The central premise of the book is that the ancient and mystical traditions of the East hold a rational theoretical skeleton, which can accommodate the advanced Western theories of the modern world.The author mostly compares the modern theory of quantum physics to the beliefs and practices of Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism. In this way, he establishes a strong connect between the two different schools of thought. The author has avoided usage of complex mathematics while explaining various observations of Eastern religions.Poetically written, the book neither tries to teach the intricacies of physics, nor does it preach Eastern religion. It is simply an examination of the progress of science toward faith and how the two are indivisible. The Tao of Physics was published by HarperCollins India in 2007 and is available in paperback format. Key Features: The Tao of Physics was originally published in 1975 and still holds relevance today. Review: What western world experiment with our beliefs - This is a good book explaining Science behind our beliefs and rituals Review: Eye Opening - The book makes you think a way far different from conventionally taught or trained. It's not a usual science textbook. A must read. But it's a time consuming book because it doesn't serve you things straight, every part you need to read think and ponder over every concepts again and again but it will be worth it ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #10,099 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #994 in Religion & Spirituality (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 749 Reviews | ## Images ![The Tao of Physics: An Exploration Of The Parallels Between Modern Physics & Eastern Mysticism - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61dHBvx2GAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What western world experiment with our beliefs *by H***A on 8 July 2026* This is a good book explaining Science behind our beliefs and rituals ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Eye Opening *by G***I on 7 January 2026* The book makes you think a way far different from conventionally taught or trained.

In particular we can recognize parallels between many ancient mystic ideas and the modern quantum physical findings of superposition (and non locality), the duality of light and matter, and the ultimate non-physicality of nature. For many years there have been cultures that ascribed to these types of ideas as crazy as they sounded when they first hit the physics arena in the 20th century. These ideas weren't really new at all because mystics and the like had believed them for centuries prior. What was not discovered until this last century was the mathematics and scientific evidence to give these ancient mystic religions and precepts any foundation to be taken seriously, especially since most of society had largely given up on that mysticism for ideas such as atomism, newtonian mechanics, etc. This book does a good job pointing out these parallels and thus demonstrates how the pendulum has swung away from those ancient ideas, and has now begun to swing back. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Tao of Physics - Dancing Wu Li Masters: An Enlightening Exploration of Quantum Physics, Eastern Philosophy, and the Interplay of Science and Spirituality - The Tao of Physics: An Exploration of the Parallels between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/78178262-the-tao-of-physics-an-exploration-of-the-parallels-between](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/78178262-the-tao-of-physics-an-exploration-of-the-parallels-between) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
