Matching is partly based on the Wave Theory of Matter/Space Resonance theory of astrophysicist Milo Wolff, which posits inwaves and outwaves.

re scientists only cataloguers of information about nature, or are they explorers of their own dynamic

interactions with it? Are all of us only passive observers of an unfolding cosmos or are we somehow active participants in its very evolution? These are heady questions, but they are preoccupying scientists and non-scientists alike as never before.

If it is true, as physicist Sir James Jeans once proposed, that the universe is more like a great thought than a great machine, then information rules the universe, not matter. Quantum physics has shown that this may indeed be true. And the shift of focus—from matter to information as the foundational aspect of the universe— fundamentally changes the rules of this grand game of existence that we are all playing.

As Einstein and so many other physicists have suggested over the years—and according to a view that has become part of what’s called the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum physics— Nature may know ahead of time what it is we are preparing to ask about Her and respond in

kind. Physics has shown conclusively, according to the standard model of quantum physics, that an elementary particle is both wave and particle at the same time (its nature is to be in a superposition of all possible states). It is not until we set up an experiment and take a measurement that the particle shows itself as either a localised concentration of energy (a point particle) or a spread out fl ow of energy (a wave). The decision point in how it reveals itself is what kind of experiment we carry out—what kind of question we are asking or measurement we are taking. In some way we don’t yet understand and so cannot yet defi nitively explain, our decision—our intention—forces nature’s hand and determines how “reality” reveals itself. Reality at the macroscopic level of our everyday world appears to be based on—and perhaps even determined by—our interactions with nature at the deepest, most fundamental quantum levels.

As physicist John Wheeler says, we may live in a participatory universe. So how does it work? How do we actually infl uence or use the information that forms the cosmos?
