Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

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



Product Description

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".

5.0 out of 5 stars Science, Philosophy and the Spiritual., 3 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This book will give you a great deal more than insight into the field of quantum physics. Gary manages to make this notoriously dry subject accessible to those not in the least bit interested in Mathematics and at the same time let the reader discover that science and spirit are perhaps not that far apart as would first seem. For those with an enquiring mind there is sufficient detail to satisfy but in addition there is a corresponding amount for further thought. The book allows the reader the glimpse into the structure of the universe that shows us that we are not all as separate as we once thought and gives an excellent springboard for further pholosophical thought on the nature of perception- loved it.

This book gave me so many new concepts to what I already believed in. One of the few books that you will go back to again and again.
