Their pronouncements on quantum mechanics are no more valid than mine would be if I suddenly set out to perform delicate surgery. Robert Lanza or a New Age/Alternative Medicine guru like Depak Chopra is not a particle physicist. I wish I had not written the review above, but I'll let it stand as mute warning to be careful of lay interpretations of science. That's what I said before reading extensively in physics and cosmology and before watching so many charlatans and the honest but misguided people duped by them try to sell Woo-Woo in place of solid science. "Science does not need mysticism and mysticism does not need science, but man needs both." The author's own words in the epilogue sum it up nicely.
Rather, it is a fascinating mental adventure showing the ways the two schools of thought often developed in parallel and came to similar conclusions from very different beginning points. Nor is this book a deep exploration of Taoism or other Eastern Religious Philosophy. Don't look to Capra for a highly disciplined discourse on particle physics or the nature of cosmology.
