Amazon.co.uk
At an Esalen Institute meeting in 1976, Tai chi master Al Huang said that the Chinese word for physics is Wu Li, "patterns of organic energy." Journalist Gary Zukav and the others present developed the idea of physics as the dance of the Wu Li Masters--the teachers of physical essence. Zukav explains the concept further:
The Wu Li Master dances with his student. The Wu Li Master does not teach, but the student learns. The Wu Li Master always begins at the centre, the heart of the matter. This book deals not with knowledge, which is always past tense anyway, but with imagination, which is physics come alive, which is Wu Li. Most people believe that physicists are explaining the world. Some physicists even believe that, but the Wu Li Masters know that they are only dancing with it.
The "new physics" of Zukav's 1979 book comprises quantum theory, particle physics and relativity. Even as these theories age they haven't percolated all that far into the collective consciousness: they're too far removed from mundane human experience not to need introduction. The Dancing Wu Li Masters remains an engaging, accessible way to meet the most profound and mind- altering insights of 20th-century science. --Mary Ellen Curtin, Amazon.com
Kurzbeschreibung
This is an account of the essential aspects of the new physics for those with little or no knowledge of mathematics or science. It describes current theories of quantum mechanics, Einstein's special and general theories of relativity and other speculations, alluding throughout to parallels with modern psychology and metaphorical abstractions to Buddhism and Taoism. The author has also written "The Seat of the Soul".

This book is by Finkelstein (co-author with Zukov). Talk about gluten for punishment I read this twice. I swear the person that wrote this does not have a TV (maybe because he said so on Opra). I noticed that there are a references to the "New Physics" is that like "New Age"?
90% of the matter must be missing from this book. Or how else can he take physics out of context and make such fantastic leaps to religions that he knows little of. He even twists the religion around to serve some unknown purpose.
Many people say they did not understand physics until this book. Surprises, you still do not. You now know what Zukav wished physics was. Take anti-mater for an instant that does not mean the opposite of mater. And the relationship between particles has no correlation with the relationship of dogs and cats.
At least get it straight before mixing it up. Try some to these:
The Ascent of Man by Jacob Bronowski ISBN: 0316109339
The Upanishads by Eknath Easwaran (Editor), Michael N. Nagler (Photographer) ISBN: 0915132397
Or just about any mainstream material on physics and religion.
Then if you still want to mix worlds into one read someone saner:
The Tao of Physics: An Exploration of the Parallels Between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism by Fritjof Capra ISBN: 0877735948

How to mislead one with semantics
21. November 2001
Gary Zukav states in his introduction "I had never studied physics. In fact I didn't like science and I had no mathematical aptitude.
On Opra (TV) he admitted that he does not have a TV which may explain his lack of contemporary physics let alone any depth.
I noticed that some reviewers refer to the "New Physics" is that like "New Age" or voodoo physics?

Also on the fringe but not as radical as Zukav is a series called "What the Bleep." (Both in books and on video)
