Here is the book that brought the mystical implications of subatomic physics to popular consciousness for the very first time—way back in 1975. This special edition celebrates the thirty-fifth anniversary of this early Shambhala best seller that has gone on to become a classic. It includes a new preface by the author, in which he reflects on the further discoveries and developments that have occurred in the years since the book’s original publication. “Physicists do not need mysticism,” Dr. Capra says, “and mystics do not need physics, but humanity needs both.” It’s a message of timeless importance.

The TaO$^+$ molecular ion is proposed as a candidate system for detecting signatures of charge parity (${\cal{CP}}$) violating physics beyond the standard model of elementary particles. The electron electric dipole moment (EDM) effective electric field $E_{\text{eff}} = 20.2 \left[\frac{\rm GV}{\rm cm}\right]$, the nucleon-electron scalar-pseudoscalar (ne-SPS) interaction constant $W_{S} = 17.7$ [kHz] and the nuclear magnetic quadrupole interaction constant $W_M = 0.45$ [$\frac{10^{33} {\text{Hz}}}{e\, {\text{cm}}^2}$] are found to be sizeable ${\cal{P,T}}$-odd enhancements. The ratio of the leptonic and semi-leptonic enhancements differs strongly from the one for the ThO system which may provide improved limits on the electron EDM, $d_e$, and the SPS coupling constant, $C_S$. TaO$^+$ is found to have a ${^3\Delta_1}$ electronic ground state like the previously proposed ThF$^+$ molecular ion, but an order of magnitude smaller parallel G-tensor component which makes it less vulnerable to systematic errors in experiment.

The Tao of Physics is a groundbreaking exploration of the parallels between modern physics and eastern mysticism. The book's central thesis, that the mystical traditions of the East constitute a coherent philosophical framework within which the most advanced Western theories of the physical world can be accommodated, has not only withstood the test of time but is ever more emphatically endorsed by ongoing experimentation and research.

Wheaton, Illinois : Theosophical Society in America, 1977. (3 hours, 33 minutes) Fritjof Capra is the author of the best-selling book (1975) The Tao of Physics. Dr. Capra discusses some of the provocative ideas in his book. There are two kinds of knowledge: rational and intuitive. Though different from each other, they may be understood as complementary rather than diametrically opposed. Modern science operates within the rational framework while mysticism operates within the intuitive framework. This comparison is roughly analogous to the Chinese concept of the Yang (masculine) and Yin (feminine). Society has emphasized the Yang, but we are witnessing the beginning of a tremendous evolutionary movement characterized by new emphasis on the Yin or feminine aspect of life. A panel discussion with Dr. Renée Weber and Dr. Mel Melvin is included. A presentation of The Theosophical Society in America.

Terence Tao is widely considered to be one of the greatest mathematicians in history. He won the Fields Medal and the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics, and has contributed to a wide range of fields from fluid dynamics with Navier-Stokes equations to mathematical physics & quantum mechanics, prime numbers & analytics number theory, harmonic analysis, compressed sensing, random matrix theory, combinatorics, and progress on many of the hardest problems in the history of mathematics.
