Studies similarities between the concept of a harmonious universe that emerges from the theories of modern physics and the vision of a continuously interactive world conceived by Eastern mystics

An Exploration of the Parallels Between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism

The Tao of Physics

anjali

A nuclear physicist's ruminations on eastern philosophy and the parallels between physics and metaphysics. This book will be special to me always because it led me to discovering Heisenberg, quantum mechanics, Zen and Taoism. The sense I got out of this book was physics - science, even - is so much bigger, better and grander than what school textbooks could ever, ever tell you. Beautiful. Opened my eyes.

Pranav

A fascinating exploration of the innumerable parallels between cutting edge physics and Eastern philosophies. The book tends to become too technical and somewhat boring for the non-scientist reader at times, but the explanations following such technical content is beautiful. The book introduces you to many concepts in the Tao, Buddhism, Jainism, and Hinduism. The overarching summary of the book is 'entanglement' or 'interconnectedness'. Every single iota of creation is energy, not a discrete object by itself. You are affected by others actions, and you affect the actions of others. So, choose your thoughts and the people around you wisely, they will influence your future.
