Tapestry of Light: A Scientific Insight into the Nature of Material Reality

by Grahame Blackwell

You’ve probably heard it said that matter is composed of light - frozen light, crystallised light. It’s a beautiful imagery, a wonderfully inspirational perspective on the material world. It’s a concept our hearts embrace as ’feeling right’, one our heads would love to believe. What, then, if it could be shown to you - in terms a layman could easily follow - that the whole of material reality is indeed composed of light? Not frozen, not crystallised, but vibrant, dynamic, unimaginably active and creative. What if you were left in absolutely no doubt that your own physical body, as well as everything around you, is formed of the stuff of starlight and rainbows? And that this would, at the same time, explain all those features of Special Relativity that have lain unexplained for over 100 years? Einstein told us that mass and energy are equivalent; Schrödinger told us of ‘zitterbewegung’, or oscillation in the position of an electron around its path, at the speed of light; Landau (another Nobel winner) told us that particle-antiparticle production in supercolliders is always the result of collision of two high-energy photons; and in 1997 researchers at the SLAC particle accelerator at Stanford University demonstrated this, colliding photons in a laser cavity until they reached sufficiently high energies – and, presto! Light became matter! Conversely, it’s well known that a matter particle and its corresponding antiparticle annihilate each other on contact to release two high-energy photons. Building on a wealth of such discoveries made over the past 150 years, many of them by renowned Nobel Laureates, Tapestry of Light shows that light and matter are just alternative states of the energy we refer to as ‘photons’. The material world is composed of photons moving through space as light (including non-visible forms such as X-rays and radio waves) and photons bound up into tiny localised bundles which we experience as particles of matter – all of them moving at the speed of light, either linearly or cyclically – effectively ‘circling on the spot’. This description of matter explains (for the very first time) every observed effect of Special time dilation, apparent invariance of the speed of light relative to moving objects, E = Mc squared, consistency of the fundamental laws of physics across different states of [constant-velocity] states of motion. [General Relativity is covered – together with much, much more - in the author’s later book, ‘Atoms of Light’.] Review from the Journal of The Scientific and Medical “An exploration of the nature of physical reality that depicts our universe as ‘a 4-dimensional interplay of (cyclic, vibrational) light-flows, varying dynamically in time and space, woven by consciousness.’ This means that we are also sparks of consciousness with bodies likewise constituted of light and part of the co-creative process of unfolding towards greater complexity and coherence. This energy-flow paradigm of matter is shown to provide a rationale for the constancy of physical laws, and mass is the energy-flow forming an object. The nature of gravity can also be deduced from the light-flow structure of matter. Thus one can understand light as the currency of the cosmos and the energy-flows as time. The view put forward is consistent with the findings of relativity and quantum mechanics, but provides a new and dynamic understanding of the world we live in.” This new insight into the nature of material reality opens up exciting new possibilities and sets aside limitations imposed on our scientific endeavours by the conventional view (now over 100 yea
