In that case, i would steer you toward The Holographic Universe. If, however, you are totally sciencephobic and have absolutely no curiosity about physics, you are unlikely to get your money's worth from this book. It is well written and understandable by mere mortals. I would recommend it to any layman with an interest in physics.

Reviewed by Michael Kisor The Dancing Wu Li Masters is a classic. Mary Ellen Curtin أقرأ المزيد.'The Dancing Wu Li Masters' An Overview of the New Physics The Dancing Wu Li Masters remains an engaging, accessible way to meet the most profound and mind-altering insights of 20th-century science. 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 'new physics' of Zukav's 1979 book comprises quantum theory, particle physics, and relativity. Some physicists even believe that, but the Wu Li Masters know that they are only dancing with it. Most people believe that physicists are explaining the world. This book deals not with knowledge, which is always past tense anyway, but with imagination, which is physics come alive, which is Wu Li. The Wu Li Master always begins at the center, the heart of the matter. The Wu Li Master does not teach, but the student learns.

Zukav explains the concept further: The Wu Li Master dances with his student. Like a Wu Li Master who would teach us wonder for the falling petal before speaking of gravity, Zukav writes in beautifully clear language-with no mathematical equations-opening our minds to the exciting new theories that are beginning to embrace the ultimate nature of our universe.Quantum mechanics, relativity, and beyond to the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen effect and Bell's theorem.Īt 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.
