Zukav hypothesized that the world is probabilistic–or made of probability waves–and events unfolding in time are probability crystalizing as it is being observed.
Then the Light-Slit experiment showing how light can have two possible outcomes, but the actual outcome depends on how it is observed. Zukav went on to describe the monumental experiments that illustrated the strange wave-particle duality of light as according to Young’s experiment and Einstein’s experiment. Playing on these words, the author unfolded the history of quantum mechanics with intrigues.
The author, Gary Zukav, started by explaining the peculiar title, “Wu Li”, which is a Chinese phrase that could mean nonsense and physics. What a combination! “Wu Li”: Nonsense Physics Instead, I was up the entire 13 hour flight mesmerized by author’s intuitive explanation of quantum mechanics and its possible ties to faith. I decided to try it, figuring that at worst it canbe a good sleep aid. I came across The Dancing Wu Li Masters, not a kung-fu novel, but an easy to read e-book on quantum mechanics. My business travels often require long flights for which I needed something to entertain myself with.
