The Tao of Physics

An Exploration of the Parallels between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism

By: Fritjof Capra

Narrated by: Michael McConnohie

"Science does not need mysticism and mysticism does not need science, but man needs both." —Fritjof Capra, Ph.D.
Their paths to the truth could not be more different—but the amazing thing is that, in their own ways, the mystics and the scientists are discovering the same truths about our world. In non-technical language, with no complex mathematics or formulae, this thought-provoking program explores 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, we gain a clear and fascinating picture of how such seemingly disparate areas of thought are ultimately quests for the same kind of understanding.

Too Short!

This is an abridged version of the book. I HAVE the book and hoped to be able to listen to the entire tome! Three for the performance only because it sounds like it was taped 50 years ago.

Exceptional

Very profound and interesting thoughts in this book. It was about time someone wrote about the similarities between science and Eastern mysticism. I am a student of Vedanta, with a fascination for science so this book is the perfect synergy of thoughts of the the two.

Very thought provoking.

I believe you must have a reasonable understanding of Physics and Eastern thought to make sense of the book. I don’t agree with some of his conclusions, but it made me think about mine.
