Tibetan Buddhism and Modern Physics
Toward a Union of Love and Knowledge
von Vic Mansfield
The author, a professor of physics and astronomy, provides an expedition through the heart of modern physics and Tibetan Buddhism, from quantum mechanics, relativity,and cosmology to emptiness, compassion, and disintegratedness.
Powerful connections are shown to exist between the Buddhist principle of emptiness and modern quantum physics, relativity, and the nature of time. Along with these harmonies, a significant conflict concerning the role of causality is explored.
This book concludes by responding to the question: "How does this expedition through the heart of modern physics and Tibetan Buddhism apply to today's painfully polarized world?"
Despite the subjects' differences and the questions raised in this book, Mansfield argues that when the message of universal compassion accompanies the spread of scientific worldview, there will be compassionate action in the light of deep understanding - a true union of love and knowledge.
