Hidden reality
Have you ever wondered why, when you look through a school science textbook, there is no relationship between the chapters? The solar system in one, living things, the weather, matter and energy all just sitting there to be memorized, for what reason? This problem goes right back to Isaac Newton, who got the shock of his life when he tried to apply his mathematics to a planet and two moons and it did not work at all.
If you keep that a secret, nobody notices, but test it for yourself and look in any advanced physics textbook — the solar system is not mentioned. The problem was made more difficult 100 years later, when French mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace wrote the equations that do describe the motion of the solar system. They do not appear in physics textbooks either — why? The equations do not include any mention of gravity; this is truly shocking, you all thought it was Einstein’s relativity and Newton’s laws of motion, right? Wrong. It is called the three-body problem and was addressed by Henri Poincare, the father of chaos and nonlinear dynamics.
More than two bodies means the system is not deterministic, and that is what physics is supposed to be: You can predict where everything will be in the future. The solar system has predictable orbits, but complete chaos inside the rings and belts. Chemistry and life also have unpredictable outcomes that become ever more complex, so they stay in separate books.
Move on another 100 years to a small team of scientists in Greater Taichung who, quite by accident, found themselves unraveling the problem two years ago. Now let us make it even more messy and introduce quantum mechanics; this is sometimes probabilistic, sometimes completely random and sometimes deterministic, so it seems to contradict classical mechanics.
We have already seen that just three bodies have become chaotic and nondeterministic, but we just ignore it. We also ignore the fact that with entities on a large scale, we know the position and momentum, but entities come in uncertain quantities, while atoms come in exact quantities, but their position and momentum are uncertain.
The classical world and the atomic world are mirror images of each other; you swap what you know about one part for what you do not know about the other. This does not explain chemistry or life, which goes from simple to complex. Physics cannot describe how this happens because it only has the second law of thermodynamics, which runs in the other direction (entropy). It is called the “missing part of physics” (Roger Penrose), or the “hidden reality” (Brian Greene).
Jump to 1989, when I was reading the first really good book on chaos and nonlinear dynamics by Robert C. Hilborn.
He writes: “The common features of nonlinear behavior are not the physical features of the system. This means the mathematics is not related to whatever the components of the system are; they could be a colony of bees, an electrical circuit or a cell.”
He also writes that the mathematics of systems goes beyond predictions made by the fundamental laws of physics.
Anything complex in the universe behaves according to a new set of mathematics which already has a proof written by Mitchell Feigenbaum that shows it is universal. It also has two constants that underpin the whole of the mathematics.
Now let us make the big change that shows how quantum mechanics and relativity are not inconsistent. If we stop trying to describe the behavior of everything in the universe by physics alone, but state that it is a mathematical universe that has physics, chemistry, biology and systems, the contradictions disappear.
Modern physics asks us to consider other universes being created to explain the probabilistic nature of atoms (many worlds) — complete nonsense — but now we can say it is exactly what we are looking for to explain the probabilistic distributions Gregor Mendel found with his peas, and the randomness at the atomic level is just what you need to produce a genuine chance of getting a male or female. This produces an even distribution in any given population.
So, if Erwin Schroedinger had not chosen a cat in a box that had to be alive or dead, but male or female, and he had not tried to impose a human misconception on atoms, we would not be in such a mess. We should say that Albert Einstein and Werner Heisenberg did not stand a chance because they did not know about the mathematics of nonlinear dynamics, which we have only recently begun to uncover.
Now we have a new perspective we can teach how the universe self-assembles using the same principle again and again. The team in Taichung have written a small equation that describes how the universe is built from self-generating quantities and relationships that produce ever more quantities and relationships. If this sounds difficult, then I can tell you we have been allowed to go into schools in Taichung and teach it to children as young as seven.
All the mathematics and science is built upon proofs and verification which is now available for all to see. We have made a series of videos of us teaching this to the children, and another series that talks you through the whole new perspective step by step. These will be made available on YouTube.

Minister of Labor Hung Sun-han (洪申翰) on April 9 said that the first group of Indian workers could arrive as early as this year as part of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in India and the India Taipei Association. Signed in February 2024, the MOU stipulates that Taipei would decide the number of migrant workers and which industries would employ them, while New Delhi would manage recruitment and training. Employment would be governed by the laws of both countries. Months after its signing, the two sides agreed that 1,000 migrant workers from India would
In recent weeks, Taiwan has witnessed a surge of public anxiety over the possible introduction of Indian migrant workers. What began as a policy signal from the Ministry of Labor quickly escalated into a broader controversy. Petitions gathered thousands of signatures within days, political figures issued strong warnings, and social media became saturated with concerns about public safety and social stability. At first glance, this appears to be a straightforward policy question: Should Taiwan introduce Indian migrant workers or not? However, this framing is misleading. The current debate is not fundamentally about India. It is about Taiwan’s labor system, its
Japan’s imminent easing of arms export rules has sparked strong interest from Warsaw to Manila, Reuters reporting found, as US President Donald Trump wavers on security commitments to allies, and the wars in Iran and Ukraine strain US weapons supplies. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s ruling party approved the changes this week as she tries to invigorate the pacifist country’s military industrial base. Her government would formally adopt the new rules as soon as this month, three Japanese government officials told Reuters. Despite largely isolating itself from global arms markets since World War II, Japan spends enough on its own
On March 31, the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs released declassified diplomatic records from 1995 that drew wide domestic media attention. One revelation stood out: North Korea had once raised the possibility of diplomatic relations with Taiwan. In a meeting with visiting Chinese officials in May 1995, as then-Chinese president Jiang Zemin (江澤民) prepared for a visit to South Korea, North Korean officials objected to Beijing’s growing ties with Seoul and raised Taiwan directly. According to the newly released records, North Korean officials asked why Pyongyang should refrain from developing relations with Taiwan while China and South Korea were expanding high-level
