The Nature of Nature: The Discovery of SuperWaves and How It Changes Everything Hardcover – May 16, 2017

Possibly the most important book ever written. That probably sounds like a big claim - it is! This book shows very clearly and precisely how all of science is predicated on an assumption that simply isn't true; then reveals a discovery of 'the nature of nature' - how nature actually works. The implications are astounding - for science, for medicine, for everything! Not only that but it's very well written and readable, even for a humanities type like myself. If you read one book this year I recommend that it be this one!!!

The Nature of Nature: The Discovery of SuperWaves and How it Changes Everything starts with the author asking readers to suspend incredulity to read his beliefs on SuperWaves. He says SuperWaves is a discovery to tell us what nature is, not a philosophy of nature. He offers readers ‘a new understanding of the steps we must take to understand nature.’Part 1 underpins the way we think about nature. He discusses the idea that nature is a ‘whole’ made up of ‘parts’ – in our understanding of the Original Theory of Everything. Part 2 describes the basis of the Puzzle Hypothesis. Part 3 discusses today’s understanding of nature, although it is difficult and complex to understand. It discusses the commonality between science and nature – i.e. waves.Part 4 begins with the author’s view, and how he came to recognize ‘the heartwave, a phenomen of waves changing together, simultaneously, across scales.’ He moves from the cellular, biochemical, and molecular behavior levels to the quantum realm. He writes about what we must do to protect our personal health and the health of the environment – clean energy. Part 5 is a call to action.Irving Dardik takes a long time to explain the past, before he gets to the present – and his view. In discussing nature, the author’s points become even more interesting: temperatures, climate zones, cooperation and conflict, collective synchronization, etc. This is a fascinating look at nature, that looks at everything from quantum physic to thermodynamics, to the origins of health and disease, and the linkage between personal health and the health of the environment.

I have never been more impressed with an understanding of the world in which we live. If you are interested in good health and longevity and how to best understand those issues, the book is a must read. It is the work of a genius, and should be read by all scientists, physicians, scholars, but more importantly, individuals who enjoy a better understanding of life, health and longevity. As a former student of science and the son of a physician, Irv Dardik's "The Nature of Nature" answers many questions and offers good advice for future implementation. I am grateful to Dr. Dardik for his most valuable explanations and guide to a longer and healthier life.

I have experienced the truth of this book first hand. I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 1999 and have been a LifeWaves client since 2005. Dr. Dardik has been my trainer. Over the past 12 years I have gradually but inexorably regained lost flexibility, improved my balance, virtually eliminated shaking, acheived a materially lower resting heart rate, and significantly reduced the dyskenisia which often accompanies the progression of Parkinson's Disease. In addition my general health is improving so much that I have been able to reduce the level and quantity of medications that I take.See Note 26 on page 314 of this book to get more of the details. As Dr. Dardik states," Superwaves are a discovery-not a philosophy" To add to this thought, I say "my improved health is a result of my putting into practice the Superwaves principles discovered by Dr. Dardik through LIfeWaves. My much improved health is as first-hand an experience as anyone could hope for.

The basic premise of this book is that science has, for hundreds of years, got it wrong in claiming that matter is the basic substance out of which everything in the universe is composed. Instead, the author argues that waves nested within waves with all of these simultaneously "waving forward" constitute the basic "stuff" of the universe . What we call matter, including subatomic particles, arise from waves nested within waves moving forward with causal interaction occurring simultaneously from small waves to large waves and from large waves to small waves.The first part of the book develops the case that science evolved from the view that matter is primary and that the treatment of matter within science involves finding discrete material "parts" of nature and studying the relations among these parts. I found this part of the book quite informative. Some of the discussions about the way in which modern science works, including details on physical theories, particularly particle physics, are among the clearest I have encountered in any book about science aimed at a lay audience. Dardik has a firm grasp both on the development of science and on contemporary scientific knowledge.The second part of the book criticizes the standard perspective on science reviewed in the first part of the book and advances the argument that superwaves, the name Dardik gives to the "waves nested within waves" view of reality, constitute the true nature of nature. The author's enthusiasm for his ideas is apparent, sometimes to the point where it comes across as rather eccentric. Of concern is the repeated claim that Dardik has "discovered" superwaves. This claim is misleading in any standard scientific sense because all the author does is reinterpret the claims of science within the framework of his theory of superwaves. No attempt is made to directly test the superwave theory by trying to refute it. The theory is held to be true, and then contemporary scientific facts are construed within the context of superwaves. According to the author, superwave theory indicates that low-temperature fusion can be achieved through superimposition of "waves waving forward". The author has been involved directly in such efforts for many years, but thus far fusion has yet to be achieved. Using the superwave idea to achieve low-temperature fusion would indeed be a remarkable accomplishment, one that would get the attention of the mainstream scientific community, but until such an outcome can be achieved, the idea will continue to languish at the very fringe (and perhaps beyond the fringe) of contemporary scientific thought.Advancing the proposal that the basic substance of reality is not matter certainly is not new. Such proposals have been developed by philosophers of science (e.g. process philosophy ala A.N. Whitehead, C.S. Peirce, or the more contemporary perspective of Nicholas Rescher); However, such proposals have not been put forward as scientific "discoveries" as Dardik claims here. Dardik clearly lies well outside of the scientific mainstream and has a somewhat checkered history that involves losing his medical license in the process of treating patients through practices based on his wave theory and its relationship to human health. Time will tell whether Dardik is merely a wacky iconoclast or a maverick who has greater insight into the nature of reality than the collective brain power of the mainstream scientific community.

Expected more because it was recommended by well-known author who has written more than 30 books. If consciousness is not the answer, Law of Karma and soul and reincarnation can be investigated.
