THE NATURE OF NATURE: A History of Science, Thought, and Health Revolutionized and Reframed
Note from the Publisher
Once in a lifetime, a publisher gets to publish a book that is so revolutionary that certain constraints must be set aside; when an author is both so brilliant and so frustrating that a book takes a whole lifetime to manifestand when manifested is deeply imperfect and perfectly perfect.
This is not a book for everyone. It is a book about a theory that goes beyond what any theory has attempted to theorize. And its very appropriate that it started with the human heart. The beating human heart is in motion, and healthiest when exhibiting variability. This variability is motion in motion. It is the hallmark of life. For motion and life are all waves.
It is only in the past century that we have asked the questions Is something a particle or a wave? And how can it possibly be both? Scientists from all different lineages have been unable to reconcile the differences, the gaps, the conflicting information, the mystery.
With this book, this theory, I believe it is resolved. It is a wave. Everything is waves. Or to be more specific, everything is SuperWaves. Everything is waves waving within waves. There are no particles; underneath it all, there are ultimately only waves.
Indigenous tribes have intuitively stated since the beginning that everything is connected and we are all one. Interestingly, without even awareness of or interest in these traditions, Irv Dardik has shown how this is not just possible but true.
Thats not to say that the information science has gathered until now is not true. In fact, we couldnt truly believe in the oneness of everything without science inventing the tools to search for the pieces and try to solve the puzzle. This theory, this book, is a new lens to look throughthe birth of a whole new kind of science, research, and exploration.
This is just the beginning. This is your invitation. Prepare to see the world, life, and science in a whole new way.
INTRODUCTION
The Discovery of SuperWaves and How It Changes Everything
In this book, I present a novel understanding of the nature of nature. I will share a discovery that reveals the nature of the stuff of the universewhat we know as stars and planets, living organisms and particlesultimately, all that exists.
Our current understanding of the nature of nature, the product of generations of scientific endeavor, is that matter is the raw stuff of the universe and is composed of particles that interact in predictable ways. True, in the twilight world of quantum mechanics, strange and hard-to-believe phenomena do occur, including particles sometimes behaving as if they are waves and sometimes as if they are particles. Ultimately, however, our understanding of the nature of nature is that it is a whole made up of parts (particles) that are essentially independent of each other.
This view of nature has deep roots in our thinking. It seems to match our experience of the world around us, and it has allowed us to develop fields of science, technology, and medicine that appear to have served us well and continue to do so.
The understanding that I have developed over the past 30-some years and am presenting in this book is that nature is not a whole made of parts that can be disassembled and examined independently, as if it were a car engine. Instead, nature is the manifestation of an unbreakable continuum of waves waving within waves. This means that the reality underlying the world we know and experience is an inherent continuity of waves at all scales: natural waves that coalesce and spread out to be everything from the quantum world all the way up to the universe as a whole, including its living and nonliving elements. These are not the waves of mathematical equations, but rather are real, normal, observable waves in nature. Their novelty is that they relate in ways never before recognized. They possess a surprising interdependence across scales that lends nature a wholeness, different from the view of nature as a whole made of fully separate parts. And they offer unprecedented explanatory power for the entire natural universe.
As I developed this novel view of nature, I came to realize that waves nested within waves nested within waves are the stuff behind what we experience as matter, motion, space, time, order, and disorder. They are the deeper identity of all the natural phenomena we know, such as light and energy, forces, thermodynamics, emergent complexity, quantum physics, and gravity. They resolve the mysterious coexistence of waves and particles on the atomic and subatomic levels. They form a continuum whose discovery answers our questions of what it is, how it works, what holds things together, and why things fall apart. All of matter and the way it behaves, and the order and disorder we see in the world, is the outcome of this continuum of waves nested within waves nested within waves: what I call SuperWaves. Ultimately, SuperWaves underlies and is the universe.
Now, I am the first to admit that accepting that the pages on which you are reading these words, whether as a hard copy or on a screen, are the manifestation of wavesnot particlesis counterintuitive at best, and may even seem impossible.
But if you can suspend your incredulity long enough to hear what is, in effect, one long argument that I present here, I believe you will come to see the reality and explanatory force of SuperWaves yourself.
