Site Introduction (Dec.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) Apply Occam's Razor to 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.In hindsight the error was obvious - to try and describe an interconnected reality from the foundation of many discrete and separate things, matter 'particles' - rather than from the one thing that all matter exists in, Space (everyone experiences existing in Space, just look around you and think about it).I realise that there are a lot of 'crackpot' theories about truth and reality on the internet, but this solution is the most simple one, it works perfectly (see video) and it is obvious once known (though it does take a while for our minds to adjust to new knowledge).It shows that Science does work - despite the postmodern view that this is impossible. Physical reality (what we really are as humans) is obviously important, being the source of all truth and wisdom. Please help our world (human society / life on earth) by supporting an open honest (simple, sensible, logical) discussion of truth & reality.For those who are religious / spiritual, well if you prefer you can consider space as God (Brahman, Tao, Spirit, Energy). What is certain is that discrete and separate 'particles' do not exist - we are all connected to this one thing that exists - which is vibrating / oscillating. Whether Space has further properties than a wave medium - we don't know. It is possible, as the Wave Structure of Matter is yet to explain things relating to our human emotions and moral sense (it does explain matter interactions in space perfectly though - see links at the top of this page).Understanding this underlying unity of reality is now critically important to humanity. Any thoughtful person must realise 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).Clearly the best solution to these problems is to found our societies on truth and reality rather than past myths and customs (which invariably cause harm, our past and present global conflicts confirm this).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 500,000 page views each week, 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.And I cannot help but think that the future of humanity will be decided by this.Sincerely,Geoff Haselhurst - Karene Howie - Read the Full Introduction - Email - Nice letters we receiveIn a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Metaphysics of SkepticismSkeptical / Skeptics Quotes
Hi Everyone (June, 2007)I have just finished re-writing this page. The essay on metaphysics is as short and simple as I can write it.It is important because it shows us how to solve the problems of metaphysics (thus also physics and philosophy) by understanding how matter exists and moves about in Space in a necessarily interconnected way.
The page is a bit long because I have also included a short 'Definitions of Metaphysics' which is useful, and this is followed by some great metaphysics quotes from Aristotle, Gottfried Leibniz, David Hume, Immanuel Kant and Albert Einstein.Hope you find it useful.Geoff Haselhurst
PS - I have also just finished re-writing the main philosophy page. It relates very well with this page (and it will hopefully amuse you while also explaining some profound truths about physical reality). I think you will get great benefit from reading it (it is the result of 15 years study of 3,500 years of knowledge - and it is short / concise).
What is Metaphysics / What is the Problem?
(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.
Drop a ball. Notice that you do not see any obvious connection between the ball and the earth - yet they are obviously connected because we see the effect of this connection, the ball moves (accelerates) towards the earth. The same argument applies to the Earth orbiting the sun, an electron in an atom, how we can see stars across the universe. We give these connections names, e.g. light and gravity, but no one knew what these hidden causal connections were.
So you see the problem of metaphysics is simple and profound - to solve it requires true knowledge of physical reality, such that we could understand this hidden causal connection that our senses tell us must exist, yet we do not see?This is known to philosophers as Hume's Problem of Causation and Necessary Connection, but really it is common knowledge that dates back to the ancients - the Problem of the One and the Many.
It must certainly be allowed, that nature has kept us at a great distance from all her secrets, and has afforded us only the knowledge of a few superficial qualities of objects; while she conceals from us those powers and principles on which the influence of those objects entirely depends. (Hume, 1737)
When we look about us towards external objects, and consider the operation of causes, we are never able, in a single instance, to discover any power or necessary connexion; any quality, which binds the effect to the cause, and renders the one an infallible consequence of the other. (Hume, 1737)
The Simple Solution to the Problem of Metaphysics
Aristotle was correct in his analysis, and does actually lead us to the solution;
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 just as that which is, both in its essence and in the properties which, just as a thing that is, it has.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, Metaphysics, 340BC)
Surprisingly, after such a long period of failure to solve this problem we find that we can actually deduce the solution.
We just had to ask; What is the Most Simple Science Theory of Reality?
i.e. To solve the problem of metaphysics you must describe reality in terms of one Substance and its Properties - and this is necessarily the most simple solution.Significantly we can deduce that there is only one solution, a wave structure of matter in Space - where space is a substance with the properties of a continuously connected wave medium (thus explaining Aristotle's property of activity / motion as being caused by the wave motion of Space).
And hopefully it is now more clear to you this profundity of metaphysics - being central to: simplicity, unity, reality, necessary connection, causation, logic, knowledge, certainty, senses, science and truth.
The articles at the top of the page show how the Wave Structure of Matter (by explaining matter's necessarily interconnected motion in space) solves numerous problems of knowledge found in postmodern Metaphysics, Physics and Philosophy (and there are many problems that are caused by the discrete and separate 'particle' conception of matter!)
New Age (Postmodern) Metaphysical Spiritualism Vs. Classical Metaphysics
I like spiritual people, they are generally kind and cheerful. I think a wise understanding of spiritualism is really just the enlightened view that our discrete and separate bodies are an illusion (as Albert Einstein realised), that we are really structures of the universe and connected to everything around us.
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)
So I am not writing to offend you when I also say that there is a postmodern 'new age' metaphysics that twists the meaning of metaphysics in a dangerous way, as it says that metaphysics, is 'beyond' our senses (and thus not limited by them).This distinction is very important. If we allow our human imaginations free reign, without being constrained by the truth of our senses, then we will invariably deceive ourselves by imagining fanciful things (and this self deception causes us / our society harm - this is the foundation of Philosophy, that we must know the truth to act wisely and avoid harm).
By his clear critique Hume did not only advance philosophy in a decisive way but also - though through no fault of his - created a danger for philosophy in that, following his critique, a fateful 'fear of metaphysics' arose which has come to be a malady of contemporary empiricist philosophising; this malady is the counterpart to that earlier philosophising in the clouds, which thought it could neglect and dispense with what was given by the senses. ... It finally turns out that one can, after all, not get along without metaphysics.(Albert Einstein, Remarks on Bertrand Russell's Theory of Knowledge)
Definitions of Metaphysics
I received these definitions in an email (I do not know the source). But they are generally good (I have added a few comments in brackets). Geoff
1: The philosophical study of being and knowing.
2: Metaphysics (Greek words meta = after/beyond and physics = nature) is a branch of philosophy concerned with the study of 'first principles' and 'being' (ontology).
3: The study of the nature and being of reality and its origin and structure.
4: A field of abstract thought and philosophy about topics not on theconcrete or physical level of understanding. This includes subjects likeexistence, the soul, being, the supernatural, astral travel and psychicism.(No. This is new age / postmodern view of metaphysics as 'beyond our senses' rather than correctly as the hidden cause of our senses. However, as the Wave Structure of Matter in Space explains, we are actually structures of the universe and this will explain these 'apparently' supernatural effects / subtle human senses.)
5: The manipulation of noetic symbols as if they were propositions.
6: Derived from the Latin word meta which means beyond, metaphysics wouldliterally mean that which is beyond the laws of physics. (No. As above, 'beyond our senses' is misleading - metaphysics studies the hidden causal connection of our visible senses.)
7: The study of the ultimate and fundamental reality. (Spot on!)
8: 'Beyond physics.' The branch of philosophy that deals with firstprinciples and seeks to explain the nature of reality and the origin andstructure of the world. (No. Metaphysics is the source of principles which found physics / science.)
9: Speculative thought about matters outside the perceivable physical world.
10: A branch of philosophy exploring the nature of reality or being, andusually finding the answers outside the physical world in God.(No. God is just another human constructed word, so this is meaningless.)
11: Philosophy of the mind, of knowing. (True. Metaphysics must understand how we can see a rock fall - this requires a correct understanding of the mind and how it is connected to the body / other matter in Space.)
12: Philosophic inquiry into the ultimate and fundamental reality; 'thescience of being as such'.
Metaphysics QuotesOn Truth, Reality & Principles in Science
Aristotle Metaphysics
It is clear, then, that wisdom is knowledge having to do with certain principles and causes. But now, since it is this knowledge that we are seeking, we must consider the following point: of what kind of principles and of what kind of causes is wisdom the knowledge? (Aristotle, Metaphysics, 340BC)
Metaphysics involves intuitive knowledge of unprovable starting-points (concepts and truth) and demonstrative knowledge of what follows from them. (Aristotle, Metaphysics, 340BC)
Demonstration is also something necessary, because a demonstration cannot go otherwise than it does, ... And the cause of this lies with the primary premises/principles. (Aristotle, Metaphysics)
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 just as that which is, both in its essence and in the properties which, just as a thing that is, it has. (Aristotle, Metaphysics, 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, Metaphysics, 340BC)
There must then be a principle of such a kind that its substance is activity.... it is impossible that the primary existent, being eternal, should be destroyed.... that among entities there must be some cause which moves and combines things.... about its coming into being and its doings and about all its alterations we think that we have knowledge when we know the source of its movement. (Aristotle, Metaphysics, 340BC)
For those who wish to make good progress must start well; for subsequent progress depends on the resolution of the first puzzles, and one cannot solve these without knowing the difficulty and the confusion of our minds. So we must first set out all the difficulties, both for these reasons and also because those who inquire without first setting out the difficulties are like those who do not know in which direction they should walk, and in addition do not even know whether they would recognize that which they are looking for. For the end is not clear to these, but it is for those who have begun with the puzzles. And also from the point of view of judging that man is better off who has heard, as it were, all the rival and opposed positions. (Aristotle, Metaphysics)
Gottfried Leibniz on Metaphysics (Monadology)
(Gottfried Leibniz, 1670) 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.
Indeed in general I hold that there is nothing truer than happiness, and nothing happier and sweeter than truth. (Leibniz, 1670)
I agree with you that it is important to examine our presuppositions, thoroughly and once for all, in order to establish something solid. For I hold that it is only when we can prove all that we bring forward that we perfectly understand the thing under consideration. I know that the common herd takes little pleasure in these researches, but I know also that the common herd take little pains thoroughly to understand things. (Leibniz, 1670)
... a distinction must be made between true and false ideas, and that too much rein must not be given to a man's imagination under pretext of its being a clear and distinct intellection. (Leibniz, 1670)
But it is the knowledge of necessary and eternal truths which distinguishes us from mere animals, and gives us reason and the sciences, raising us to knowledge of ourselves and God. It is this in us which we call the rational soul or mind. (Leibniz, 1670)
When a truth is necessary, the reason for it can be found by analysis, that is, by resolving it into simpler ideas and truths until the primary ones are reached. It is this way that in mathematics speculative theorems and practical canons are reduced by analysis to definitions, axioms and postulates. (Leibniz, 1670)
David Hume Metaphysics Quotes: On Causation / Necessary Connection
It must certainly be allowed, that nature has kept us at a great distance from all her secrets, and has afforded us only the knowledge of a few superficial qualities of objects; while she conceals from us those powers and principles on which the influence of those objects entirely depends. (Hume, 1737)
When we look about us towards external objects, and consider the operation of causes, we are never able, in a single instance, to discover any power or necessary connexion; any quality, which binds the effect to the cause, and renders the one an infallible consequence of the other. (Hume, 1737)
... experience only teaches us, how one event constantly follows another; without instructing us in the secret connexion, which binds them together, and renders them inseparable. (Hume, 1737)
We then call the one object, Cause; the other, Effect. We suppose that there is some connexion between them; some power in the one, by which it infallibly produces the other, and operates with the greatest certainty and strongest necessity. (Hume, 1737)
Immanuel Kant Quotes on Metaphysics
Time was, when she (Metaphysics) was the queen of all the sciences; and, if we take the will for the deed, she certainly deserves, so far as regards the high importance of her object-matter, this title of honour. Now, it is the fashion of the time to heap contempt and scorn upon her; and the matron mourns, forlorn and forsaken, like Hecuba .. her empire gradually broke up, and intestine wars introduced the reign of anarchy; while the sceptics, like nomadic tribes, who hate a permanent habitation and settled mode of living, attacked from time to time those who had organized themselves into civil communities. But their number was, very happily, small; and thus they could not entirely put a stop to the exertions of those who persisted in raising new edifices, although on no settled or uniform plan. (Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure Reason, 1781)
This can never become popular, and, indeed, has no occasion to be so; for fine-spun arguments in favour of useful truths make just as little impression on the public mind as the equally subtle objections brought against these truths. On the other hand, since both inevitably force themselves on every man who rises to the height of speculation, it becomes the manifest duty of the schools to enter upon a thorough investigation of the rights of speculative reason, and thus to prevent the scandal which metaphysical controversies are sure, sooner or later, to cause even to the masses. (Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure Reason, 1781)
Albert Einstein on Principles in Physics
Note: This is a summary from the main Principles in Physics page (which is very good).
All logic depends upon Principles which gives rise to necessary consequences that are absolute and certain (rather than mere opinions). The aim of Science is to demonstrate that these logical deductions from (a priori) Principles exactly correspond with our sense of the real world from (a posteriori) observation and experiment. Albert Einstein explains this Scientific method very clearly;
(Albert Einstein) Physics constitutes a logical system of thought which is in a state of evolution, whose basis (principles) cannot be distilled, as it were, from experience by an inductive method, but can only be arrived at by free invention. The justification (truth content) of the system rests in the verification of the derived propositions (a priori/logical truths) by sense experiences (a posteriori/empirical truths). ... Evolution is proceeding in the direction of increasing simplicity of the logical basis (principles). .. We must always be ready to change these notions - that is to say, the axiomatic basis of physics - in order to do justice to perceived facts in the most perfect way logically. (Albert Einstein, Physics and Reality, 1936)
The development during the present century is characterized by two theoretical systems essentially independent of each other: the theory of relativity and the quantum theory. The two systems do not directly contradict each other; but they seem little adapted to fusion into one unified theory. For the time being we have to admit that we do not possess any general theoretical basis for physics which can be regarded as its logical foundation. (Albert Einstein, 1940)
If, then, it is true that the axiomatic basis of theoretical physics cannot be extracted from experience but must be freely invented, can we ever hope to find the right way? I answer without hesitation that there is, in my opinion, a right way, and that we are capable of finding it. I hold it true that pure thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed. (Albert Einstein, 1954)
Albert Einstein Quotes on Metaphysics(Remarks on Bertrand Russell's Theory of Knowledge, 1954)
In the evolution of philosophical thought through the centuries the following question has played a major role: what knowledge is pure thought able to supply independently of sense perception? Is there any such knowledge? If not, what precisely is the relation between our knowledge and the raw material furnished by sense impressions?There has been an increasing skepticism concerning every attempt by means of pure thought to learn something about the 'objective world', about the world of 'things' in contrast to the world of 'concepts and ideas'. During philosophy's childhood it was rather generally believed that it is possible to find everything which can be known by means of mere reflection. It was an illusion which anyone can easily understand if, for a moment, he dismisses what he has learned from later philosophy and from natural science; he will not be surprised to find that Plato ascribed a higher reality to 'ideas' than to empirically experienceable things. Even in Spinoza and as late as in Hegel this prejudice was the vitalising force which seems still to have played the major role.The more aristocratic illusion concerning the unlimited penetrative power of thought has as its counterpart the more plebeian illusion of naive realism, according to which things 'are' as they are perceived by us through our senses. This illusion dominates the daily life of men and of animals; it is also the point of departure in all of the sciences, especially of the natural sciences.As Russell wrote;
'We all start from naive realism, i.e., the doctrine that things are what they seem. We think that grass is green, that stones are hard, and that snow is cold. But physics assures us that the greenness of grass, the hardness of stones, and the coldness of snow are not the greenness, hardness, and coldness that we know in our own experience, but something very different. The observer, when he seems to himself to be observing a stone, is really, if physics is to be believed, observing the effects of the stone upon himself.'
Gradually the conviction gained recognition that all knowledge about things is exclusively a working-over of the raw material furnished by the senses. Galileo and Hume first upheld this principle with full clarity and decisiveness. Hume saw that concepts which we must regard as essential, such as, for example, causal connection, cannot be gained from material given to us by the senses. This insight led him to a skeptical attitude as concerns knowledge of any kind. Man has an intense desire for assured knowledge. That is why Hume's clear message seemed crushing: the sensory raw material, the only source of our knowledge,through habit may lead us to belief and expectation but not to the knowledge and still less to the understanding of lawful relations.
Then Kant took the stage with an idea which, though certainly untenable in the form in which he put it, signified a step towards the solution of Hume's dilemma: whatever in knowledge is of empirical origin is never certain. If, therefore, we have definitely assured knowledge,it must be grounded in reason itself. This is held to be the case, for example, in the propositions of geometry and the principles of causality. These and certain other types of knowledge are, so to speak, a part of the implements of thinking and therefore do not previously have to be gained from sense data (i.e. they are a priori knowledge).
Today everyone knows, of course, that the mentioned concepts contain nothing of the certainty, of the inherent necessity, which Kant had attributed to them. The following, however, appears to me to be correct in Kant's statement of the problem: in thinking we use with a certain "right", concepts to which there is no access from the materials of sensory experience, if the situation is viewed from the logical point of view. As a matter of fact, I am convinced that even much more is to be asserted: the concepts which arise in our thought and in our linguistic expressions are all- when viewed logically- the free creations of thought which cannot inductively be gained from sense experiences. This is not so easily noticed only because we have the habit of combining certain concepts and conceptual relations (propositions) so definitely with certain sense experiences that we do not become conscious of the gulf- logically unbridgeable- which separates the world of sensory experiences from the world of concepts and propositions. Thus, for example, the series of integers is obviously an invention of the human mind, a self-created tool which simplifies the ordering of certain sensory experiences. But there is no way in which this concept could be made to grow, as it were, directly out of sense experiences.
As soon as one is at home in Hume's critique one is easily led to believe that all those concepts and propositions which cannot be deduced from the sensory raw material are, on account of their 'metaphysical' character, to be removed from thinking. For all thought acquires material content only through its relationship with that sensory material. This latter proposition I take to be entirely true; but I hold the prescription for thinking which is grounded on this proposition to be false. For this claim- if only carried through consistently- absolutely excludes thinking of any kind as 'metaphysical'. In order that thinking might not degenerate into 'metaphysics', or into empty talk, it is only necessary that enough propositions of the conceptual system be firmly enough connected with sensory experiences and that the conceptual system, in view of its task of ordering and surveying sense experience, should show as much unity and parsimony as possible. Beyond that, however, the 'system' is (as regards logic) a free play with symbols according to (logically) arbitrarily given rules of the game. All this applies as much (and in the same manner) to the thinking in daily life as to the more consciously and systematically constructed thinking in the sciences.
By his clear critique Hume did not only advance philosophy in a decisive way but also - though through no fault of his - created a danger for philosophy in that, following his critique, a fateful 'fear of metaphysics' arose which has come to be a malady of contemporary empiricist philosophising; this malady is the counterpart to that earlier philosophising in the clouds, which thought it could neglect and dispense with what was given by the senses. ... It finally turns out that one can, after all, not get along without metaphysics.(Albert Einstein, Remarks on Bertrand Russell's Theory of Knowledge, Ideas and Opinions, 1954)

Help Humanity
"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.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.
