Major Work
Wolff has found the structure of the electron consisting of two spherical quantum waves, one moving radially outward and another moving radially inward. The center of the waves is the nominal location of the electron 'particle'. These waves extend to infinity, like charge force. All 'particle' waves mix and contribute to each other, thus all matter of the universe is interrelated by this intimate connection between the fundamental 'particles' and the universe. The natural laws are a direct consequence of this Wave Structure of Matter (WSM), thus WSM underlies all of science.
Three Principles underlie the WSM
Principle I. Wave Equation Determines the behavior of Quantum Waves in Space.
Principle II. Wave Density Principle. Generalization of Mach's Principle - determines the density of the quantum wave medium.
Principle III. Minimum Amplitude Principle (MAP). The sum of Wave Amplitudes seeks a Minimum at each point in Space.
ABSTRACT: In the last millennium we learned that objects obey fixed laws of nature. Until
the last decade, these laws have been entirely empirical; that is, the laws were measured
properties of nature, no theoretical or physical origin was known. These measurements
indicated that the movement of energy and information, which are needed to carry out the
laws, travel consistently at the speed of light. This motion satisfied our rule of causality;
that is: Events always occur after their causes.
