Site Introduction (2010): Despite several thousand years of failure to correctly understand physical reality (hence the current postmodern view that this is impossible) there is an obvious solution.
Simply unite Science (Occam's Razor / Simplicity) with Metaphysics (Dynamic Unity of Reality) and describe reality from only one substance existing, as Leibniz wrote;
'Reality cannot be found except in One single source, because of the interconnection of all things with one another'.
Given we all experience many minds and many material things, but always in one common Space, we are thus required to describe physical reality in terms of Space. We then find there is only one solution, a Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) where the electron is a spherical standing wave. See Wave Diagrams.
In hindsight the error was obvious, to try and describe an interconnected reality with discrete 'particles', which then required forces / fields to connect them in space and time. This was always just a mathematical solution which never explained how matter was connected across the universe.
I realise that there are a lot of 'crackpot' theories about truth and reality on the internet, but it is easy to show that the Wave Structure of Matter is the correct solution as it deduces the laws of Nature (the fundamentals of Physics & Philosophy) perfectly (there are no opinions). While the Wave Structure of Matter is obvious once known, to begin it will seem strange simply because it takes time for our minds to adjust to new knowledge.
For those who are religious / spiritual, I think Albert Einstein expresses the enlightened view of God. He writes 'I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings.' This harmony arises from a Wave Structure of Matter in Space (we are all interconnected in this space that we all commonly experience). This unity of reality (God, Brahman, Tao, Spirit, Energy, Light, Vibration) is central to all major world religions, thus their common moral foundation of 'Do unto others as to thyself' as the other is part of the self.
Please help our world (human society / life on earth) by sharing this knowledge.
Clearly our world is in great trouble due to human overpopulation and the resultant destruction of Nature, climate change and the pollution of air, land and water. 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).
We are listed as one of the Top Philosophy Websites on the Internet with around 600,000 page views each week, and rank in the top 20 in Google for many academic search terms - so we just need a bit of help to get in the top five. 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.
A world now in great need of wisdom from truth and reality.
Sincerely,

Tanzania woos tourists to FIFA SA World Cup
Natural Resources and Tourism minister Shamsa Mwangunga has invited more foreign tourists to tour Tanzania in the forthcoming FIFA Football World Cup matches to view the new Seventh World Wonder and experience the country’s warm hospitality.
She revealed this at the just-ended International Tourism Fair (ITB) held in Berlin, Germany from March 10 to14, this year.
She said that the event would bring in more than three million travellers worldwide to Africa, adding that many of these would visit Tanzania.
Although we encourage them to visit our country, last year the tourism sector in Tanzania was declared the leading economic sector contributing to the GDP.
“This position had been held by agriculture for many years, while in 2008, the number of international tourist arrivals to Tanzania stood at 770,000 from 720,000 tourists recorded in 2007,” she noted.
She said the total tourist revenue also increased from USD1.037bn in 2007 to USD1.270bn in 2008.
Also during this period, the number of German tourists to Tanzania maintained significant increase having reached 29,000 tourists against 58,240 British tourists.
“Our target is to welcome 1 million tourists by 2012, who will expectedly generate USD1.5bn to the economy,” she said.
In order to reach this target, the government was undertaking several steps to increase hotel accommodation, improve infrastructure around the country and increasing marketing promotion campaigns overseas.
She said that Tanzania was out to build a strong posture internationally as key transformations were happening across the political and economic spectra.
Tanzania's current strength is based in abundant natural resources including wildlife, beautiful beaches along the ocean and lakes, favourable climate, history and culture as well as its warm and friendly people, who speak Kiswahili.
“With a new wave of tourism developments and promotion, Tanzania expects to assume a higher rank in the list of African tourist destinations in the next five years.” she revealed.
Tanzania is the largest country in East Africa with 28 per cent of its land set aside for conservation—boasts 16 national parks and 34 game reserves, and is the home to Kilimanjaro, the tallest free-standing mountain in the world, world’s renowned Serengeti plains and now acknowledged as the new Seventh Wonder of the World where the Olduvai Gorge known as the Cradle of Mankind is located. Besides, there are dozens of other tourist luring areas including Zanzibar

Tanzania, Kenya carry out joint wildlife census
The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) in partnership with African Wildlife Foundation (AWF), Amboseli Trust for Elephants (ATE), Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute (TAWIRI), Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) are conducting a joint census of wildlife in the greater Amboseli ecosystem.
The census is particularly crucial given that the park’s ecosystem was hard hit by the recent prolonged drought which led to massive deaths of zebras, elephants, buffaloes and wildebeest, according to a KWS statement on Friday
The census will includes observations on habitat degradation, water distribution, livestock numbers, human settlement patterns and illegal activities, including logging.
The census, to cover Kenya’s Amboseli National park and Tanzania’s West Kilimanjaro region, began on Sunday, February 8 this year and is scheduled to end on Thursday, March 4.
KWS has been carrying out regular aerial census every three years in the Amboseli Ecosystem, the last being carried out in 2007.
In the meantime, the Tanzania Minister for Natural Resources and Tourism, Shamsa Mwangunga has re-affirmed Tanzania’s resolve to seek permission to sell its 90 tonnes of ivory stockpiled in warehouses.
“We have very many good reasons why we want to sell the ivory,” she said over the phone yesterday. These reasons will be known on March 20 when we present our paper to the CITES at the forthcoming meeting,” she said.
Tanzania has asked for a permit to dispose of the ivory from CITES as required by international agreements but the Kenya government is campaigning against Tanzania on this issue.
Mwangunga said international agreements permits the sell of ivory from any member nation as long as the ivory is categorized as “legal ivory.” Legal ivory refers to tusks acquired from elephants which died from natural death, or from death caused by the action of cropping destructive herd.
Ivory acquired through poaching is illegal and permits are not allowed for their sale.
Tanzania’s 90 tonnes of ivory is all legal, she said.
