In order to create matter the supermind would need tools of some kind and a substance to work upon. The only tools available, however, would be the switching waves it spontaneously generates and the only substances available would be the positive and negative cosmons of the Ether. Somehow these needed to be deployed to create a rich higher reality. Hence it was necessary to use these switching waves, which are waves of pure energy propagating through the matrix of filaments, to create the illusion of sub-atomic particles. Then these needed to be controlled by coarser switching waves so that they formed up into atomic structures.
Which leads us to another exciting discovery. The theory resolves the puzzle troubling the late and famous Nobel Prize-winner Richard Feynman. When speaking about the enigma of "wave-particle duality" he said, 'Its crazy, but that's how the universe works!" The universe does indeed seem to operate by waves which double as particles as well, but to Feynman and other physicists, this seemed an extraordinarily complicated way to build a universe. Now the reason does not seem so puzzling -it was the only way it could be done!
Wave-Particle
Duality
Wave-particle duality is best illustrated by the famous two-slit experiment carried out by Thomas Young, a physician by profession according to Shamos. He was also a man of amazing versatility who made many valuable contributions in many other disciplines. He set up the experiment to prove that light was a wave phenomenon in contradiction to the opinion which Newton had expressed more than a hundred years previously. To Newton light was a stream of "corpuscules"
- rather like a stream of minute machine gun bullets. Young's two-slit experiment is illustrated in FIG.8.
He reflected sunlight through a hole in a blind, marked "collimating slit", and let it beam into a darkened room. Then it passed through a pair of very fine closely spaced vertical slits formed in a thin mask. Finally the light ended up illuminating a screen some distance behind. If Newton w as correct, then a shadowgraph of two bright lines would have appeared. Instead the "interference pattern" characteristic of waves was seen. Light emerges as from two sources from the slits and spreads out in ever-growing rings like the ripples from two pebbles dropped into a pond together. And like these ripples, as the waves cross over each other they mutually interfere. Where crest crosses crest the waves double up as shown by the thickened columns of lines and in between, where crest crosses trough, they cancel out leaving smooth water. This is why a pattern of alternating light and dark vertical "fringes" appeared on the screen.
Later, when very sensitive photo-detectors became available, beams of light of very low intensity could be explored. It was found then that light arrived in individual "clicks" showing that Newton had been right after all. Light came in individual packets which Einstein called "photons". He obtained the Nobel prize for his work on photo-electricity and this also could only be explained if light consisted of a stream of particles.
So next, Young's two slit experiment was set up again and explored with photo detectors in place of the screen. Photons only came one at a time, yet over a period of many hours the same interference pattern appeared, built up speckle by speckle.
And this result threw the entire scientific community into total confusion. Even to this day no satisfactory explanation has appeared in the literature! The problem is that one photon, as a particle, can only go through one slit, yet it behaves as if controlled by a wave which goes through both slits simultaneously.
Then deBroglie appeared and suggested all sub-atomic particles should behave this way, having both a wave and particle nature at the same time. Further experiments showed this to be the case. After that, Shrodinger produced his famous wave equation to describe the atom. It was already known that the hydrogen atom consisted of a heavy particle called a proton which carried a positive electric charge and a lightweight electron having a negative electric charge. The two charges attracted each other by the electric force. Shrodinger took account of this force and showed it caused the waves to curl up into little balls called "orbitals" and these defined the shape of the atom.
In FIG.9 a crystal is depicted built from a number of atoms having little circles for their nuclei and little dots to represent the electrons. A photon comes in at one place and happens to hit an electron which is then knocked out of its orbital. In the new explanation, any sub-atomic particle is actually a particle-series in which individual constructs are joined end to end in time but not in position. New copies appear in random places, though confined to the orbital, so that the electron appears to jump about and generate the effect of a diffuse cloud of electric charge: yet at any instant there is only one electron. When struck, the series has a new route.
What the new theory is telling us is that this higher reality of matter is a contrived reality. All the quantum rules by which it operates, like Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and Schrodinger's wave equation, are mathematical constructs produced by the basic reality of Ether. The Ether itself does not depend on quantum rules, instead it operates on the simple so-called "classical laws" - the Extended Newtonian laws of motion together with the conservation laws of momentum and energy in fact. Then above the quantum level, at the "macroscopic" level we perceive with our eyes and ears, the world again appears to be governed by only the classical laws.
The
Grid, Mind, Brain and Matter
It is now necessary to put all these things together and FIG.10 tries to illustrate the ensemble. The background Grid, alias the structured Ether, is shown at the top with two minds linked by information transfer via its filaments. Each is just a more highly organised switching pattern but is otherwise simply part of the grid. The rest of the grid acts as a machine-like computing system which has been programmed by the conscious parts to generate the structure of matter. Each mind, as shown better in the bottom illustration, contains an information filter-barrier. This is an enclosing layer of the grid programmed to prevent information, represented by letter i, from going into the central core but lets it travel out so that its experiences can serve to enrich the whole. The outer zones, being interconnected, form the universal subconscious, synonymous with the supermind and creator of the universe. Several brains made from matter each connect only with the core of each sub-mind and each brain has sense organs made from matter. Only eyes are shown and these all observe the same higher reality, appearing as atoms generated by the same grid. These are observed by reflected photons indicated by wavy lines.
In this way sub-minds are only permitted to interact with one another via information received from the contrived higher reality, which indeed, as part of the supermind, it helped to set up in the first place. The net effect, however, is to provide an environment in which sub-minds can interact in meaningful ways. An environment in which they can both co-operate and compete. An environment in which they can find outlets for their creative drives in the production of art and music. An environment indeed which permits development of the soul.
