Fritjof Capra (born February 1, 1939) is an Austrian-born American physicist, systems theorist, and ecological thinker. He is best known for his 1975 book 'The Tao of Physics', which explores parallels between modern physics and Eastern mysticism. Capra advocates for deep ecology and systems thinking, integrating science, society, and ecology. His works, including 'The Turning Point' and 'The Web of Life', have influenced global environmental movements and interdisciplinary studies. He co-founded the Center for Ecoliteracy in Berkeley, California, promoting sustainable education. Capra's ideas have sparked both acclaim and criticism, but he remains a key figure in paradigm shift discourse. more

“The poet alone knows astronomy, chemistry, vegetation, and animation, for he does not stop at these facts, but employs them as signs. He knows why the plain, or meadow of space, was strown with these flowers we call suns, and moons, and stars; why the deep is adorned with animals, with men, and gods; for, in every word he speaks he rides on them as the horses of thought.”

“The universe is an asymmetrical entity. I am inclined to believe that life as it is manifested to us must be a function of the asymmetry of the universe or of the consequence of this fact. The universe is asymmetrical; for if one placed the entire set of bodies that compose the solar system, each moving in its own way, before a mirror, the image shown would not be superimposable on the reality.”

“The universe seems to me infinitely strange and foreign. At such a moment I gaze upon it with a mixture of anguish and euphoria; separate from the universe, as though placed at a certain distance outside it; I look and I see pictures, creatures that move in a kind of timeless time and spaceless space, emitting sounds that are a kind of language I no longer understand or ever register.”
