'This' is also 'That' and 'That' is also 'This'. Review on Tao of Physics - Fritjof Capra

This best work of science fiction is only for the people who understand the concepts of Modern Physics very well. This doesnt mean that others cant read it. But those who are very familiar with the concepts of Modern Physics will be able to relate more with the parallels drawn by the author between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism.

This book is about Beauty. Beauty here refers to the surprise, curiosity and happiness that enthralls your soul during the course of reading the book. Indeed the author has done a great deal of research before writing the book. And it is evident more so when you read and realise that the it so simply written that anyone can understand it.

I would classify the book in three parts. First part takes you through the fundamentals of the Modern Physics. The second part is about the concepts of eastern mysticism which essentially comprise of Hinduism, Taoism and Budhism. The final part draws parallel between the two. This is the part which will surely surprise and you will be amazed to discover certain facts and principles which you knew before but never related well with science.

Chuan Tzu (Taoist) says:

The ''this'' is also ''that.'' The ''that'' is also ''this.'' . . . That the ''that'' and the ''this'' cease to be opposites is the very essence of Tao. Only this essence, an axis as it were, is the center of the circle responding to the endless changes.

Its like particles and their antiparticles in atoms.

So fellows do read the book.
