Description
The Tao of Physics is a classic study of the prominent similarities between Eastern mysticism and modern physics. The central premise of the book is that the ancient and mystical traditions of the East hold a rational theoretical skeleton, which can accommodate the advanced Western theories of the modern world.The author mostly compares the modern theory of quantum physics to the beliefs and practices of Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism. In this way, he establishes a strong connect between the two different schools of thought.
