Overview

"With its unique combination of depth, clarity and humor that has enchanted millions, this beloved classic by best-selling author Gary Zukav opens the fascinating world of quantum physics to reader with no mathematical or technical background. "Wu Li" is the Chinese phrase for physics. It means "patterns of organic energy," but it also means "nonsense," "my way," "I clutch my ideas," and "enlightenment." These captivating ideas frame Zukav's evocative exploration of quantum mechanics and relativity theory. Delightfully easy to read, The Dancing Wu Li Masters illuminates the compelling powers at the core of all we know."--BOOK JACKET.

Brilliant science writing for the general reader, this is a history and explanation of physics as it evolved from Newton to the present.
