About the book
The Tao of Physics: An Exploration of the Parallels Between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism
By Fritjof Capra
Science does not need mysticism and mysticism does not need science, but man needs them both." These are the words of Fritjof Capra, a theoretical physicist, systems theorist, writer, and lecturer. Capra uses non-technical language, with no complex mathematics of formulae, to explore the main concepts and theories of modern physics, the revelations coming from particle accelerators and laboratories - and compares them with the ancient tenets of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism. In the process, the reader gains a clear and fascinating picture of how such seemingly disparate areas of thought are ultimately quests for the same kind of understanding. - Audible
