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.

There are moments in history when America has turned its back on its principles and withdrawn from past commitments in service of higher goals. For example, US-Soviet Cold War competition compelled America to make a range of deals with unsavory and undemocratic figures across Latin America and Africa in service of geostrategic aims. The United States overlooked mass atrocities against the Bengali population in modern-day Bangladesh in the early 1970s in service of its tilt toward Pakistan, a relationship the Nixon administration deemed critical to its larger aims in developing relations with China. Then, of course, America switched diplomatic recognition
The international women’s soccer match between Taiwan and New Zealand at the Kaohsiung Nanzih Football Stadium, scheduled for Tuesday last week, was canceled at the last minute amid safety concerns over poor field conditions raised by the visiting team. The Football Ferns, as New Zealand’s women’s soccer team are known, had arrived in Taiwan one week earlier to prepare and soon raised their concerns. Efforts were made to improve the field, but the replacement patches of grass could not grow fast enough. The Football Ferns canceled the closed-door training match and then days later, the main event against Team Taiwan. The safety
The Chinese government on March 29 sent shock waves through the Tibetan Buddhist community by announcing the untimely death of one of its most revered spiritual figures, Hungkar Dorje Rinpoche. His sudden passing in Vietnam raised widespread suspicion and concern among his followers, who demanded an investigation. International human rights organization Human Rights Watch joined their call and urged a thorough investigation into his death, highlighting the potential involvement of the Chinese government. At just 56 years old, Rinpoche was influential not only as a spiritual leader, but also for his steadfast efforts to preserve and promote Tibetan identity and cultural
Strategic thinker Carl von Clausewitz has said that “war is politics by other means,” while investment guru Warren Buffett has said that “tariffs are an act of war.” Both aphorisms apply to China, which has long been engaged in a multifront political, economic and informational war against the US and the rest of the West. Kinetically also, China has launched the early stages of actual global conflict with its threats and aggressive moves against Taiwan, the Philippines and Japan, and its support for North Korea’s reckless actions against South Korea that could reignite the Korean War.
