophy. For thousands of years, philosophers and mystics have known that One thing must exist that is common to and connects the Many things within the Universe. As Leibniz profoundly says;

Leibniz Monadology Monad - On the Interconnection of All Things Reality cannot be found except in One single source, because of the interconnection of all things with one another.
(Leibniz, 1670)

Significantly, the ancient philosophers did not actually know how the universe was a dynamic unity, what matter was, how the One Thing / Brahman caused and connected the many things. The Metaphysics of Space and the Wave Structure of Matter shows that we can understand Reality and the interconnection of all things from a foundation of science and reason rather than mysticism and intuition.

As Leo Tolstoy writes, the foundation for morality is founded on our relationship with the universe;

Leo Tolstoy - Philosophy of True ReligionsWhat am I? A part of the infinite. It is indeed in these words that the whole problem lies. .. True religion is that relationship, in accordance with reason and knowledge, which man establishes with the infinite world around him, and which binds his life to that infinity and guides his actions .. and leads to the practical rules of the law: do to others as you would have them do unto you. (Tolstoy, 1882)

The idea of the individual being connected to the cosmos is expressed in the Latin root of the word religion, religare (to bind strongly). Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and ancient Greek Stoicism are religious philosophies which emphasise self control, contentment and living a simple virtuous life in harmony with Nature. As Zeno, founder of Stoicism expressed;

All things are parts of one single system, which is called Nature; the individual life is good when it is in harmony with Nature.All things are parts of one single system, which is called Nature; the individual life is good when it is in harmony with Nature.
(Zeno)

The Wave Structure of Matter in Space shows that Matter, Space and the Universe are one. Matter, existing as Spherical Wave Motions of Space which determine the size of our finite spherical observable Universe within infinite eternal Space.
This explains how Matter interacts with all other Matter in the Universe, and thus provides the logical foundations for the fundamental morality of all major Religions, 'Do unto Others as you would have done unto thy Self.'
Once we correctly understand the true conception of self as universe then we realise that this morality is necessarily true - for the other is a part of the self.

Currently the world suffers great conflicts, not only between people, but also with the destruction of Nature. This reflects the dominant scientific view that matter is a separate, discrete particle (which does not explain how matter interacts with all other matter in the universe). This particle conception of matter has prevented us from understanding our true connection to the universe and the resulting moral behaviours which this would then determine.
The following quote from David Bohm is profound important;

David Bohm: Quote from Wholeness and the Implicate Order 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)

Perhaps we are romantics, but it is our hope that in the future Humanity will live by the truth, with greater harmony between different people, their religions and cultures, and to life in all its complex beauty. We hope you read on the Wave Structure of Matter and consider your connection to the cosmos when you look up at our most beautiful cosmos, that starry night sky.

Sincerely,
Geoff Haselhurst & Karene Howie

Today, another scientific revolution is beginning, one that may change our view of the cosmos as radically as the last. And today it again seems likely that the effects of this revolution, both social and scientific, will be profound. If the universe is truly infinite in time and space, then the implications go well beyond cosmology to our view of nature, to religion, philosophy and society as a whole. (Eric Lerner, 1991)

All things are woven together and the common bond is sacred, and scarcely one thing is foreign to another, for they have been arranged together in their places and together make the same ordered Universe. For there is one Universe out of all, one God through all, one substance and one law, one common Reason of all intelligent creatures and one Truth.
Frequently consider the connection of all things in the universe.
We should not say ‘I am an Athenian’ or ‘I am a Roman’ but ‘I am a citizen of the Universe.
(Marcus Aurelius, Meditations)

Albert Einstein Biography and Pictures: Young Albert Einstein (patent clerk)"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. ... The particle can only appear as a limited region in space in which the field strength or the energy density are particularly high. ...
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)

Our world is in great trouble due to human behaviour founded on myths and customs that are causing the destruction of Nature and climate change. We can now deduce the most simple science theory of reality - the wave structure of matter in space. By understanding how we and everything around us are interconnected in Space we can then deduce solutions to the fundamental problems of human knowledge in physics, philosophy, metaphysics, theology, education, health, evolution and ecology, politics and society.
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.
