Publisher's Summary

"Science does not need mysticism and mysticism does not need science; but man needs them both." These are the words of Fritjof Capra, a theoretical physicist, systems theorist, writer, and lecturer. In this program, Capra uses non-technical language, with no complex mathematics of formulae, to explore 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, the listener gains a clear and fascinating picture of how such seemingly disparate areas of thought are ultimately quests for the same kind of understanding.

Physics and ancient mythology tell the same story

Both deepened and simplified the way I view the universe. Narrator was difficult. Powerful.

Where physics and spiritually meet

Investigates the spiritual implications of modern physics and how they relate to eastern mysticism. Very inspiring. This book can change your view if the world completely.
