I'm not suggesting that science is supporting the dogma which tends to surround institutionalized religion. In fact science is beginning to support some of the fundamental tenants of most religions and is laying a groundwork for a new spirituality. You may be surprised to learn that, unlike a 100 years ago, science is no longer waging an all out assault upon religion. You will also see how the laymen's understanding of science is about a 100 years behind the times. You will also learn why the universe is not like a giant machine, with the implication that we are something more than organic robots or automatons. You will learn why it appears that our consciousness may help to create "reality" and how the scientist cannot help but influence the outcome of experiments on sub-atomic particles. After reading The Dancing Wu Li Masters you will understand why people make that assertion. The new physics is ushering in that belief. Many believe that we are on the verge of a paradigm shift in our scientific thinking. If you have an interest in cosmology, mysticism, paranormal, altered states of consciousness, or similar topics you may be surprised how today's physics relates. Why might you be interested in physics? Well, you might not, but then again you might and just don't know it. You do not need a scientific nor mathematical background to comprehend this book, only a desire to learn about physics. Zukav does more than just present the physics, he fills in some of the context and historical background in which our science developed and does so in an interesting manner. If you want to learn about Einstein's Relativity Theories, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, Bohr's atom, Schrödinger's Cat, or Quantum Mechanics, i can think of no better book to introduce you to the topic than The Dancing Wu Li Masters. But make no mistake about it, The Dancing Wu Li Masters is first and foremost a book about physics for the layman.
They overlap in that the "new physics" is leading us toward a profoundly new concept of reality, and both books address this. The Dancing Wu Li Masters differs quite a bit from The Holographic Universe, but there is also a lot of overlap and dovetailing between the two. If that whets your appetite to learn more about physics, which it very well might, then come back and read this book. 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.
