Scientific American raves: “Zukav is such a skilled expositor, with such an amiable style, that it is hard to imagine a layman who would not find his book enjoyable and informative.” Accessible, edifying, and endlessly entertaining, The Dancing Wu Li Masters is back in a beautiful new edition-and the doors to the fascinating, dazzling, remarkable world of quantum physics are opened to all once again, no previous mathematical or technical expertise required.
Gary Zukav’s timeless, humorous, New York Times bestselling masterpiece, The Dancing Wu Li Masters, is arguably the most widely acclaimed introduction to quantum physics ever written. Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, New York Times Ballards basis for Photo- electron Spectroscopy and Molecular. At an Esalen Institute meeting in 1976, tai chi master Al Huang said that the Chinese word for physics is Wu Li, 'patterns of organic energy.'Journalist Gary Zukav and the others present developed the idea of physics as the dance of the Wu Li Masters-the teachers of physical essence. In The Dancing Wu Li Masters, Zukav allows students to look at the world through the eyes of modern physicists and physics.“The most exciting intellectual adventure I've been on since reading Robert Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.” Lectures to undergraduates and MSc students at the University of East Anglia served as R. In exquisite detail, Zukav covers such topics as: Some physicists even believe that, but the Wu Li Masters know that they are only dancing with it. Most people believe that physicists are explaining the world. This book deals not with knowledge, which is always past tense anyway, but with imagination, which is physics come alive, which is Wu Li.
The Wu Li Master always begins at the center, the heart of the matter.

It means “Patterns of Organic Energy,” but it also means “Nonsense,” “My Way,” “I Clutch My Ideas,” and “Enlightenment.” These enchanting ideas form the framework through which Zukav weaves his exploration of quantum mechanics and relativity theory. The much-loved classic introduction to quantum physics is written for students with no mathematical or technical background.
