Some argued that Capra used vague accidental similarities of language to show deeper connections between quantum physics and Eastern mystical thought. His book also raised awareness of the fact that quantum-physics pioneers like Bohr, Schrodinger and Heisenberg were fascinated by Eastern spiritual traditions.īut Capra was also criticized by members of the quantum-physics community. ![]() Capra described the parallels between the ancient Chinese notion of Tao and the subatomic world of particles revealed by quantum physics.Ĭapra's book opened the door to both quantum physics and Eastern mysticism for millions of people. ![]() ![]() In 1975, the American physicist Fitjof Capra published the first edition of his best-selling book The Tao of Physics.
