Physics has something to say about reality. It would not have survived as an approach to the world for so many centuries if that wasn’t the case. Yet we have to be careful. Physics has bought its success by narrowing its focus and developing a specific approach. We shouldn’t think of it as a ‘catch-all,’ capable of accounting for everything that we experience.

That’s a hard lesson for a physicist to learn.

A Hitchhiker’s Guide is written from observations, experiences and conversations and intended as helpful advice for fellow travellers. This journey begins with experiences that make no conventional sense and evolves into a quest that explores both modern physics, particularly the work of David Bohm, and the ancient metaphysics of the Dao de Jing, seeking to bridge the divide between two tribes that both use the word energy with completely different meaning.
