3. His Indian background and his
American medical degree tie together eastern religion with western math. It does take time to roll it around in a mind that has been trained to understand info. given out in short blimps of information.

8. It might not seem so much like babble if you understood Eastern
Mysticism.....most westerners have no concept of what they are talking about....but those concepts are much deeper than most people understand. they had a accurate conceptual understanding of the universe long before Western man even thought about it.

12. He missinterprets quantum theory
And uses it to give some legitimacy to his mysticism bull.

15. Nonsense
One telescope will tell me more about the actual universe than a library full of "Mysticism".

16. But they knew about the universe hundreds of years before
the telescope.
So I guess it was a lucky guess.

11. He talks in gibberish
And perverts and misinterprets quantum theory to make a quick buck, or rupee as the case may be.

Other frauds are picking up this bull and trying to gain legitimacy by doing the same thing.

A fool and his money are quickly parted. That's wisdom people can understand.

13. It's actually "The Tao of Physics"...
Edited on Sun Sep-12-10 08:27 AM by Flubadubya
but, of course, Tao is pronounced Dow.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tao_of_Physics

But, you know, it is amazing how the Western mind has such a hard time grasping Eastern concepts of the universe. I suspect it has a great deal to do with the abject fear of death, particularly the death of the ego; the erroneous belief in "self".

Moreover, the revelations of quantum physics and the concepts of Eastern "mysticism" (if you will), converge quite accurately to give a true picture of "reality"... again, "Form is emptiness... emptiness, form."

Edited to add link.

14. We're not smart enough
to be certain how the universe works, let alone know what it is.
