Truth is a simple absolute, which is nearly impossible to define. To begin our discussion, however, we will define truth objectively and subjectively. Objectively, truth is the condition in which evidence is consistent with theory. Subjectively, truth is the acknowledgement of our present and actual feelings.

Thus, we could say there are two aspects to truth; the truth known through feeling, and the truth known when observed evidence conforms to established rules. Whereas the truth associated with feeling is a direct experience, truth associated with objectivity relies upon the co-dependence of evidence and theory.

The establishment of theories arises because evidence seems to suggest the theories exist. Physics are the established theories for testing truth in the objective, material world of science. Our goals in metaphysics are both to “know” truth through physics, and directly experience truth through feeling.

The truth we are concerned about in metaphysics is the truth of existence. In this book, we will explore our existence both as a physical entity created within a physical world, and as an experiential entity who feels the physical world.

To integrate these two aspects of truth, we need a physics, which both quantifies physical existence and feelings. The Aether Physics Model provides this integrated physics.
