An account of the essential aspects of the new physics, for a general audience with little or no scientific or mathematical knowledge. Throughout the book the parallels with modern psychology and the metaphorical abstractions of Buddhism and Taoism are discussed. The book describes in detail current theories of quantum mechanics, Einstein's special and general theories of relativity and other more esoteric speculations. This is a new edition to coincide with the publication of the author's second book The Seat of the Soul.
