Re-reading: Blackfoot Physics by F. David Peat

F. David Peat holds a Ph.D. in theoretical physics and is deeply interested in the relationships between science, creativity, art and culture.


"Blackfoot physics is an account of his discoveries, in a remarkable synthesis of anthropology, history, metaphysics, cosmology and quantum theory. Peat compares the medicines, the myths, the languages, indeed the entire perceptions of reality of the Western and indigeneous peoples. What becomes apparent is the amazing resemblance between indigeneous teachings and some of the insights that are emerging from modern science. Peat's insightful observations extend our understanding of ourselves, our understanding of the Universe, and our place in it. This book is a captivating read for anyone interested in the relationship between science, spirituality, and different ways of knowing."
