Good Morning:<br><br>
Tonight we will be talking about five types of mysticism and contemporary
(as opposed to classical) physics. Best selling books such as
<i>The Tao of Physics</i> and <i>Dancing Wu Li Masters</i> suggest that
there are some essential links between mysticism and physics, but I don't
think so.<br><br>
The reading is a

<font size=2>"Truth is the summit of being; justice is the
application of it to human affairs."<br>
--Ralph Waldo Emerson<br><br>
"Abstract truth has no value unless it incarnates in human beings
who represent it, by proving their readiness to die for it."<br>
--Mohandas Gandhi<br><br>
"Modern physics has taught us that the nature of any system cannot
be discovered by dividing it into its component parts and studying each
part by itself. . . .We must keep our attention fixed on the whole and on
the interconnection between the parts. The same is true of our
intellectual life. It is impossible to make a clear cut between science,
religion, and art. The whole is never equal simply to the sum of its
various parts." --Ma</font><font size=1>x Planck<br><br>
