The Tao of Physics

A pioneering work of popular science, this book explores the striking parallels between modern physics and Eastern mystical traditions such as Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism. Drawing on developments in quantum theory and relativity, the author—himself a trained physicist and systems theorist—argues that the emerging worldview of contemporary physics resonates with ancient spiritual insights about the interconnected and dynamic nature of reality. Written for general readers, it blends scientific explanation with philosophical reflection, inviting a holistic understanding of science and spirituality. Both an intellectual history and a cultural touchstone of the late twentieth century, it will appeal to readers interested in physics, comparative religion, and the dialogue between science and mysticism.
