Site Introduction (Oct. 2007): This website is primarily on the subjects of truth and reality. We get about 50,000 page views a day and are one of the top philosophy / physics sites on the Internet. The central thesis is best stated in three parts;
i) We must know the truth to act wisely, and truth comes from physical reality.
ii) Our present and past societies are not founded on truth and act unwisely (overpopulation, destruction of nature, pollution, climate change, religious and economic wars, etc.).
iii) We now know the correct language for describing physical reality (all matter interactions are wave interactions in space), and this knowledge is critical for our future survival, being the source of truth & wisdom.

So how do we prove that this is true? Everyone will agree that true knowledge of reality must explain and solve the fundamental problems of knowledge in physics, philosophy and metaphysics. This website does exactly that. The above subject pages provide short summaries / simple solutions to these central problems of knowledge. To begin it is useful to read the Introduction & Summary to this Physics Philosophy Metaphysics Website.

Short Summary of Quantum Physics
These Quantum Physics pages (on either side) show how this new understanding of physical reality (that all light and matter interactions are wave interactions in Space) explains and solves the central problems of Quantum Theory.

The mistake was to work from Newton's foundation of particles and instantly acting gravity forces in space and time (many things) and then have to add more things to explain light and electricity, i.e. charged particles, continuous electromagnetic fields and waves (Faraday, Maxwell, Lorentz, Einstein's Special Relativity).
Thus by 1900 the central concepts of Physics were;
Matter as discrete particles with both gravitational mass and electrical charge properties (mass-charge duality).
Light as continuous electromagnetic waves (velocity of light c).
Continuous electromagnetic fields created by discrete charged particles (discrete particle-continuous field duality).
Local charge interactions limited by the velocity of electromagnetic waves (velocity of light c).

Over the next 30 years Quantum Theory destroyed these foundations by showing the exact opposite, that;
Matter has wave properties thus a particle-wave duality (de Broglie Waves, Schrodinger's wave equations).
Light has discrete particle properties thus a particle-wave duality (Light 'quanta', Max Planck, Albert Einstein)
Continuous deterministic fields are replaced by discrete statistical fields e.g. Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, Niels Bohr's Copenhagen Interpretation, Born's probability waves to predict the location of the particle.
Non-Local matter interactions (instant action-at-distance EPR Bell Aspect)

The solution to this confusion and contradiction is simple once known. Describe reality from One thing existing, Space (that we all commonly experience) and its Properties. i.e. Rather than adding matter particles to space as Newton did, we consider Space with properties of a continuous wave medium for a pure Wave Structure of Matter. This is the Most Simple Science Theory of Physical Reality (despite many claims to the contrary, science does actually work, we just needed the correct foundation of continuous Space rather than discrete matter).
Most importantly, this Dynamic Unity of Reality provides simple solutions to all the 'strangeness' of quantum physics that has resulted from this discrete / disconnected 'particle' conception of matter. i.e.
Matter is a Wave Structure of Space - the Spherical Wave Center creates the 'particle' effect.
Light is a Wave Phenomena - however, spherical standing waves (matter) act as spherical resonators and only interact (resonantly couple) at discrete frequencies / energies which gives the effect of discrete light 'quanta'.
Reality is both Continuous (Space) and Discrete (Standing Wave Interactions).
Reality is both Local and Non-Local - matter is causally inter-connected in Space by its Spherical In and Out Waves (traveling at velocity c, i.e. Einstein's Locality). However (and very importantly), with relative motion these matter wave interactions form de Broglie phase waves that travel at high velocities (c²/v), explaining EPR and apparent Non-Locality / Instant-Action-at-a-Distance.
Reality is Causally Connected but Non-Deterministic / Statistical. The waves in quantum theory are real waves (not abstract 'probability waves') but lack of knowledge of the interconnected whole (infinite Space) causes statistical behaviour of matter (as Einstein believed).

I realise this is a pretty abrupt / radical introduction to a new way of seeing things - that it will take some time to adjust. But the Wave Structure of Matter is simple sensible and obvious once known. Each Quantum Physics page has a short summary and important quotes, so it is easy to click around and confirm things for yourself. Enjoy! Think!

Quantum Mechanics: Milo Wolff
The Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) explains Discrete Quantum Energy States, Particle Wave Duality of Light & Matter & Instant Action at a Distance (non-locality)

Introduction: Dr Milo Wolff

Abstract: The structure of the electron is investigated and found closely entwined with the origin of the natural laws. The natural laws had been measured for hundreds of years but no one knew how Nature creates them. Richard Feynman wrote, speaking of the Conservation of Energy, Nature has a hidden accountant who keeps honest books of energy input and output but we don't know how she does it. The origins had been proposed earlier by Clifford and Schrodinger, who pointed out that only a Wave Structure of Matter (WSM), can explain natural laws (i.e. Wave Mechanics). Further, Einstein realised that matter was spherical and spatially extended and thus the Electron was not a point particle, but rather, a structure of space. He writes;
Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended. In this way the concept empty space loses its meaning. ... Since the theory of general relativity implies the representation of physical reality by a continuous field, the concept of particles or material points cannot play a fundamental part, nor can the concept of motion. The particle can only appear as a limited region in space in which the field strength or the energy density are particularly high. (Albert Einstein)
Einstein's error was to represent matter as a continuous spherical field in space-time rather than as a Spherical Wave in continuous Space which causes the spherical force field effects (as we shall shortly explain).
Using the WSM a quantitative origin has been found based on the wave structure of the electron. It is shown that Space (the quantum wave medium) is a single entity underlying electron structure and the laws. Three Principles are found describing the wave medium, enabling calculation of particles and the laws. The predictive power of the WSM is shown by deriving the previously unknown physical origin of electron spin and making experimental predictions which solve the paradoxes of the famous EPR experiment. The WSM has important implications for research, industry, and our human role in the universe.

http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Wolff-Einstein-EPR-Experiment.htm -
Abstract: In l935, Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR) put forward a gedanken (thought) experiment whose outcome they thought was certain to show that there existed natural phenomena that quantum theory could not account for. The experiment was based on the concept that two events cannot influence each other if the distance between them is greater than the distance light could travel in the time available. In other words, only local events inside the light sphere can influence one another.
Their experimental concept was later used by John Bell (1964) to frame a theorem which showed that either the statistical predictions of quantum theory or the Principle of Local Events is incorrect. It did not say which one was false but only that both cannot be true, although it was clear that Einstein expected The Principle to be affirmed.
When later experiments (Clauser & Freedman 1972; Aspect, Dalibard, and Roger, 1982; and others) confirmed that quantum theory was correct, the conclusion was startling. The Principle of Local Events failed, forcing us to recognize that the world is not the way it appears. What then is the real nature of our world?
The important impact of Bell's Theorem and the experiments is that they clearly thrust a formerly only philosophical dilemma of quantum theory into the real world. They show that post-modern physics’ ideas about the world are somehow profoundly deficient. No one understood these results and only scant scientific attention has been paid to them. With the recent discoveries on the Wave Structure of Matter we can now understand the cause of these apparently 'spooky' actions at a distance.

http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Wolff-Feynman-QED.htm -
Abstract: Lack of knowledge of energy transfer between particles is a major obstacle in understanding physics, matter, and the Universe. In 1945 Wheeler and Feynman sought the mechanism of energy transfer by calculating e-m radiation from an accelerated electron. The electron generated outward and inward waves and evoked a response of the universe from absorber charges. This paper compares Wheeler and Feynman’s work with a rigorous solution using the scalar wave equation that finds a quantum-wave electron structure based upon two fundamental principles of Nature. This is equivalent to replacing the material point electron with a spherical quantum-wave electron, a new structure in main-stream thinking but fulfilling a proposal by Schrodinger (Quantum Wave Mechanics). Surprisingly, all the natural laws are found embedded in the wave structure of the electron – as envisioned by Schrodinger.

Digital Video Interview - Milo Wolff and Geoff Haselhurst

The following interview between Philosopher Geoff Haselhurst and Physicist Milo Wolff on the Wave Structure of Matter was filmed in 2000 on the grounds of Berkeley University in California. Milo Wolff is a fine theoretical physicist and one day he will no doubt receive a Nobel Prize for his pioneering work on the Wave Structure of Matter. I think you will find these video interviews to be interesting (at times amusing) and very informative about the problems of modern physics and how they can be solved by the Wave Structure of Matter.

The Digital Video has been compressed to about 6 Kilo Bytes per second (48kbits) using Premiere 6.5 and the latest (November 2003) Windows Media 9 codec (format .wmv, 12.5 frames/second, small screen size of 150 by 120). While the images are a bit blurry at times, we have chosen small data size over image quality to encourage people to download these videos, as they contain important information (in a nice human friendly format!).
The interview is broken into ten video clips - from 60 seconds (360 KBytes) to 180 seconds (1 MByte) so they download quickly (from 10 to 30 seconds on DSL / cable, from 60 to 180 seconds on a 56 kbit modem). They should then play automatically in Windows Media Player which is standard in Windows. NOTE: If you press the play button before the video completes downloading (while buffering) for some strange reason the download resets back to the beginning and you loose what had already downloaded - so be patient, it will play automatically once it has finished downloading / buffering the file!

We also have the video clips Online in Real Media (see REAL links below - they average 1.6 times the size and data rate) and Quicktime format if required (write to us). If you don't have the latest Media Players you can go to our website;

1. Milo Wolff (1,100K) 'I was curious!' - On his lifelong (slightly obsessive) motivation to find the cause of the de Broglie wavelength of Quantum Theory. His discovery (in 1986) that a Spherical Wave Structure of Matter deduced Doppler shifts (due to relative motion of the Spherical In and Out-Waves and the Wave-Center) that correctly corresponded to the de Broglie Wavelength of matter. Of even more significance is the fact that within these same simple wave equations were the correct terms for the Frequency-Mass-Energy increases with Motion as deduced by Einstein' Special Relativity. Thus for the first time finding a fundamental theoretical and mathematical unification of these two famous theories. (REAL)
2. Milo Wolff (720K) 'We're talking about the Wave Structure of Matter. For three thousand years ... '
How does one particle emit and absorb another particle? It only makes sense when we realise that spherical standing waves cause 'particle' effects. (REAL)
3. Milo Wolff (950K) Explains the obvious fact that Spherical Waves necessarily form a 'particle' effect at their Wave-Center, thus solving the 70 year old paradox of the Particle-Wave Duality of Matter. Further discussion of Space and it Properties as a Wave Medium for the Spherical Waves which form matter. On the size of the Wave-Centers and how many exist in the matter of our bodies. (REAL)
4. Milo Wolff (900K) Cosmology - How Huygens' Principle explains where our Spherical In-Waves come from and where our Spherical Out-Waves go to? Discusses Mathematical analysis of the Waves. (REAL)
5. Milo Wolff (1,100K) The Spherical Wave Structure of Matter is an obvious solution to the particle wave duality of Matter, why wasn't it discovered many years earlier? Milo Wolff's reply 'Humans are creatures of habit and custom ... '.
What did Einstein think matter was? On Maxwell's Equations and the Electromagnetic Force Field theory of Matter (which are not real, but merely mathematical constructions which approximate reality). (REAL)
6. Milo Wolff (620K) What are the similarities of the Wave Structure of Matter and Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity? Einstein represents matter as Continuous Spherical Electromagnetic Force Fields - thus he is largely correct, matter is not a discrete and separate particle but rather a structure of Space. His error was to use continuous spherical e-m fields rather than Spherical Standing Waves. Thus he was never able to explain the discrete Energy transfers of Quantum Theory, which are due to Standing Wave Interactions, which only occur at discrete frequencies and thus energies. This Energy exchange is fundamental to all observation and thus to all Physics (though it has been ignored). (REAL)
7. Milo Wolff (740K) Explains the illusion of Light and the 'Photon Particle' - On how discrete energy exchanges of light 'photons' are caused by Standing Wave Interactions (Resonant Coupling). (REAL)

The last three videos are a brief biography and reminiscence on life as a Professor of Physics and some of the more interesting and different places and things Milo Wolff has done over the past 80 years.

8. Milo Wolff (500K) On growing up wanting to understand how everything worked and thus how to fix things! On becoming a Physicist so he could understand the fundamental 'basic' things.
9. Milo Wolff (680K) PhD in Nuclear Physics, Electrical Engineering, 1958. Setting up a University Physics faculty in Indonesia. Working for MIT, landing Spacecraft on the Moon.
10. Milo Wolff (1,000K) Working for the Aerospace Corporation, making new discoveries.

Major Work

Wolff has found the structure of the electron consisting of two spherical quantum waves, one moving radially outward and another moving radially inward. The center of the waves is the nominal location of the electron 'particle'. These waves extend to infinity, like charge force. All 'particle' waves mix and contribute to each other, thus all matter of the universe is interrelated by this intimate connection between the fundamental 'particles' and the universe. The natural laws are a direct consequence of this Wave Structure of Matter (WSM), thus WSM underlies all of science.

Three Principles underlie the WSM

Principle I. Wave Equation Determines the behavior of Quantum Waves in Space.

Principle II. Wave Density Principle. Generalization of Mach's Principle - determines the density of the quantum wave medium.

Principle III. Minimum Amplitude Principle (MAP). The sum of Wave Amplitudes seeks a Minimum at each point in Space. (Can be deduced from Principle II above).

Project Narratives

Wolff's work at MIT (1963-69) on the structure of the atmosphere resulted in a $6 million contract for MIT to build apparatus that would scan the atmosphere in orbit and then compute the constituents over the entire earth. This scanning scheme and math method were the precursor to the MRI (magnetic resonance image) scheme developed five years later to scan the human body.
In Singapore (1970-72) and at the Aerospace Corporation (1973-75), he did computer studies of the structure of rough surfaces of asteroids and planetary satellites seeking the cause of 'negative polarization' of reflected light - an 80 year old mystery of planetary astronomy. His results showed the cause to be multiple scattering of light and interior reflections in grains. This knowledge makes it possible to remotely measure the size of distant asteroids as well as the index of refraction of grains on distant surfaces.
At the UN (1975-77) and privately (1978-present) he did the pioneering research on the Wave Structure of Matter, leading to a quantitative quantum wave structure of the electron/positron and the origin of the natural laws. He has shown how the fundamental particles, being in fact the Wave-Centers of Spherical Waves in Space, are intimately joined with the large-scale structure of the universe.
