		<title>The Spherical Wave Structure of Matter in Space</title>
		<link>http://www.metafilter.com/78755/The%2DSpherical%2DWave%2DStructure%2Dof%2DMatter%2Din%2DSpace</link>
		<description>&lt;a href="http://www.spaceandmotion.com/"&gt;On Truth and Reality.&lt;/a&gt; Despite several thousand years of failure to correctly understand physical reality (hence the current &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Philosophy-Postmodernism.htm&quot;&gt;postmodern view that this is impossible&lt;/a&gt;) it is actually very simple to work out how matter exists and moves about in Space. The rules of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Ockhams-Razor.htm&quot;&gt;Science (Occam&apos;s Razor / Simplicity)&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spaceandmotion.com/metaphysics.htm&quot;&gt;Metaphysics (Dynamic Unity of Reality)&lt;/a&gt; require that reality be described from only one single source existing, as Leibniz wrote: &lt;em&gt;&quot;because of the interconnection of all things with one another.&quot;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;The Four Main Purposes of this Website&lt;/strong&gt;

1. To help people understand truth and reality
2. To realize that we are structures of the universe
3. To solve the central problems of knowledge
4. To share this knowledge with others

Deduce the most &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Most-Simple-Scientific-Theory-Reality.htm&quot;&gt;simple science theory of reality&lt;/a&gt;, the wave structure of matter in Space, then deduce from this to show that it works. There is no opinion involved - it shows that science does work - we just needed the correct (most simple) foundations.

Given the Wave Structure of Matter in Space it is now possible to explain what mathematics is, how it can exist in the universe, and thus why it is so well suited for describing physical quantities (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spaceandmotion.com/mathematical-physics/logic-truth-reality.htm&quot;&gt;mathematical physics&lt;/a&gt;).

We can simplify Einstein&apos;s foundations of representing matter as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Physics-Albert-Einstein-Theory-Relativity.htm&quot;&gt;continuous fields in space-time, to waves in continuous space&lt;/a&gt;. It does lead to a very simple, sensible foundation for understanding physical reality, and thus how you exist in the universe.

This article basically explains the main subjects of quantum theory from a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Physics-Quantum-Theory-Mechanics.htm&quot;&gt;Wave Structure of Matter foundation&lt;/a&gt; (wave mechanics). If you prefer shorter summaries just browse the quantum physics links on either side of the page.

The purpose of the Cosmology page is to simply explain the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Cosmology.htm&quot;&gt;two cosmology theories that are consistent with current observations&lt;/a&gt;. You will need a basic understanding of the Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) before you read it. This WSM cosmology is actually describing what you really are, how you exist in this space of the universe and interact with everything around you.

There is a revolution coming in the foundations of our knowledge because we have solved the central problem of metaphysics, of what exists (space) that causes and connects the many things we experience (waves in space that form matter, the discrete and separate particle an illusion of our limited senses). Matter is large, a structure of space, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Philosophy.htm&quot;&gt;this truth about reality will change humanity&lt;/a&gt;.

If we are to discuss &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spaceandmotion.com/theology-morality-god-world-religions.htm&quot;&gt;God and Religion&lt;/a&gt;, it is obvious that we must clearly define the meaning of these words (as all words are human constructions). In Philosophy God is generally referred to as the One thing that exists, infinite and eternal, that causes and connects the many things. Likewise, Religion, from Latin &apos;religare&apos; meaning &apos;to bind&apos;, describes our connection to God as the One thing which exists. From this foundation we then see the clear connection between the sciences of philosophy, physics, metaphysics, and theology, as they are all founded on this Reality of One thing existing.

As humans have &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spaceandmotion.com/evolution-ecology-nature-culture-society.htm&quot;&gt;evolved from Nature&lt;/a&gt; they ultimately depend upon Nature for their survival. Until we understand what we are as humans (what matter is) and how we are connected to the universe (reality), it is impossible for humanity to be wise, and to be able to evolve cultural knowledge that enables us to live in harmony with Nature.

It is well known that our senses are deceptive, that when we see things as being separate and discrete bodies this is an illusion. Using science terminology then all we are really talking about is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spaceandmotion.com/health/index.htm&quot;&gt;evolution and ecology&lt;/a&gt;. That all things in the universe (including life on earth) are interconnected and changing (the dynamic unity of reality).

Teaching people how to think correctly and to use language carefully (to work out the truth for themselves) is a pretty &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Philosophy-Education.htm&quot;&gt;good start for education&lt;/a&gt; (i.e. by teaching philosophy to students from a young age).

If we are to improve human societies (which has become an urgent problem) we must consider the forces that determine their evolution. And four of the most significant factors are &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spaceandmotion.com/society/politics-economics-truth-utopia.htm&quot;&gt;market economics, politics&lt;/a&gt;, education (the knowledge foundations of the people) and Nature. </description>

		<description>&lt;a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=devils+lake+nd&amp;amp;ll=48.025754,-98.892059&amp;amp;spn=0.205481,0.494453&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;Devils Lake&lt;/a&gt; is the largest body of water in North Dakota, and it&apos;s growing.    Landlocked and continuously fed by surrounding rivers and lakes, its size corresponds to the amount of rainfall and can &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.swc.state.nd.us/projects/newdevilslake/graphics/DL_Water_Levels_Map.jpg&quot;&gt;vary dramatically&lt;/a&gt;.  In fact, &lt;a href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?q=devils+lake+nd&amp;ll=48.088629,-99.132385&amp;spn=0.179386,0.247227&amp;t=k&amp;hl=en&quot;&gt;recent changes&lt;/a&gt; aren&apos;t even &lt;a href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?q=devils+lake+nd&amp;ll=48.088629,-99.132385&amp;spn=0.119826,0.247227&amp;hl=en&quot;&gt;on the map&lt;/a&gt; yet.  With more rainfall on the horizon, the government of North Dakota is building &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.swc.state.nd.us/projects/newdevilslake/outlet.html&quot;&gt;an artificial outlet&lt;/a&gt; for the lake, channeling the water northwards.  But Manitoba doesn&apos;t want the water, fearing that an &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/ArticleNews/TPStory/LAC/20050712/DEVILSLAKE12/TPNational/TopStories/&quot;&gt;invasion of Devils Lake species will seriously upset the Red River&apos;s ecological balance and harm the Manitoban fishing industry&lt;/a&gt;.  Nonetheless, the ND government seems determined to prevent the loss of any more &lt;a href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?q=devils+lake+nd&amp;ll=48.064842,-98.955917&amp;spn=0.005606,0.007726&amp;t=k&amp;hl=en&quot;&gt; trees and farmland&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?q=devils+lake+nd&amp;ll=48.087577,-99.031813&amp;spn=0.005606,0.007726&amp;t=k&amp;hl=en&quot;&gt;roadways and villages&lt;/a&gt;.  </description>
