"Modern physics gave the third revolutionary step of the twentieth century thanks to Geoffrey Chew approach with his theory of <> particles, which unifies quantum mechanics and relativity theory. Fritjof Capra broadly describes the approach of Chew in his documentary "Unusual Wisdom", which discusses issues of science, metaphysics, religion, philosophy and health of important contemporary thinkers. "
"The <
" The hypothesis of Chew on <> states that: "(...) nature can not be reduced to fundamental entities, such as blocks of matter, but must fully understood through the self-consistency of its elements (...) accepts no fundamental entity at all: no constant, law, or fundamental equation is the universe (...) as a dynamic network of interrelated events, none of the properties of any part of this network is essential, all properties emerge elsewhere and the overall consistency of their interrelations determines the structure of the entire network. "(CAPRA 1994: 56). "
"The premises of philosophy <
" The parallels between quantum physics and Eastern mysticism is expressed, for example, paradoxical riddles of Zen tradition, called koans, that teachers pose to his disciples to stop the process of thought, experience the reality of a non-verbal and reach a state of enlightenment. Capra says about that: "(...) when you discover the solution, the paradoxical koan and becomes a deep and meaningful statement from the state of consciousness that has helped to awaken. " (1994:32). This "method" used by Zen Buddhists requires a great deal of concentration and attention, similar to that experienced by physicists like Heisenberg and Chew quantum paradoxes in their twenties, where according to "(...) Capra was the only master of nature. " Finally, acknowledge that: "(...) as in the Zen, the solutions of physical problems were hidden in paradoxes. " (1994:33). "
" The Eastern philosophies such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Zen, practiced by himself Capra, Heisenberg, Chew and other physical and Western thinkers, definitely contributed to these scientists perceive the physical world differently and have a new vision of reality in a more ecologically and in harmony with spiritual traditions. Cosmic rays, waterfalls energy particles and atoms of the elements collected during the cosmic dance of the universe or dancing Shiva, experienced by Capra, in one evening while watching the movement of the waves are a testament to how their physical investigations came to life: (. ..) I saw cascades of energy coming from outer space, (...) I saw the atoms of the elements and those of my body participating in this cosmic dance of energy (...) I felt its rhythm and I heard the sound "( 1997:17). This shows us that mysticism has been an important philosophical source in the construction of the new paradigm of complexity, and consciousness must be an essential aspect of the universe to be included in a future theory of physical phenomena (1997: 409). "
" The mathematical structure used by Chew for physics <
"This complex mathematical structure allowed Chew and his team go beyond the" fundamental equation "of Heisenberg, formulate and systematize a comprehensive theory of subatomic particles, ie, discard the old notion that the fundamental building blocks of matter were the electrons, protons and neutrons. Under this theory can not accept any fundamental entity at all. According to Capra: "(...) Chew has been deducting the performance characteristics of the models of quarks, not need to postulate the existence of any physical particle, practicing, so to speak, the physics of quarks without quarks (CAPRA 1999:61). "

" Paradoxically, the notion that any concept is considered as absolute, has kept the traditional Western science, with his usual questions-asked clearly and unambiguously experimentally verified - not have given the nature of science to focus <
