This becomes somewhat of a pun as there are many other Chinese characters that could be rendered as 'wu li' in atonal pinyin, and chapters of the book are each titled with alternative translations of Wu Li, such as 'Nonsense', 'My Way' and 'I Clutch My Ideas'. Delightfully easy to read, The Dancing Wu Li Masters illuminates the compelling powers at the core of all we know.The toneless pinyin phrase Wu Li in the title is most accurately rendered 物理 in Chinese characters, one Chinese translation of the word 'physics' in the light of the book's subject matter. It means 'patterns of organic energy,' but it also means 'nonsense,' 'my way,' 'I clutch my ideas,' and 'enlightenment.' These captivating ideas frame Zukav's evocative exploration of quantum mechanics and relativity theory. 'Wu Li' is the Chinese phrase for physics. With its unique combination of depth, clarity, and humor that has enchanted millions, this beloved classic by bestselling author Gary Zukav opens the fascinating world of quantum physics to readers with no mathematical or technical background.
