In September 2006, while roaming the Internet, I came accross an interesting concept: WSM. The WSM is attractive because of its (relative) simplicity. The theory claims to do away with the complexity of multiple dimensions (such as the 4 dimensions of general relativity and the 11 dimensions in String theory) and clarify some hereto unexplainable phenomena (such as the particle/wave duality in Quantum physics). Most of the information on this page is taken (and adapted) from Milo Wolff's website

The first person quoted in many of the WSM articles is William Clifford (1845 - 1879), a famous mathematician, responsible for the Clifford Algebras. In one of his lectures On the Postulates of the Science of Space, he claims

I hold

1. That small portions of space are in fact analogous to little hills on a surface which is on the avarage flat, namely that the ordinary laws of geometry are not valid in them.
2. That this property of being curved or distorted is continually being passed on from one portion of space to another after the manner of a wave.
3. That this variation of the curvarure of space is what really happens in that phenomenon which we call the motion of matter, whether ponderable or ethereal.
4. That in this physical world nothing else takes place but this variation subject to the law of continuity.

In 1904, J. J. Thompson discovered the electron using the cathode-ray tube. The 'material - like' characteristics of these electrons (such as charge and mass) convinced many that electrons were discrete particles.

In 1930, Schroedinger's wave functions (which calculates energy transfer values) showed that it was not necessary for electrons to be discrete. In 1937, Irwin Schroedinger, regarded as the father of Quantum theory wrote

• What we observe as material bodies and forces are nothing but shapes and variations in the structure of space. Particles are just 'appearances'.

In 1945, Wheeler and Feynman established a Partial Wave Structure while attempting to find the energy-transfer mechanism of the electron. This was achieved by calculating electromagnetic radiation from an accelerated electron. Their electron generated inward and outward spherical waves and evoked a response of the universe from absorber charges. They described the wave behaviour as follows:

• Absorber charges at a large distance produce spherical waves headed towards the source. At the moment the source is accelerated these waves just touch the source. Thus all the waves from the absorber charges form an array of approximately plane waves marching towards the source. The Huygens enevelope of these plane waves is a spherical in-going wave. The sphere collapses on the source, and then pours out again as a divergent outward wave.

In 1950, Einstein's intuitive understanding of nature told him that discrete particles cannot exist because their borders would be an abrupt discontinuity. He also claimed that Bohr's model of the atom can't be found in nature. He also rejected Mazwell's field equations, so beloved by electrical engineers:

• The combination of the idea of a continuous field with that of material points discontinuous in space appears inconsistent. Hence the material paricle has no place as a jundamental concept in a field theory. Thus even apart from the fact that gravitation is not included, Maxwell's electrodynamics cannot be considered a complete theory.

In 1985, Milo Wolff, used a scalar wave equation with spherical quantum wave solutions to derive the Wave Structure of Matter.

Akira Tonomura, an authority on electron holography published his book The Quantum World unveiled by Electron waves in 1998.

From Einstein's last Equation by Milo Wolff

• Philosophers and mathematicians such as Aristotle, Parminedes, Leibniz, Descartes, Spinoza and Kant believed that the entire universe (matter and motion) was derived from one substance. Ordinary space fulfills this role.
• We cannot measure anything in nature without an energy exchange that tells us something has happened. Finding the energy transfer mechanism between particles is part and parcel of understanding the electron and the natural laws.
• Energy of motion is exchanging back and forth with energy of position. This energy exchanging property is the heart of the Wave Equation.
• This intermingled exchange of waves makes each particle like a 3D hologram of all others in the universe
• Inertia is an interaction between an accelerated object and its surrounding space. You should not try to imagine that the object is interacting with the distant stars. Instead the density of the surrounding space is already created by the waves from the distant stars.
